Why do you save your LB?

[Odett]

I'm seeing that there are misconceptions about LB strength. Does it say in the Combat text how much damage an LB did? If it does, I'll definitely perform a little experimental trial when some FC mates are on, once LBing with a full live party, and a second time with one or more dead members. I'll hopefully get back to you guys soon (or if someone does this sooner than me, I'd greatly appreciate if you shared your results ^^)!

I have been under the assumption that a dead person's (weapon) item level is factored into the limit breaker's damage output as "0" (or at least something awful) and thus greatly decreases its potency.

I play a monk and have used hundreds of LB's over the months, and this seems to be consistent 100 % of the time. When things go awry in Titan Extreme, for example, and we have 3-4 people dead, I am counting on a different player to pop the 3x healer LB if needed because I know that me using it on Titan will result in a negligible amount of damage.

I have observed this in all other content as well. If your party is on the verge of wiping, and you use the LB as a clutch to finish off a boss, do not expect great results.
