    Limit Break and NIN... and BRD?

    Tanks, specialized in Vitality, make a defensive wall.
    Healers, specialized in Mind, heal.
    Mages, specialized in Intelligence, drop the cosmos.
    Fighters, specialized in Strength, hit hard.
    ... Bards, specialized in Dexterity, heal?
    ... Ninja, specialized in Dexterity, will probably hit hard?

    It seems like the method a Limit Break gets decided could be standardized a little better than simply by class. Could it instead work that it's decided by the highest attribute-- once modifiers have been removed?--upon initiating the cast? This would ensure healers can't Cleric Stance into Meteor, while giving our DEX-heavy DPS their own useful limits.

    Tanks = defensive wall
    Healers/Support = mass heal/raise
    Magic DPS = hit hard AoE
    Physical DPS = hit hard single target

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.

    Captain obvious, away.
    What I'm suggesting is that Bard is still a damage dealer, no matter how you slice it, and that having an attribute-based Limit Break distribution opens the door to give them a unique damage dealing limit alongside Ninja. Haven't seen a successful Bard-based limit in a year, would love to see all-BRD-dps runs of dungeons stop having an unused limit bar, and as the list of jobs grows, the help text over the Limit will just look too cluttered over time. So, why not?

    They already said they were revisiting Limit Break for 3.0.

    They even hinted at personal Limit Break instead of group ones.

    Limit Break should be individual and unique based on classes, not stats.
