Range DPS LB confirmed?

Here you go!

Thank you!

So the new Limit Break for ranged DDs is... a Fate/Stay Night side story rip. Awesome. No, I mean it, Unlimited Blade Works makes for a cool Limit.

It was confirmed long ago that BRD's LB3 was changing to a DPS one. MCH's following suit shouldn't be any more of a shock.

I would hope that that massive aoe look a like is more of a single target, or it also inflicts some kind of long debuff to make it more usable because as of now i guarantee that melee dps will still be pretty much the most used lb.

It's a pretty safe assumption that it's not going to be any different for bards or machinists than the existing AoE limit break. If you start having variations like that, you'll get classes that are undesireable due to the nature of their limit break. All melee will be single target, all ranged will be AoE, all healers will have the heal/raise and all tanks will have damage reduction.

Can totally see this in the future:

Party: "Hey BLM, caster LB those adds."
BLM: "But mah deeps. Have the Bard do it."

I've never seen anyone Voted out because of lack of a limit, ever. I HAVE seen people actively avoiding using the Limit when there was someone who could use it. What this does do, however, is address the elephant that's been in the room since Limit Break was added, Bard not even being able to use it outside of threat of wipe. We've been asking for it for years now, it's about time.

You mean Gates of Babylon.

I saved a lot of stupid moments with the Healer LB as BRD and a part of me will always sorely miss it. I can't be mad because I know it's been necessary for BRD to have a proper LB, but still, a tear is shed and butt cheeks clenched for the coming wipes we will sustain.

I'll still always want personal LBs, though.

All problems would be solved if we got individual LB bars. XD

Orbital strike....tactical nuke, I see no difference.

Really? It reminds me more of Myriad Arrows.
