Limit breaks should all do the same damage

You do know that any more than 1 target and caster/ranged LB is stronger than melee LB right?

Yea, all those trials and raids with more than one target...you don't see LB3 unless in a full party.

I simply want to see more variety in LBs.

I would think melee would all be clamouring for this. You do more dps when you're not casting LB you know. And its not like you won't use melee LB.

Your raid could switch it up! Maybe use bard one day and summoner the next.

I second the idea of individual limit breaks though, but we'd have to be careful that its not like, oh its 5 minutes in, everyone pop their lb's hurr durr and noone can see anything.

I'm pretty sure I don't do 20k+ damage in the time it takes me to use a LB, even if I had all my buffs going, and I make sure to use lb when my buffs are down, so I'm replacing a lull in my DPS with the massive spike that is the lb. Monks might be able to argue in favor of not wanting to lb, but that's only because of Greased Lightning.

Its party dps not your personal dps, or honestly do you think any parsers are like, omg that guy did 500 more dps than anyone else cause he used the LB?

Every raid uses their worst dps to LB, this is what I mean.

I'm sure for personal reasons (like BotD and GL dropping, timer issues) many players would LOVE to have someone else LB.

Except if they like the animation. Which, you know, I do, I wanna use it. Also SMN can LB while losing pretty much zero personal dps.

This was just a fun suggestion guys, it isn't really meant to be a "this needs to happen" or completely balanced or anything.

I mentioned that it would make sense for caster LB to split damage because otherwise you would only ever use caster LB (not that I mind =P) and we'd have the reverse problem.

Maybe we could make it so that melee LB cleaves nearby targets. Ranged/caster AoE splits between all targets, but with an increased potency per target.

So melee would be used for clumped up adds, ranged/caster for spread out, and for single target you could use any.

Iam getting pretty tired of not being able to use the single target melee LB in dungeons cause the Bard wants to pop it and do crap damage on the boss (single target)

I wish we all just had our own separate limit break bars, now that would be fun, they dont even have to do massive damage, just slightly better then my best attack and id be happy
