i did a bit of limit break damage testing.

That's why, as a BRD, I don't even bother with LB unless it's specifically asked of me. I did a LB in Aurum Vale a while back b/c the other DPS was dead and it was very underwhelming. At least with the healing LB, there were still specific instances where mass healing would be the better decision over doing damage.

I can't remember if it was ever confirmed or not, but it feels like it only counts the living party members in damage calculations for LB. I'd like to get a definitive test on it sometime
