Enjoy Summoner before it gets nerfed...

Do you understand how much more powerful caster lb is on the long run? Those 20 plus kills 500k damage kills, are a result of smn battle fever farming which it can do relatively easy. Just 2 casters working together can be devastating to an entire allience. Brining up any other lb is just insulting when you have the best lb in the game. Btw 1 heal , stun can also ruin a melee lb.

All this talk about limit breaks is ridiculous. Melee lb is the highest single target dps, ranged lb is the highest ranged dps, tank lb is the best party wide damage reduction ability, healer lb is the best party wide restoration ability, and all of which come from a pooled resource for an entire party. These abilities are the absolute height of their respective roles and are used situationally so they should not be factored into any individual class' abilities. The effectiveness of lbs should only be compared to each other.

What I'm saying is, these abilities belong to the party and not the individual who uses it.

Umm what? I wish this were true cause I would love nothing more than to see the individual limit breaks gone but last I checked they are still in place in seize. There is no pooled lb in seize ur thinking about secure probably and since this thread is about smns at lvl 60 and secure is capped at 50 then yeah......

Fixed that for you. No competent dragoon/monk will lb before putting fetter ward up beforehand so stun/sleep/kneeling down in prayer is irrelevant and will not save you. The only thing that can (aside from any obvious direct dmg mitigation abilities/lb) is high hp as you implied and an instant cure immediately after you eat the lb (some ppl nerf their dmg for this reason as dps and run with fending accessories). Perhaps a knockback would also work as I dont think fetter ward blocks that but stun is irrelevant. Someone else would have to knockback for you though cause again if the melee has half a brain you will be stunned urself and be unable to do so (even a 2 second delay is too late to stop it from going off). Its an incredibly cheesy lb.

A quick reaction from your party or even yourself (given that you ate) can interrupt an LB with a knockback, or straight up ruin the melee's day with burst damage and kill him before the LB animation finishes (which is pretty risky if you are a battle high/fever without a healer actively babysitting you). Granted this is taking into account you're sniping a individual out of a group, but honestly if you get caught with your pants down by yourself, that's more-or-less a death sentence regardless of who or what it was.
