Class-Specific Limit Breaks

Mage LB had/has some pretty nice uses

Dungeon trash maybe.

PvP says hi.

PvP doesn't work the same, nor does it count.

Mage lb has far more uses then dungeons just like someone already pointed out.

Also just as a note to some that may not know, Bard lb is actually stronger then caster. Obviously there are reasons you would use one class lb over another.
Before hw i really did not like that say smn, blm had the same exact lb same goes for drg, Nin, Monk
Now at least it "seems" different

Oh and yes PVP, don't you just get a 1 bar lb? I only recently got back into PVP so dunno.

I agree ^^;
Also, since you only have three bars of LB when you have a full party currently in combat with a final boss of an instance, you lose that third bar the moment the battle ends. So no LB3 for your viewing pleasure, unfortunately.

Being able to see the full LB3 animation at the inn would be a really nice feature. Because even when it's an LB you see used more often, you don't always have time to pause what you're doing to actually look at it ^^; Especially if it's not you doing the LB.

Seriously! ^^. When I am on my NIN and asked to use my LB, I can zoom in and watch, but with all the action going on, other folks don't have the opportunity to do the same.

If we could view them, at least some folks won't be left out in never seeing (or using) their LB3 for the first time..unless your the strongest single target DPS at the moment. Hell SE, give us a full LB3 bar when engaged in battle with a training dummy out in the residential areas!

Which is only part of the reason that this game will die to homogenization.

The overwhelming focus on keeping everyone the same means the jobs have little to no flavor.

the game being inclusive will not kill it. that's just not logical.

I was going to suggest this as well, but you beat me to it. It would be nice for those of us who don't get to see or use ours practically ever.

Whether you like it a or not, AoE LB has had its uses in encounters in the past.

Also I wish people were more willing to LB trash dungeons.

Nothing I've seen suggests brd/mch lb is stronger than caster, but maybe I'm out of date?

Only one I can find saying other wise is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...the_brdmch_lb/ but their evidence is "it's generally accepted" so idk what to make of that. The wiki doesn't have potencies for phys ranged lb.

Either way, as others have said, 2+ targets better for ranged/caster lb, which is pretty often. The ones that get kinda shafted are healer/tank lbs

[RiceisNice]

...

Ranged LB is weaker than caster's by about 10% from my experience. And even then, there's absolutely no reason for it considering the effective range is pitiful compared to caster, especially on trash pulls; the width is an absolute joke (its no wider than a roegadyn) and you won't hit a pack of mobs with how they pool over a tank.

[CGMidlander]

Dungeon trash maybe.

It's the highest potency LB you can use for 2 or more targets. (e.g. Oppressor + 0.5 in A1S, last wave in A2S, Living Liquid + hand in last phase of A3S...etc.)


Specific potencies:
Melee LB1: 2300
Caster LB1: n*1400

Melee LB2: 5000
Caster LB2: n*3000

Melee LB3: 9000
Caster LB3: n*5400

Where n=the number of targets
