Ranged LB direction/effect size

[Shirobi]

This would be such a welcomed addition! I cant count the number of times on bard I've been hitting the monster with my attacks but then LB and see the beam go flying off to the side, hitting nothing (While my normal attacks were still hitting, mind you!).

A very, very needed change!

Either that or make it a narrow conical shaped instead of a thin rectangle line--or increase the width of the radius by a few 1-2y. As it's difficult to line up targets and the it's already the weakest damage LB3, at least let it have the potential to hit the most targets.


Physical LB: Highest Damage, single target
Magical LB: Highest Damage, multi target, can place reticule wherever caster wants within range.
Ranged LB: Lowest Damage, multi target, hard to gauge distance and radius without visual aid.

I know Ranged LB is the weakest since Casters and Melee are DPS, and Ranged are Support+DPS that can deal damage without stopping to cast (nevermind except for WM and Gauss), but it at least balance it out by giving it a wider range, or maybe a secondary DoT effect or debuff or something.

Ranged LB is the weakest, but its not that much lower than the caster LB. Also, Ranged LB3 is really long. Able to reach both bosses across the room in A1/S long.

So can caster LB, and ranged LB still requires the MCH/BRD to skillshot it by running over into the hitbox of one of the bosses to hit both of them.

wow, didn't know Ranged LB is slightly weaker than caster lb

well that sucks...if anything, figured it would be the same or slightly stronger since Brds/Mchs have to actually target something and line up a shot

BLM and SMN are full DPS. BRD and MCH are support-dps. That's why caster LB is stronger.

Being labeled 'support' because of Ballad and Paeon (and being punished in the damage dealing/LB dept because of it) is wrong and needs to stop. Ranged LB should be just as strong as Caster LB, at least.
