    Thanks for your patience as the development team reworked the changes to the Limit Break charge rate.

    In Patch 3.2, we're planning to make the following adjustments to the rate in which the Limit Break gauge accumulates.

    Content which utilizes the Duty Finder matching.

    Regardless of the party composition, the accumulation rate will always be constant.

    Content which does not utilize the Duty Finder matching.
    (Content such as Alexander: Midas (Savage))

    Under the below conditions, the Limit Break gauge will accumulate at a slower rate:
    • When there are 3 or more Tank class/jobs.
    • When there are 5 or more DPS class/jobs.
    • When there are 3 or more Healer class/jobs.
    • When there are 2 or more of the same class/jobs.
    RIP solo healing

    A whole extra dps is going to do more damage than whatever the difference in accumulation rate drops to... Not like they are getting rid of lb altogether.

    Not so bad for DPS, but if we get another turn like T13 where we need tank LB. Then good game for anyone that wants to try solo heal or tank.

    It's a tradeoff... You either go with a diversified composition and get normal LB rate, or you try to win with stacking and lower LB rate.

    That depends on what their definition of "slower" is. I have a feeling that their definition is something closer to "almost nonexistent".

    I would imagine it would be the same rate at which "slower LB" is right now, which off the top of my head rough guesstimate (not properly tested) is about 2/3 of the optimal rate, so over the course of the fight you would lose maybe one or two LB1 stacks worth of LB (assuming you hit LB3 immediately, also using Thordan to get this result in my head).

    edit: actually now that I think about it, It's even faster than 2/3 (more like 3/4 or 4/5), but even keeping figure at 2/3, the tradeoff is not severe at all.

    You can still solo heal and with 5 dps the limit gauge is irrelevant with the exception of the TANK LB maybe where is needed to survive (Teraflare T13).
