Using Limit Break (lb) on pulls

[LegoTechnic]

There are a few HP sponges in dungeons between bosses that can soak a melee LB. Malboros, iron giants, treants -- big mobs, basically. It's really a matter of timing. Depending on your PT's DPS output, the LB may not charge until a boss fight anyway.

Any time there are two or more mobs that can be hit by a limit break, and assuming none of them are so critically weak that the lb damage is wasted, then a BRD/MCH limit or a caster LB will do more total damage than a melee using a single-target LB on a single enemy. If you're LB'ing trash, there is no reason not to use an AoE limit unless you tank is literally single-pulling stuff like a goof.

Though if you're burning the meter because you have no caster/range in party, or said player isn't bothering, then please carry on, my good man. If it will be back for last boss then by all means burn them quicker.

I would rather see a AOE lb used on a big trash pull over a boss with 5% health one thousand times out of one thousand.

The amount of times I have seen some derp lb at 1% just because...

its a bit offtopic but i wonder why since HW... there are so many people who use LB2+ on raid bosses as well not letting the 3rd bar fill up... not to mention they waste it without any upcoming reason i can think off... well but thats maybe just me - any ideas?

For what content are you talking about? I've seen this in Void Ark, because the bars will be reset by next boss, so may as well use 2x bar instead of 0x bar. For Savage content, LB's are often planned with your static to work in the most efficient manner.

Story Time

Totally agree! The whole time I was leveling my Blk for pvp usage, it would drive me bonkers seeing that LB gauge full and unused when it could be and begin filling up again. If it wasn't used on the first boss, I'd use it on the next big pull to melt the pack. Only time I wouldn't is the last two packs or so to have the 2 bar lb for the final boss.
