Using Limit Break (lb) on pulls

[Kaurie]

Could've done without the entire narrative, as you clearly felt the need to precede your actions with backstory as they are perceived to be incorrect by the majority of the player base. The only reason you'd need an excuse is if you thought you did something wrong. Though, I suppose calling it an excuse as opposed to reasoning would be more appropriate, in this instance it isn't. Ultimately think of it like this: did you save more time using the Limit Break as a ranged DPS on a bunch of trash mobs, or would you have saved more time on the last boss using a melee LB2. Correct answer is probably the latter. But it's Aurum Vale, so who cares.

That's incredibly false. The damage done for the entire group was increased significantly by hitting 6 mobs at 60% potency of a single bar LB than it would be on one target with 100% potency of melee lb. To put that in perspective, it did 360% of the melee LB in damage. There are no AoE skills that bring you to 360% of your single target DPS - with perhaps the exception of a SMN. Even then, I usually cap at around 300% sustained AoE over my sustained single, and this is only at level 60 when there are things like Deathflare. The AoE wouldn't be 300% of single target at level 49.

The amount a melee LB will save a run? Maybe like 10 seconds. Using it on trash makes that more like 12 seconds. So who cares?

To put it even more perspective for you. The 2 bar melee LB does 217% of a single bar LB - so a 1 bar aoe on 6 mobs of trash > 2 bar on single.
