Ranged limit break

[Samsta]

Do we still know the potencies of ranged physical limit breaks? I read a long time ago from somewhere that they are 10% weaker than caster limit breaks, is this true? If it is true that makes no sense to me, it is far easier to hit enemies with circle aoe than line aoe imo. I think it would be cool if caster limit breaks dealth half their damage with really strong dots over 15 secs or so, would make them more balanced. If you were in a real hurry to kill something, you would use physical ranged lb over caster's lb. Currently I see no reason to use physical ranged lb over caster's.

All melee have same LB damage.
Casters and ranged share same LB damage.

Caster and ranged LB does less damage than Melee LB but it is still used quite frequently. Especially during savage.

This is not strictly true

The Ranged LB3 does slightly less damage than the Caster one

This is what I also have heard. Doesn't make sense to me. Is there any confirmed sources on this though?

I think the reasoning is something arbitrary like "The AOE is larger" when really my view is "The AOE is harder to position"

Its alot easier to miss with the Bard/MCH LB... I don't see why we have a lower DPS...

If you're in a party of tank+healer+range+caster, the best use of the limit break is on a giant trash pull because that will cut more time from the run than taking 2-4% off a boss. If for some reason you still have LB at the final boss, SMN>MCH>BRD>BLM. The MCH/BRD LB does less damage than the SMN/BLM LB, but it casts slightly faster and MCH/BRD sacrifices less normal action damage over the LB's cast and animation lock than the BLM does.

Physical range Lb is slightly weaker but it Casts faster. I remember, well a theory since im not sure it was tested, but aoe lb priority should be smn, Brd/mch, blm when there are only about 2 (maybe 3) enemies. A blm can do more damage than the damage difference with the time saved from the long cast. Even more enemies then smn, blm, brd/mch. At this point the a caster lb does much more damage than what a single blm fire4 could do

healer lb was more awesome imo
