Why won't you limit break?

Can't stop, it'll hurt muh 1447 54^^UR41 DEE PEE ESS.

But, most people I have asked are super gun-shy on the LB because of the shockingly long animation lock. It's totally possible for a player to die from otherwise avoidable damage because they were locked in the animation.

Main reason I don't always do it. LB1 is a DPS loss for all melee except maybe ninja, LB2 breaks even due to the six second lock, and LB3 is awesome but the 10 second lock is extra brutal and I'm almost guaranteed to have to scramble to get everything back on CD, assuming I don't get targeted mid lock and die to subpar healers.

Just finished a Deltascape 2.0 as the only ranged DPS, RDM. Had a MNK and 2 SAM. Guess who used the LB3? Yup, me.

Actually, I get more infuriated at cohealers refusing to kerp it on their hotbars, especially now that we aren't grossly overgearing the endgame.

What's worse is if it get's interrupted after the cast starts, we lose any stacks of LB we had.

I don't feel like dying while having the animation go off, do 0 damage, and lose the LB. I'll use it when I can, but otherwise no. Muh deeps.

I always use it at least twice during dungeons. In fact, when a tank complained to my dps friend about using it on a trash pull I told him it was better than not using it at all.
Why do people wait until the last boss to use it when it can actually fill again if you use it early either on a boss or some trash mobs?

[Syfurion]

I played MCH for the vast majority of my time in HW, and it became ingrained in me that my LB is the lowest priority of all of them, and as a result I don't think to push it. Also the SAM LB3 is pretty underwhelming, so that doesn't exactly encourage me either.

I'll do it if I notice nobody has used it if there are no melee DPS who can make better use of it on bosses. Frankly, since it's tied to the party, I'd rather the healer use it in an emergency then use it on a mob randomly. You shouldn't be desperately trying to destroy random trash anyway when a few AoEs will get the job done.

As I healer I'll probably never use it while in a dungeon. There are faster ways to heal the party in an emergency

lol. well its useless to you, its useless to me. let the goon do what he wants with it, then.

I figure that DPS are so used to waiting for long queue times, that they accumulate a similar delay in activating the limitbreak. If the boss battle were to last 45 minutes to an hour, than I'm sure we'd see them hit the LB button eventually.

I've gotten used to slamming the LB at less than 1% as tank, just so a DPS can yell at me for wasting it as the boss death animation plays.
