Why won't you limit break?

[PharisHanasaki]

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?

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

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.

what i have learned from experience and common etiquette is this:

1. melee should always have first dibs because their LB is a single target attack that hits for high damage therefore most useful on a boss to cut their hp or finish them off. but in certain conditions it can also be used to help get through a special mechanic such as a meteor or enrage cast.

2. for range/caster dps you should only be using your LB if the tank pulls big and asks you to use it. or in some circumstances where the other dps happens to be dead an the boss has reached that 10% hp status or if the other dps is also a range/caster and doesn't execute it in that window. caster/range limit break is weaker than the melee LB because it is an AoE and that means its damage is spread out across Adds dealing considerably less damage if used on a boss or special mechanic.

3. Healer limit break is a last resort and essentially a mass res/raise that buffs the party when used, it should not be abused on trash pulls or dungeon bosses. it is hugely beneficial to have on standby in raids in case your party wipes and you as a healer are there alone and have LB3 prepped. as for LB1 and 2 its just a buff nothing so grand just like any other buff you can grant the party but with more kick to it.

4.tanks this may sound harsh but they really shouldn't be the 1 to use limit break at all their LB is just a massive defensive buff that lowers damage received, the only instance it could be used is if every party member is incapacitated and the boss is killable by the tanks dps for however long the buff lasts for. aside from that i've seen tanks LB3 used in special instances where a raid boss uses their ultimate attack for critical damage thus the buff gained from it sustains the party from facing a potential wipe.

i've seen some here reply about the gauges regeneration and have to say you are wrong, or haven't studied the changes they made to LB which states that gauge fills slower now than it previously had. so no you shouldn't be using it at your leisure but consider when it would be most beneficially used for your party and progression through a dungeon/raid/trail.

Oh, if you had any idea how much I want to, sometimes. But I've seen others do it, and on occation by mistake myself, and every time: "ooy! Why did you use LB?! >: ((("
One learns from experience. -_-

Because I'm a healer main and the times I've actually been on my DPS classes and been the one who needed to LB were so insignificantly small that it simply doesn't register in my mind as a possible action. I've been getting better at it recently but it's still a very hard habit to break when for months the LB button is usually reserved in my mind for saving the party.

I was person use LB for kill last boss

But, rare I see in duty roulette as low levels. BLM/BRD/MCH use LB as aoe for kill faster from huge pulls...
Before I asked "save for last boss?" They ignored it
