    Some advice on LBs in dungeons. Its actually better and saves more time to use an aoe limit break on trash mobs rather then the boss because using aoe on trash saves much more time then killing a boss 10 seconds faster.

    That's true. I like to use it in Ala Mhigo for the trash between the two laser gates or between the 1st and 2nd bosses. Another place I like to use it is the trash between the 2nd and last boss of Kugane Castle but in all cases you need a tank and healer that can handle the load of getting to the LB location.

    As a general rule of thumb - As long you blow the Limit Break before the second boss in one of the SB dungeons, you usually get enough charge back to have it full again on the last one.

    Yes you can but if the tank and/or healer need to or make smaller pulls I rather just leave it be as its not going to save any time by using it.

    the devs came out and stated this.

    lb melee hit harder due to single target. straightline and aoe hit for a bit less due to being AOE. look up the recent live letters it was brought up in one of those, or watch mondays with mrhappy he talked about it there as well repeating what the devs said.

    not really, people will not learn much if ppl lb trash mobs. How can a tank learn to survive large pulls if ppl just lb them down. Also not every group comp in df has a player who use the aoe lb.

    This...Makes no sense. "Don't do this thing that makes things easier because someone may need to learn how to do harder pulls where you may not pull that many due to lack of AoE in the first place"?
