Is limit break not a thing?

[Tint]

i play on PS4 and have the LB button on my hotbar, and i am a tank who basically never uses LB, so space shouldn't be a problem...

in the rare case i play a DD i often simply forget about the LB, because i am absolutely not used to use it. but i try to improve. and also use it between 1st and 2nd boss, but mostly i play melee when i am on DD, so that's not my turn i guess... but i have used melee LB on trashmobs with a lot of life, like the first trashmob after the first boss in the lvl 67 dungeon.

i think because the LB is a shared ressource, people are worried to use it (and i have seen people got called out because the party wanted to save it for the healer or a specific mechanic).

when i see people using the LB then usually at the last 3% of the last boss and until the LB cast is over, the boss is basically already dead, so the LB is wasted. so please use LB at 15-10%, okay? ^.^/

When I'm on a DPS job I notice that...

73.2% of the time I manage to win the 'limit break race' - which IMO means the other DPS isn't even looking for it.

11.7% of the time the tank kites the boss OUT of my limit break and I'm like... dude... where you going with that?

8.3% of the time the tank limit breaks because lolwut...

1.2% of the time the healer LBs because... yeah... why not?

5.6% of the time the boss goes down before I can LB and I'm like... oops...

When I'm on a healer... you can take that 73.2%, cut it to about 40.6%, cut that 1.2% for healer down to a statistical 'once ever in susano when I suddenly found everyone else was dead'...

And bump "nobody LBs" up to 39.4%...



When I'm on a tank... cut that tank LB down to another one when I was like "oooo... not that keybind... ya'll weren't looking at that right?"


I have had countless runs though... where it is down to the wire, one person is alive, the boss is at 0.123% of health... and the triple LB is up... and the living person is either the healer or a DPS... and the entire group is shouting LB into chat...

and nothing happens... even as we wait for upwards of 2 minutes of that guy kiting around and not doing any meaningful damage... even as we watch a boss pause to line up some slow cast that takes 57-times longer than the LB...
