Is limit break not a thing?

[Rhus]

Thinking about this I didn't realise how much I think about the limit button in a dungeon. I use it but only ever sparingly. Normally BLM so it's aoe,I used it once on a big pull and got moaned at for wasting the LB. now if I do that it's only ever at the request of the tank or healer.
As far as boss battles go I'll generally use it on the opening boss if it is full by then, though this isn't always the case.
On the final boss I'll always wait till t is about 15% hours, if there is Melee in the group I give them an extra 1-2% to see if they do it as I have this feeling melee does more dmg than my aoe? If they don't bite then I activate around 13%.
Dungeons like bardem or sohm al I just activate at the wing phase no questions asked.
Sometimes though you just have a good group and you all get into the swing of it and don't even realise you need it. Like a freight train we just plough through everything and before you know it you're on the final boss with it at 6% hp and there is no point, by time the animation and charge is over it'll be dead anyway. I just look a fool haha

Against a big trash pull a caster limit break is basically the best damage output in the game. If you dont know a dungeon(or have a tank that makes erratic pulls) dont worry about it too much, but try to keep an eye out for those times when it can be used effectively. A one bar caster limit is roughly equal to 4-5 flares worth of damage on every mob in the aoe(and limits dont degrade over distance, so its primary target flare x 4-5 damage to everyone). That much damage all at once can shorten a pull significantly, turn a dangerous(wipe?) pull into a snooze, and it feels really good too(i used to love getting the wall in roulettes and blowing up all the mobs from those last 4 groups in that big last super pull at the end). So in other words, dont let that one group moaning at you put you off the idea that your LB can be a useful tool. It totally is.

It totally is.

This was my thoughts too. I guess some players are just really precious about the lb being used outside the final boss.
