Is limit break not a thing?

If anything a higher HP pool would render the caster and ranged LBs ineffective since they do less ST damage than the melee one. In fact Melee LB is the preferred LB for all content unless a Tank LB is required, or in case of the second boss of Raba the caster one to deal with adds.

that's not accurate. often times the caster one is preferred over the melee. in most levels of content..

in dungeons for example a caster lb is often more beneficial. if you take something like sohm al hards last boss a caster lb during the second "hiss" will smash the adds within a fraction of a second of them spawning. and is always a better choice than to simply use the melee one on the boss.

rabanastres adds is another example. in the older days caster lb3s could save wipes in wod as you could hit all 3 clouds with one on the last boss and prevent a wipe..

the biggest issue I think for many though is that the lbs often feel largely underwhelming to use.. when your super awesome monk, drg, nin or sam go to bust out there melee lb3 and the boss hp bar drops by pretty much 1 single percent.... your left thinking was it really worth it... I lost my jinpu and shifu buffs for that!!! wont bother next time....

Me too. Tank LB is niche but occasionally useful. DPS LB is of course almost always preferred. Healer LB 1&2 are basically only worth using if you are completely out of MP and the only person still standing is a tank. It doesn't really help newbie healers learn to care about the button, so they don't know about it when suddenly LB3 could save a wipe and be a crowning moment of awesome.

I do agree with this. I often think it'd be better if the healer lb 2 maybe even the lb1 had the ability to restore a chunk of mp as well as hp. as hp tools there never really used but as a last ditch source of some extra mp it might be more useful...
