Limit Break Caster or DPS First or Last Boss

[Claviusnex]

As a caster I will tend to use it in dungeons where the tank does a large pull as long as there is enough time to rebuild it for a melee LB on the last boss. As it is hard to get decent coordination via DF I try to tell the tank early on where the large pull would exploit the LB but it doesn't always work. If for some reason I can't use the LB I don't worry about it and just play through. For normal content LB doesn't really make much difference other than speed things up a bit between bosses.

That's only when you intentionally (and unnecessarily!) create more of a problem for yourself/your group by overpulling/multipulling, though. Yeah, you get things done faster if you pull multiple groups, but then if you burn an LB on a group of mobs, what happens if somebody screws up on the boss, you wipe at 10-15% and realize that LB2 could have finished him off if you had just saved it instead of burning it on a group of mobs right outside the boss's door? The time you saved by LBing the trash and overpulling is suddenly wasted by a wipe and rez and re-fighting the boss again.

*shrug*

I think using LB on Trash is just reckless and not needed.

The thing is with most dungeons you have plenty of time to rebuild the LB and if you don't your burning the boss down anyway and don't really need it.

It's reckless to burn something you might end up needing later?

Why use anything that you might need later, in that case?

The whole game is a constant ebb and flow of risk vs reward. Saving a limit break is rarely ever going to be the thing that saves a boss fight.

Wipes are always unpleasant and leave a sour taste in one's mouth, though.

You are simply betting on everyone being bad, and I think that is a bad point of view to have on people. Have some trusts in others eh?

Like Aurum Vale. Mage LB on all the seeds and sproutlings makes the healer's job MUCH easier than doing it without.

Does not, maybe if a combination of a healer and 2 dps not knowing how to play, maybe, but if a mage knows how to lb it is likely they know how to use rotations properly. Even with that, it is most efficient just to down them with holy spam (though I am not sure if SCH now can "solo them" with Miasma II , but then there is AST, sucks to be AST before 52 in general, why did SE do that anyway?

The situations you are trying to describe would be rare as hell, because on the one hand, if people are playing that badly, a LB is not going to save them, on the other hand if your playing with people that know the best places to use it, it is likely they know how to play well in general where it would not be needed to begin with.
