    Dev team, there needs to be a tutorial for limit break

    The amount of people i must explain where to find it or what it is, is astounding. And by the time you explain, the boss is already dead..
    I am possibly being anal about always using it, but its something the party builds up, so why let it go to waste?

    Was there ever a tutorial for it?

    On the one hand, yes, maybe the game should explain LBs. On the other hand, if you give each role a LB tutorial, some newbies--of all roles--are going to think they should be LBing at times that they shouldn't. And then some of these newbies are going to argue, "the game told me I should use it."

    LB is arguably the most context-sensitive action in the entire game, and it may be better to let players tell other players to use it because the game can't possibly teach them in all contexts how to use it correctly--and how to correctly leave it alone for someone else to use.

    The limit break is fully explained when you hover over it.

    When you first interact with a limit break, an Active Help window appears which explains it as well, including how to navigate to Actions & Traits to put it on your hotbar, with a picture.

    What it doesn't explain is when to actually use it. SE can't really tell a tank not to use their limit break ever. You also have a choice between using the melee limit break on a boss or an AoE limit break on trash and in my opinion, it doesn't matter. We are so beyond the item level of content, that things die before even reaching LB2 in the first place.

    Two, in roulette content. Against Alexander Prime, and in the Seat of Sacrifice. Only the second is mandatory for the MSQ.

    I would at least like to see potency numbers on the tooltip so casters/ranged won't be too afraid to use it on big pulls.

    This is something that might want to be included in a special tutorial dungeon. Something that's a Final Fantasy Mystic Quest themed section. Something optional for existing players. Required for new players at 30, and you get LOCKED INTO UNTIL YOU PASS IT NO MATTER WHAT if you use a skip/jump potion.

    It should also explain every single marker that might get dropped on you... (and the nonstandard ones get FIXED, please)

    Why though, its not like we have single player limit breaks....... and honestly when playing a tank you only have 1 place u would rlly use it, healer is just simple minded wait tlll no other choice but to lb 3 lol and dps well theres always atleast one other who will use it lol

    So why bother unless they add player limit break and not party based

    theres like 70% chance for you to never have the chance to use thing honestly

    The problem is that we either get yelled at for using it by melee players who wanted to use it on the boss and we "wasted" their big finisher, or we get yelled at for NOT using it because we expected to get yelled at for "wasting" it. I've gotten kicked out of parties for using an LB on a big pull before, so now I don't unless it's a double ranged group.

    Yeah, but with the numbers to cite, we can just go "ranged lb1 on 4 mobs > melee lb2 on 1 mob at 7%"
