Are there any DRG Limit Break Warning Advice?

[FeiyoMavklas]

I'm not sure how to word the title-sorry if it look confusing. I know how to defend against it but my problem is I tend to get paranoid because I can't tell if the jump would be from OUR team or THEIR team. Often time their LB is easy to defend against but I tend to also waste my guard when it's my ally DRG using it. This sometimes happen coincidentally when the mechanic in Cloud Nine is about to kick in I end up wasting it thinking that it's the enemy DRG using it THEN when I get kicked in the air because I wasted those 5 seconds I still end up dead because they would use guard and attack me while my HP is low. Whenever I see the indicator action skill moving around my view I automatically just use guard. Everything is happening so fast that I only can react instinctively in order to mitigate sky shatter since in less than a second my HP can drop below 40% and that drop would take me out for good. So my question is..are there any customization through character or system where I can turn the enemy's sky high whirpool tornado thing into red or a different color and keep my ally's to the original? I know about changing player name's font but I'm pretty sure when anyone is doing Sky High their name is gone so that wouldn't work. At this point other than trying to look at the map as a whole to see where my enemies are and who is doing what I see no other way. The unfortunate thing is it's actually hard to do this as well when you're focusing on the enemy's status.

Thoughts? Much appreciate it. Also I just want to say that I have a high survival rate in living through that LB because I use guard or run away as soon as I see it. I just want to play smarter if there's a way.

I know some people wanted the enemy dragoon LB to be red just like the enemy sage LB is. I'm not 100% against it but I think it would make it too obvious that it needs to be dodged so it wouldn't be as effective.

I usually just keep an eye on the enemy dragoon when their LB is full so that I am ready when it disappears.

I don't think there is anything you can do on your side to make that setting change.

I understand why some people might be against it but there other skills like samurai chiten+zan-that's even more not so obvious. You literally die just for whacking the samurai unlike the sky high which is obvious I literally have to pay extra close attention to any enemy samurai having chiten up. In CC it's a different story you can see their LB gauge but not in frontinle. I don't think you can see it..right? My UI for it is pretty small so I might not notice it if there's any.

Only piece of advice I could give is keeping an eye on whose limit break is up at the time.

I really wish they changed the colours for enemy/allied DRG LB.

I don't care about enemy LB, the problem I got is when I use LB, my own team completely dips because they don't realise it's a friendly LB and I get left alone in the middle of the enemy team with noone to follow up on me :<

Sadly, there's no setting that makes it obvious. While I understand the cons to adding a colored tell, I think the benefits would outweigh it. I hate it when my own team is running away from me or wasting guard because they can't tell, which sometimes defeats the purpose of me using the LB in the first place (to create an opening). But I saw that the 6.2 patch notes is adding a quick chat for using an LB (as well as your job name), so that would help in CC.

Otherwise, what I usually do is try to make it obvious to my own team, such as going Sky High in their line of sight or moving the markers away from my team (though this also has drawbacks like the proposed colors). Also, I hope my team is paying attention to the jump animation in the first place.

I'm 100% against making enemy DRG markers red. The DRG LB is already one of the most easily avoided LBs in PvP, it doesn't need to be more obvious.

>easily avoided

Are you sure about that? Everybody firing on each other creates the chaos of battle, so you can't see the marker. That goes for CC AND FL. I don't think I've ever seen a match of CC where the DRG LB didn't hit 3 or more people.

lol yeah..im one of them

Dood that some nice info. I'd totally be for this instead of actually changing the color of sky high to make it more "fair" for drgs who are against this but then it also depends on the player if they're NICE enough to friggin TELL US! Doing CC people still don't even communicate via shouts/calls so I doubt people would care enough or even know about it-me included. Just found this out from you. I always did find that the fact that you're able to warn you team what percent your LB is at but not IF you're using it quite annoying and inconvenient. All I can ever do was mark my target.
