Limit Break

[xbahax92]

Let's say, you unequip your gear in a savage fight and go full low HP. You start the countdown and put everything back on during 3s. You start the fight and the boss does raidwide AOE's multiple times. You mitigate as much as possible and keep shields up. Since everyone in the group is low life, you can basically cheese an hefty amount of Limit Break.

Now the question. Is this against ToS?

Please keep in mind, I do not advocate it. I'm simply bringing attention, since there are few video's circulating around.

It's not. It's part of the game's system and is only clever usage of it, not abuse.

They already nerfed it for 5.0+ content (duties above Lv70) by making the Limit Break gain significantly less than in previous expansions, which makes sense considering how much more reliably you can pull this off after Shadowbringers. If they truly see a problem with it, they can make HP or HP regen match maxHP outside of combat to prevent this from happening.

If they really didn't want people doing it like with the previous Ungarmax or Everkeep EX strat cheese they would've posted a notice telling people not to do it while they patch it. I do think it's likely they make a change regarding it as they tend to nerf anything related to LB gen cheese.

This was actually part of cheese groups back in Stormblood and it allowed them to gain over 3 times a LB3 worth in O8S (doorboss) for example, which became bad enough for the devs to nerf it pretty hard.

Ah the ol' Heartless Angel into Ultima with crit Adloquium shield spread, good stuff.
