    Limit Break

    Hey guys this might sound a little weird but I want to be the best posible WHM with what I got. I am currently 36 WHM and just started doing the main quest Dungueons. To say the least some of the mobs can be tougher than they look and I had to cast my LB a couple of times and somehow it feels that the animation delay interferes with the efficiency of the spell. Is there anything I should be aware about this skill. Thanks.

    I second this. The animation at the end just takes too long. I've had a couple of tanks die because I wasn't able to heal in time. Its the same with raise. Have you tied to heal someone you just raised? you need to wait a few seconds to throw a direct heal.

    Gotta love ressing someone thats due for imminent death due to an aoe or whatnot targeting them before they can't move...

    Just wait until you get to the higher level dungeons where you raise someone and then the boss decides to throw an aoe right where the person respawned.. SO MANY TIMES D: All that MP wasted...

    On topic: Just make sure you have the correct gear and that you are casting Stoneskin before pulls at bosses and if you can before each fight for the tank. Also sometimes, it isn't your fault.. Some tanks don't have the equipment they need.

    I guess its intentional. If you look closely you will notice a buff called 'on the brink of death' or something like that appears during that 4 seconds when you cant heal and they can do anything else.

    The brink of death is a debuff for being raised. It lowers maximum hp and mp. It wears off in a few minutes, but the more you get raised consecutively, the longer it sticks around. It may also get more severe, I'm not sure.

    Limit Break for healer is best used when it is level 3, e.g. resurrect all party members and fully heal them. Lv1 & 2 is not worth unless you have a MP problem.

    ... though if you're just starting the Quest dungeons, you won't be seeing a 3rd-level Limit Break any time soon.

    The thing you should know early on is that your limit is shared with Archers. If either of you trips a limit, you get an AOE heal effect. Chances are the limit breaks are mostly going to be used by non-healers in your dungeons. If you're finding you have to LB constantly, double-check your play style. If you're tight, but still having trouble.. try befriending some good tanks on your server instead of always being at the mercy of whatever slop Duty Finder throws your way.

    Remember that the LB bar is shared in your group. Too many times people in my groups didn't know that

    True. That happens 75% of times.
