Our Limit Break

[Toranja]

Besides using it during Beta 3, I've never used a tank's Limit Break. I have to ask, is there any boss that requires our limit break? Or a FATE?

The closest thing I've come to "needing" tank LB is Garuda SM when she LB's if there aren't enough rocks, tank LB can save the party. If there are enough rocks for ppl to live however healer LB afterwards is a better option... and if you don't need to do that DPS LB after is the best.

TBH the lvl 3 limit break, if I remember right, reduces damage taken by the group by 90% for something like 10 seconds, or maybe 5 seconds... its pretty short.
The only time I would see that truly being useful is if there is a boss who has a forced wipe mechanic. The HM Primals have "avoidable" wipe mechanics, where you burn something down fast enough, and the mechanic does reasonable damage.
Now if we had a boss... say Bahamut maybe, who at say 10%, would cast Mega Flare, and would do 30k damage to everyone, then you would use the tank lvl 3 LB to survive that... But Im not in Coil, so IDK.

In Garuda normal, sometimes people like to use Tank LB during reckoning.

The LB system isn't very good. No one wants to use the tank or healer lb because the party shouldn't need them if everyone is doing their role. The dps lb is sometimes helpful to take out adds quickly.

It's also a big pain to build up lb. If I could make a change to lb, I would just give people an lb for certain fights. Maybe for dungeon bosses, lvl 1 lb for first boss, lvl 2 for second boss, lvl 3 for final boss. Then people could do one cool move during the fight.

I've only once ever thought about needing to use it, and it's in Garuda SM, as others have said. I'll end up using it then every time, even if there are enough rocks to survive, because it's less strain on the healer to bring everyone back up from the hit when it's absorbed by mighty guard and everyone's back on their feet in no time. Has always made the run go smoothly.

I was wondering that too the use of tank limit break, I've heard people in coil asking about ways to avoid a party wipe when a boss uses a certain move, so maybe they might try tank limit break there but honestly I'm hoping for more uses of that limit break because it looks awesome.

Garuda NM is the only place I had to use LB, otherwise the healer would just die.

TBH the tank LB sucks and really should be rethought.

Change it so that it heals and cleanses the tank, grants them resistance/immunity to all damage for 10 seconds, and generates an obscene amount of enmity on all enemies within 30m. At that point, it would serve to actually augment what tanks do rather than just acting as a mediocre preventative version of what the healer LB does.

Problem is, that is a single players benifit, while all other limit breaks essentially benifit the party. The only thing i can think of besides maybe a shield on the party that absorbs 100-150% of their hp before fading, is making that 90% reduction limit, apply to -any- attack. Including titan/ifrit/garuda doing their super attack at full power.
