Everyone
Limit Break is your friend!
You can find the action Limit Break in your “Actions & Traits” window, under “General”.
Generally speaking, Limit Break is saved for the last boss for the DPS to use when the boss hits 10% health. This changes as you get further into trials / dungeons / etc. There are unique trials that require the use of LB3 by specific roles in certain circumstances.
Death Happens
If you die in battle…
- …and are raised/revived/etc during combat: DO NOT: CAST, PERFORM AN ACTION, PERFORM A WEAPONSKILL. You have a few seconds of invulnerability. Give the healer a chance to heal you back up.
- …you will get a weakness debuff. This means your main stat (STR, DEX, INT, MIND) is reduced by 25%.
- If you die again while under the weakness effect, you get the Brink of Death debuff which reduces those stats down by 50%.
Know your interrupts!
You can find most interrupts in your “Actions & Traits” window under the section “Role”
You have to test to find out which stuns / interrupts work. General rule of thumb, is the left castbar can be stunned or interrupted, and the right may be stunable.
There are two types of cast bars, as seen below.
| Interruptable | This may be stunnable |
