    LB damage

    In a recent T8 run, someone was very insistent that the MNK was the one LBing instead of the DRG because MNK's LB do more damage. Said person was neither MNK nor DRG.

    I'm fairly sure LBs hit for the same no matter your class, DRG is same as MNK, BLM is same as SMN.

    Which of us is right?

    Lb is very simple. Monk/DRG both use the same. DMG is based off combined weapon DMG and then spun into a formula that has nothing to do with whoever is attacking. I theory if it was based off who hit the hardest per attack and not dot, DRG would still win.

    Furthermore you'd want your lowest DPS melee/caster to use LB so the stronger one(s) can continue to maintain their DPS.

    Further-furthermore, LB2/LB3 will generally almost always take long enough that it breaks MNK's GL. So tell the DRG to do it instead of Full Thrust combo in their rotation.

    For the same reason if SMN and BLM are together, SMN should be the one to caster LB. If BLM must do it, try to do it after Swiftflare>Transpose or after Blizz3.

    It's just like BRD/SCH/WHM all do the same effect and amount of heal, tanks LB mitigates the same.
