Characters with Shadow Partner type skills generally have skills that hit 7 times or less due to the cap, and they reduce the number of hits for certain skills, like Four Seasons/Death Star for NLs and that whale skill for TBs to 7, while increasing the damage per hit, because the cap limits them.
Ok that makes sense. I wasn't aware of the origins of the 15-hit cap... that's a long time ago.
Regardless, the gauge-increase basically makes no difference to GMS Lumis (not unless you keep dying...?). That was my initial rage, on top of the (mistaken)15-cast nerf to Lumis.
edit: if there's a need, I can recalculate some choice jobs and their bossing DPS, to check against Joe's calculations (not that I doubt his numbers). Just prod me.
