  • [6.08] Gunbreaker Time!!! Gunbreaker is like my third favorite tank, I enjoy the class a lot, I just think that the others are a bit better and more fun. Also this guide is a bit short but that's because Gunbreaker honestly doesn't have a lot. Hope you guys enjoy the video!

      @@zirilan3398 If you're going to adjust your glasses at people at least get your information right. SeeD members are not knights but mercenaries for hire. They are highly trained specialists that take government and civilian contracts. In FFXIV, the GNB job quests highlight this as well. Squall ended up being a SeeD commander. That still doesn't make him a knight.

    How to play Gunbreaker: Just hit your 1-2-3 and then tap your other buttons as they light up. Put all the defensive abilities in a row and if your health goes down just pick one and hit it. Maybe hit two if you're spooked. That's like it basically lmao.

      @@tamerxero stance dancing is an outdated mechanic. It used to be mandatory because you're taking damage debuff when tank stance is on; you don't, now. The only thing you need to make sure is to let your Main Tank (if you're not the main tank) cement his aggro first before you activate your stance. This means activating your tank stance after the first 10 or so seconds of the fight.

    So I installed FFXIV. I am an old school fan of the franchise and Kain's my fave character in the series, so I main dragoon. But I saw a bunch of players with gunblades and heard about the Gunbreaker and thought, 'I wanna do that...' But FFXIV is my first trinity MMO, and while weskalber did a great hour long primer on tanking, it's an hour long...
    So while this video made me go 'maybe I CAN do that!' I'm still very nervous about being the tank. Any advice you can give to help me go from 'maybe I can' to a real party-protector, decent-to-good -ish tank?

      @crimsonwizahd2358 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Personally, I'd say hold off on jumping into alt classes at least until post MSQ tbh, especially going from a Melee DPS such as Dragoon to a tank such as Gunbreaker. It's not that GNB is inherently "difficult" to understand really (there's a reason it's jokingly refered to as Three DPS in a blue trenchcoat), but it can be jarring jumping into the responsibility of a tank role at such a high level. So if you're dead set on it, I'd advise heading straight to any training dummy you can find, wailing on for a bit while you adjust and organize your hotbars, and then take it into any of the low level dungeons with either some friends/FC members, or even just randos (while being sure to warn them that you're new to tanking of course. Don't worry, people tend to be pretty chill with newbie tanks and healers)

    • @carnivorekaiju9451
      @carnivorekaiju9451 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Don't be nervous. In fact, get your practice in low level dungeons where the skills are limited anyway. Learn to pull, position, and don't save all your defensive cds for bosses. I tend to pay more attention to the healer when I tank just to gauge if they're struggling to keep me up. If it looks like a seasoned healer, I'll pull more. If they look like they're new or just trying out the class, I'll slow down and pull one pack at a time. Just have fun with it. I'm still fairly new to the game and it seems to me most people are pretty chill especially if you indicate that you're a new player or new to a class.

    Gunbreaker is good fun, but optimisation is a real struggle in savage. The main problem being that you must reach your 60s No Mercy window with exactly 3 cartridges and activate it on cooldown. It's not too bad, but there are 7 total abilities that need timing with your 30/60/90 second windows, and messing any of them up is a massive DPS loss and an embarrassment in the raid.
    Then we have warrior which is just 'Fell Cleave go brrrrr' with no worries at all about timing for nearly equivalent damage and great mitigation.
