How Good is Gunbreaker in Dawntrail (Opener & Rotation) | Xeno's First Impression

[@Darksora79]

5:45 “Let’s go gambling! ❌ aw dang it! ❌ aw dang it! ❌ aw dang it! ❌ aw dang it!”

[@CADPgamer]

I was about to say that this only happens thrice, but then I remembered Double Down.

[@Leon-dragneel]

I didnt crit my Lionheart combo and my Double down, so I did as per the video guide and swapped to warrior. Solved all my issues in life

[@Yokai_Yuri]

GNB still doing more damage than Warrior so you didn't solve anything

[@mlemlemmlemmlem]

​@@Yokai_Yuri big number though

[@SwoleSenjuXL]

i didnt realize the artifact gear boosted my skill speed up by A LOT. I was getting under 2.4

[@skcans]

It's fine, the devs don't balance artifact gear so they probably use AI or randomize the stats on them. The job balancing during an expac launch and the first 2 ex fights also don't indicate much as they're just testing the water. Once savage comes out you'll have more options to play at whichever GCD you want

[@kiyoshiplatinum3189]

I love the way you explain everything so quietly and calm. Good Video as always :)

[@omenlynx]

Thx Xenosys, I looked at the Pld rotation doc ,and notice gcd and ogcd situation on goring blade. It sparked an idea, on fixing my hot bars. Now everything feel smooth going thought the rotation, much appreciated.

[@gdzen4302]

I cant wait for the Dark Knight video

[@kpeezyrepda401]

Good video bro good approach and being content with your audience in giving tips and thoughts.

[@FatalFatalisFtFts]

Playing Gunbreaker for long periods of time might give you gambling addiction. User discretion is advised.

[@zasalamel123]

Forgot to put blasting zone in the rotation visual, good rotation though, thank you daddy

[@XenosysVex]

Yo thx, actually the developer switched the site to something else so I have to rebuild them all anyway. lol

[@youtousim]

These guides are getting better with each release. Thanks for the insight!

[@ZerkeroEraneor]

hello o/ My friend ( and my raid partner ), sending me your video and i trying the opener you put on your docs and i love it!! now my GNB is more aggressive! thank you so much :D ❤

[@kashay4415]

bro did the thing on the thumbnail, heeeeell yeah!

[@xscarlettb4598]

6:00 LMAO!!!! FRRRRRR

[@Kazgrel]

1 min Bloodfest would fix just about everything with GNB. Could half the potency of the Lionheart combo skills which in turn makes them less egregious when they dont crit. Everything else about the job feels so good now...ok other than losing Rough Divide. I liked that animation

[@iPlayOnSpica]

Bloodfest and Double Down not sharing the same cooldown feels really bad when literally anything at all interferes with your perfect melee rotation. Boss goes untargetable? Combat ends? Forced to Lightning Shot once... even TWICE? Your 1 min rotation broke, congrats!

[@Frostbyte115]

Bro I got a triple crit on Lion heart combo (various amounts on DH) but they varied at 108 and 120K and this was without any time pieces and right side being 90-97 pieces.. that crit difference is too much lmfao. Like crits being so swingy on top of being rng... Makes me want a 1 min Bloodfest even more. Halve the potency and make it 1 minute. Then it's not as hero tower when you crit and is a feels good.

[@naota909]

trajectory does feel slow. rough divide was crisp

[@matthewpelletier6900]

I'm mad they took Rough Divide away just when they gave us Lionheart. We almost had the complete set.

[@Gailardia1]

yeah i agree, feels like crime we could've get all of squall moveset but they took away our rough divide

[@soluslunares6682]

That's true huh

[@helldanart]

I never liked GNB that much, but i think this is the tank i gonna try now!

[@Did_No_Wrong]

I like the new GNB 100 skill, my only problem I wished using it didn't end your gnashing fang combo. It feels like it should have functioned the same way Double Down and burst strike works so that u can more easily use during the buff window and not towards the end of it.

[@ernestogarcia2188]

ty for this vid man it was really helpfull! would love to se a Melding one :)

[@cushionysleet90]

Started leveling gunbreaker because I heard it's great in dawntrail, and I've been having a great time with it :)

GUN MODE

[@FMBlackout]

Been practicing your 2.5 rotation and filler, which I assume is just as it comes off cd and in same order, and it feels really smooth with no drift in the kit at all really like 2.5 now thanks to this

[@livingforwhat2172]

if you guys do play 9gcd no mercy (2.47 or faster), make sure to use burst strike before lionheart combo so u can get the continuation inside nomercy(basically dont use it at the very end).

[@FelNaga]

I also prefer rough divide

[@confitao]

[@obamaorb7426]

The 12nm loop on 2.5 is really fun this time around, forcing 2 cart burst, then using DD before gnashing fang gives you all 8 of your wanted gcds in a 2 min window plus a hypervelocity that you frontload and you can do it like every 2 minute window no problem

[@XenosysVex]

@obamaorb7426 yea im a big fan of 2.5. I feel like they are designing more things around it.

[@theseareswayze-lesstimes]

Huh. I always thought it was Gumbreaker. Thx for the clarification.

[@Stretchnine2000]

Thanks for the video want to to get into gunbreaker looks like a fun tank class.

[@Bleachedentity]

Hello my favorite bald streamer

[@PsychoticGengar]

Asmongold disliked that

[@Itachiflameamaterasu]

Yeah the 2 min bloodfest is what fucking sucks, that lionheart combo is so satisfying to only see it every so often and having to spam the same moves for 2 minutes, still love it but they need to change that ASAP.

[@Thundawich]

The 9th GCD in even burst windows is a burst strike+continuation (If you went in with 3 cartridges), so that is actually fairly significant. In odd windows its nothing special though.

[@dasnab2231]

Heya xeems how'd you hit 2.5 with the current gearing? Lowest I can get is 2.47, and I love 2.5. I'm sure the gearing for Savage will make it easier.

[@PvtGlarb]

i do agree that it would be cooler for bloodfest to be 1 min, but given the fact, that i am a smooth brained organism, the 2 min cd helps me remember when the party's raid buffs are up

[@augmentedsoldier6676]

To be fair if they make BF 1 minute it won't really matter when those raid buffs are up when you have a 3k potency combo every minute. But I definitely agree it's better for timing

[@israellopez9766]

They seriously needed to add spells to this class because the draw effect does that it draws spells

[@Blorppio]

huh, good insight, might have to reconsider it. I hated so much with how they changed the gap closer though it just put me off from the job all together, same with DRK.

[@OMGKangelx]

They changed one ability you press 1 or 2 times and that put you off the entire class lol?😂

[@MeldinX2]

@@OMGKangelx No but in both cases the other one felt ALOT more snappy and satisfying.

[@Mrtll]

Like I don't get everyone being this upset over gap closers it's nice to have it for utility instead of damage, plus dark knight has other issues way bigger than plunge

[@Garbagevideoplatform]

​@@Mrtll The lack of a damaging gap closer would be fine if they: -Generated aggro for tanks -Didn't have animation endlag The endlag bit is especially annoying

[@gtetrakai]

I guess my big question is how are you hitting 2.5 speed? Neo Kingdom boots have sks as does the trial necklace. Are you just running lower ilvl gear in those slots?

[@retzerbil867]

Right now with ex bis you cant hit 2.5 but with savage and other gear coming you will be able to because of a wider gear selection

[@DonPedro921]

for my part i pop no mercy after solid barrel, start gnashing fang, bloodfest, yada yada yada.... at the end i can squeeze in a burst strike at the end of no mercy but in the end its experience and personal preferences, how everyone will play gunbrekaer, but the basis stays i dont mind bloodfest beeing a 2 min cooldown, but the combo should have a high crit rate at least

[@ce-xiv1334]

GNB healing BLOWS!!

[@Swimdud]

Miss Rough Divide in openers, feels a lot slower now, big sad

[@karlongkar]

60s blood fest would be the best , they can half the potency and even make it give like 1-2 less catridges. the crit gambling is sometime fun and not. would be devastating to wipe in savage or ultimate at 1 percent because you didn't crit any lion heart combo

[@smoothbrain7474]

You are bald and I’m jealous you got to meet yoshida.

[@duskshadow25]

What does him being bald have to do with anything?

[@ARCWolf7]

I predict that the LH combo breaking Gnashing Fang is going to become very problematic once Savage and the Ultimate are out...

[@broson2480]

I still wish Superbolide didn't have such a long animation.

[@ThatCasulGuy]

Although LH is fun when it crits, I hate the drift problems it introduces to the no mercy window. Would have been better imo if No Mercy gave LH Ready and GF combo then became LH with Blasting Zone Continuation hits while GF remained on your 30 second interval, but that is just my fanfic for the job....

[@augmentedsoldier6676]

As a GNB main the thought of bloodfest on a 1 minute is both HORRIFYING and appealing.

[@OfficialWaysam]

I am sure someone in the comments has pointed it out, but I don't see blasting zone in the rotation he has listed. Am I missing something?

[@buckethead5702]

@@retzerbil867 your suggestions changes gunbreaker to basically have an oGCD that allows three direct hit/crits right after using it, which is exactly what warrior has. That is not the same as samurai.

[@romanbloomfield9066]

The only difference between a 2.40-2.45 and a 2.5 is ease of use in oGCD weaving and optimization in fitting in that 9th GCD, and with a 2.5, you only need 1 set for all tanks. I’m just scared that when I reach 100 I’ll like it too much and stop playing DRK 🤣

First 60 seconds of the video: "I play on 2.5, but you can play on 2.4/2.41" like 6 times in a row, but with a different wording each time

[@furen4962]

Lionheart combo was a horrid change tbh. How are you going to make burst strike and lightning shot not break gnashing fang but then add another full combo that breaks your combo

[@XenosysVex]

Its a known bug and should be fixed its also one of the first things i tested at media tour lol

[@furen4962]

@XenosysVex oh its a bug? That's actually really nice then. My only issue is the fact that your dot is used at the end if it's a 2.46/.47 then because it just feels awkward. Running 2.5 it feels fine since it doesn't matter. If they fix the issue with lionheart breaking Gnashing I'll feel a lot better playing it. My concern is they didn't address it in the changes for classes tbh.

[@tellercruz9706]

What's the meld prio? I see a lot of the top parsers stacking DH>Det with no crit melds.

[@akkitakara]

pure DH on tanks is current BiS, crit on the ilvl 700 gear is too low to hit a crit tier that makes it outperform just stacking all the DH and Det possible. This will very likely change come 7.05 with the 710 crafted gear and most certainly will change with savage and tome 730 pieces.

[@shiryushini7321]

DH is always better at the start of an expansion, and as we get more substats on gear, crit starts having more value

[@callmez_3380]

@@shiryushini7321 Idk man I melded the pure DH melds and my runs were bad on my PLD, I went back to the crit heavy build with fruit and aloe jelly and got my pinks that way. In the end it's all rng

[@retzerbil867]

@@callmez_3380 Yes same, I don't see the DH argument either. I'm also using eggplant > veg soup since egg has more det and has crit instead of dh. If the game is about fishing for crits and a big part of my damage is crits then id rather crit slightly more often and for higher damage. I don't see how slightly higher dh's could be better since crits are so much more damage if they happen.

[@callmez_3380]

@@retzerbil867 Its a miniscule difference but use fruit and aloe jelly it's also det/crit but slightly higher

[@Nyxesgaming]

What is this cursed rotation and where is blasting zone? I go keen edge, no mercy, bloodfest, gnashing fang, savage claw, bow shock, sonic break, blasting zone, wicked talon, juguar rip, double down and lion heart combo. Would love feedback but this rotation is just comfy for me.

[@amethonys2798]

The crit RNG is actually so obnoxious especially on pull where you now suddenly have to manage tank stances where no other tank combination really does. Is it hard to toggle stance? No, absolutely not, but it ONLY needs to be done with GNB present since something like PLD+WAR that PLD is never ripping no matter what.

[@retzerbil867]

Now when you dont have to spam gap closers I usually just weave my stance where i wouldve been spamming rough divide in endwalker. Gives mt a great lead. So somewhere around when you do your double down or after any beast. Either way if we get a fight like p11s again where you either need to start with stance on or turn it on during the opener i think gnb will be fine.
