[Lost Ark] 1625 Blue Gunlancer DPS test

[@TugaPowah]

Hi! Is this with the class changes alrdy? Because I see ur mana bar doesnt move much, I can't do that in EUC even with 2 focus runes.

[@sagathecious]

Without support or food you will run out mana in trixion. I used unlimited mana at this time but you can check it out in real fight i never ran out mana. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpWakod9h9yVf6csi=w9S5mSXDufRIlzZQ

@@sagathecious Thank you for the quick response! Good job mate. I am a Blue GL main myself and appreciate the content.

[@petergonzalez9943]

Do you feel this is the best spec/rotation for Blue GL now especially with the upcoming balance patch changes?

[@sagathecious]

Ya this does good damage and in real raid your mana stay up better

sacrifices a lot of utility for bottom dps anyway i think this build is a meme and it's only the meta because it has the highest dps because koreans are dps andies the dps is still very low a +21 weapon reaper at 1630 in kr does 33m dps in trixion lets say this guy gets elixirs at the omega wtf rng and gets 30% he is still at 20~% weaker than an average built creature i would suggest to not drop nela and focus on being useful instead of trying to compete for dps as you'll only outdps people who are bad

@@MostWantedWannaBE I tend to agree non-nella GL builds are memes but apparantly his static still wants him in Akkan HM :D (they seemed to overgear it quite a lot so they don't really need the DR and they apparantly have other cleansers...) . I don't think any gunlancer should ever be able to compete with a reapers damageceiling though, there is a huge difference between being able to facetank a lot of stuff and being squishy AF. My 1581 GL main was outdamaged by a 1550 reaper in Brel HM3 this past week and I'm not even salty about it. I've noticed on my own chars that GL tends to need 30-50 higher iLvl to be able to compete in trixion and I think that's fair given how easy and versatile they are. I love being able to battlefield shield and use my awakening to turn avoidance patterns into dpswindows... about the only 2 things I wish to improve my QoL as a GL is first of all the upcoming balancepatch and also more presets so I can add my pvpbuild to the list of 3 blue builds, 1 red build and 1 princessmaker I rotate through already.

@@Flakzor123 thats what i mean sacrificing your utility to deal a bit more damage when your damage has never been the reason you are taken into a party is such a bad decision i have a 1620 gunlancer with 21 weapon 1600s with brel weapon outdps me and then there are 1620s that i outdps i have goblin friends that i can't even compete with no matter if i play perfectly and get good runs the dps gap is just too high i go full goblin mode on dps only when it literally doesn't matter what i do but if i'm to prog something where we are on ilvl and we don't understand the mechanics i'm going to maximize my utility but for that hallu just doesn't work when hando (kr blue gl whale) was progging thaemine he got to g3 on hm and then started getting omega buttfucked he changed to nightmare and got a swift neck for more utility but then his build was so dysfunctional due to kb so on g3 he just swapped to red lancer hallu has too many issues and i think dropping nella is by far the worst thing i've seen from gunlancers at that point might as well just main swap and delete the gunlancer

@@MostWantedWannaBE as I said I would normally agree but in his case it makes sense though for several reasons 1) his party apparantly doesn't need nella, 2) dash upper fire is essential for counters, 3) retaining both nella + DUF and holding them for the right moment makes adrenaline uptime a pain in the butt (+ requires chaining yourself to quickprep+lowshock tripods on leap attack). And finally 4) it's not like nella is the only utility the build provides. The awakening as well as blue GL's ability to battlefield shield is IMO more impactful but most lobbies won't see those skills put to effective use.
