GNB main here, the opener Wesk shows at the end is the "1-2-3 No Mercy" opener, a very standard opener used by GNB for many fights - its legit! I use it for most fights in savage/ultimate content, so any new players would do well to practice it as it's actually the recommend opener to learn with. Great guide Wesk!

New player who is just picking up gnb. I appreciate the way you talk through the rotations at levels that arent just max. Great vid.

EDIT: As of 6.2, regen no longer gains aggro over time. The initial use still grabs aggro, so it still has some use when trash spawns mid-fight. Original comment below. Aurora is my favorite pulling tool. Royal Guard's enmity multiplier on the regen means you will overpower anything the Healer or DPS does before you can AOE to secure the enmity lead. Plus, it helps patch up some of the damage you take when pulling multiple groups before stopping and popping damage mitigation. It even works if a boss should spawn adds. It's one of my favorite GNB skills because it has that added utility.

Me who had no idea how to leveling so went from a dragoon straight to lv90 gunbreaker:

Man I can’t believe it’s nearly the end of the EW guide series 😔 been a heck of a journey

Always love the guides. I still always recommend them to newer players. I still watch them to improve myself. Keep it up!

I know this come out a year ago but I want to say thank you for this video I only have GNB at 61 but the way you have it setup it made learning the opener so much easier to understand and follow that I am really enjoying GNB now keep up the good work 👍

I'm so happy when you upload these. Each time I'm like: I'm gunna pick up X class/job - Wesk to the rescue with a guide, like the next day. :D

I was really waiting for this 👀 im glad to see it on my timeline

It's amazing how different one can view gunbreaker from a casual view to an optimized, savage raiding view. I've gone over my opener and melds three times over the course of Pandaemonium due to the headaches Gnashing Fang gives me since it's affected by skill speed. No other job gives me this headache because I can't think of another job where a core job skill is affected by skill speed, just mainly the main gcd roll. But it was worth learning the best gunbreaker I can be. Superbolide is much easier to pull off in EW thanks to Corundum, plus playing with Scholars in roulettes is an interesting way to use Bolide proactively when I know Excog is on. I basically learned to use Bolide proactively, when I know my healer hasn't used their big cooldowns yet. Don't have to worry about becoming the Benediction meme if I use Bolide above 50%.

oh that's a good tip! my tank hotbar setups tend to have defensive CDs spread across different modifier keys (ctrl+key, shift+key), whereas i've always kept my AoE stuff on one modifier key... now i realize that those are *both* tools used to respond to big crowds of enemies, and maybe i could stand to shuffle things around so that i'm doing less finger gymnastics

Hey look it's my main! Looking forward to seeing what Wesk thinks of my favourite class.

Love the content wesk!

Awesome I just started playing gunbreaker

I just started reading the patch notes and I initially thought the Bloodfest cooldown increase to 120s was a nerf until I realized that the new cooldown matches well with the other skills.

Hyper min max but, for the lvl 70+ openers you should be using continuations in the second ogcd slot to get ur other ogcds cds rolling faster.

This is great :D

This is the first job I’ve managed to get the level 90 rotation down, in terms of opener, filler, and reopener(not counting healers because….yeah). Feels like a good first step being…maybe slightly above middle ground for rotation complexity across all jobs

I really like this format, it makes more sense than the level by level way for sure. Good call! I just swapped to GNB for DSR (because we're masochists and want to all change roles for each clear) and I'm glad to know I'm not making any egregious errors.

The step by step process is something I greatly value in this format, only combining when absolutely imperative.

I started ff 14 as thaumaturge into a black mage but around the time I beat the first main story I started leveling marauder into warrior and really been loving tanking... I know u can have ur hands full but I feel like i can really put in work with damage reduction, barriers, healing, stunning, etc it's super fun... I almost have my black mage to lvl 60 so I might start gun breaker soon

Wicked Talon is the best melee attack in terms of animation and sound, it's just so aggressive!

GNB was my favorite tanking job in ShB and the only one I bothered to get to lvl 80 lol

In the Level 90 opener can I swap the Double Down and Sonic Break with no effect on later rotation? (and leave the rest the same). Reason being my hotbar setup and muscle memory are used to doing the sonic break first from L80

@WeskAlber

It should be fine. it should all be within the same buff window

For me gnb is the most difficult tank for me to play, because the bloodfest cooldown kinda screws with my mind, and i play on controller. Also gnashing fang combo really locks you into a strict rotation. Imo it would have been better if hypervelocity didnt exist and instead added its potency to burst strike.

I'm just putting this here, because I'm a pedantic person. The "Bow" in Bow Shock is pronounced like "Ow". As in the bow of a boat. It's a nautical/aerospace term, which is in line with the naming scheme of Gunbreaker skills.

The Personal Eye Catcher for me was the Bottom Text to "Simple and Clean" xD

Heart of Corundum is my favorite Tank skill, WAR's Bloodwhetting is a close second. I love that they are on a short 25 second cooldown and all the stuff they give you!

good video

Gotta love that ♬ Danger Zone ♫♪

Nice.

Hey Wesk, I love your vidoes please keep it up! I have one question that I really want to know the answer, do you actually need to save your cooldown/opener facing a 4 man dung boss? Like for example as SAM do you need to save your Iki/Namikiri/Meikyo or Kenki for the boss or you would actually pop all of those during the wall to wall pull to kill the mobs faster? I think I am always saving it for boss and that might slow the speed my group killing trashes which probably make Healer and Tank's life harder. If I am doing wrong please let me know because I really don't want to hold my partys back and improve my gameplay.

If i dont, an instead spend on burst strikes, it becomes impossible to get another double down.
