For what it's worth, after watching, I found that it was easier to follow the rotations with you clicking on each ability as it shows that you're going to press next. Everyone's bar is different so I found it much better to follow along also because when you hover a skill it says the name/gives a description

EXCELENT BIRTHDAY TOUR MY LEAGE

omg finally, i'm gonna cry! media tour stuff!!!!

I feel like with the action continuations on one button charges they need to reorganize the job actions menu to show the action tree.

with you on the crit vs non crit thing, we already had a problem with that in Double Down, about 30k non crit vs about 75k direct crit, it feels so bad when your big hitting cooldown fails to crit.

enjoying all the content, hope to catch a stream one day!

Dumping 3 burst strikes before 2min no mercy and back loading gnashing fang should have better damage profile. 2min window should look like this: No Mercy > Sonic > DD > Lionheart combo > Gnashing combo. For odd windows No Mercy > Sonic > DD > 123 > gnashing. This also means we can enter odd minute window at 2 cart instead of usual 3 because we will obtain necessary cart within it.

Why do Lionheart Before Gnashing? Isn’t the idea to get gnashing on cooldown as soon as possible to maximize the uses in a fight? The lionheart combo doesn’t have the same concern because bloodfest goes on cooldown as soon as you use it to get cartridges

@gasparguruoftime5475

Don't you wanna use Gnashing before Lionheart so the cooldown gets rolling? You can put the Lionheart combo anywhere as long as it's under No Mercy and raid buffs. This is even moreso the case now that all raid buffs are being standardized to 20 seconds.

Mr Happy had an interview with YoshiP where he asked if they take into account Black Mage losing their uptime for "down for the count" mechanics, and it seems that they do in fact balance around this So I would assume the same for GNB and cartridges

i would love for the Lion Heart combo to be 1 minute and much lower potency with auto crit -- maybe crit and direct hit. that sounds so much more fun!

Continuation on a solid barrel could be a defensive continuation. it'd be super cool.

I agree with Xenos on shorter cooldowns! I hope the devs will listen to what Xenos suggest. Too many “waiting” in combat is not funny IMO.

Bloodfest at 1 minute is a fine idea, it might even be combined with no mercy, and allow either free use of double down and gnashing fang for the duration or your meter expands to 6 cartridges like a revolver, filling 3 and to not lose it - use it.

I think them closing the job action vid with GNB's lionheart was intentional. The sound design in particular for GNB has always been super meaty, and they evidently wanted to take it up a notch.

i really do hope the gap closures are more of a visual thing then a time difference. its gonna be really hard to break that muscle memory of dodging tight AoE's/Greeding with it

16:22 You can still get the hypervelocity continuation in at 9 GCD Skill speed No mercy. Just use burst strike before the Lion Heart combo and that way with Lion Heart as the last hit since it has no continuation tied to it you fit it all in. So maybe Gnashing fang combo with Sonic and Double down (5 GCD's), Burst strike right after (6 GCD's) Then use the last 3 for Lionheart to make 9.

It doesn't have Continuation! You can actually weave in your mits/pull the boss during burst windows with it, which is one big complaint me and my friends had about EW GNB.

Stance like cartridge regeneration would be an issue, what they really can do to fix passive downtime and cartridge management - give us 5s gcd that would recharge one cartridge for use. That'll be great, hope they'll realize that option sooner or later.

Never understood why people like guaranteed crits (outside of optimization). I always felt that ability with guaranteed crit feels like an ability that can't crit at all, missing that dopamine hit when Big Buttons does Big Number I do think crit and direct hit as a mechanic don't make much sense as they are now, but making everything crit feels lame to me

@gasparguruoftime5475

11 күн бұрын

Well, that's why people don't like Crit and DH currently; it adds way too much RNG that you just can't do much about other than hope it happens, and Crit is so busted that it makes a big difference for your damage. That's why in the video he said he wants to raise the floor and lower the ceiling on that damage. For me, I like the big number from Crit, but I like that number whether it's a guaranteed Crit or not; the RNG of it plays no factor into my dopamine hit. If anything, them adding so much guaranteed Crit to stuff is almost like them admitting the issue.

5:06 Chills

EXCELLENT VIDEO MY LIEGE

4:36 felt with the double down not criting lmfao

The fact that gunbreaker potencies are so high is why they are cool. When you hit that massive hit it feels great. This is from a non-raider perspective.

I like to think of the bloodfest LH combo as giving you 6 cartridges. Like how some of the other jobs their "reload" button just lets them do their gauge stuff for free rather than actually fill it like machinest's barrel stabalizer.. gunbreaker does both.. it both gives you carts and discounts the carts you'd spend in that burst phase. And in theory crafting, i think it's trying to address a few concerns. 1 of which is countered by it breaking your gnashing fang combo. i really hope that gets changed because what the lionheart gcd's do is give you back weave slots that would've been used on hypervelocity. You now have those ocgd windows back for defensives if needed... buuut it breaking combos i feel nonbos this point. The other thing it does is give you back something different to do during your off phases, if for example you do have great uptime between minutes 2-3 of a fight then you **will** go into your reopener with a full suite of 3 carts which will be spent on gnashing + doubledown and then get those bloodfest carts coming out of it.. this kinda forces you down the line to hit some burst strikes during your filler to stop overcapping.. and it also means that so long as you stay alive, it'll be much easier to have 3 carts ready for your next burst without bloodfest. The lionheart combo might not come up every minute, but the carts it saves you on will be relevant a minute later.

It's nice having someone knowledgeable and entertaining. Good breakdowns.

So question, did they replace rough divide with the new gap closer?

So I'm slightly interested in GNB but never really played it. What I think I grasped from what you said is that right now in EW, you go into your burst with 3 (non-Bloodfest) cartridges, burn them on Gnashing and DD, then use Bloodfest so you can Burst Strike three times to get the most possible potency under No Mercy (and all other 20s buffs). But now you can instead burn your cartridges just before burst, and go into burst with Bloodfest cuz those three Burst Strikes are now replaced by the Lionheart combo, so the Burst Strikes won't be under buffs no matter what so might as well burn them just before. That sound about right?

Isn't the dmg variation the reason why they changed midare?

It might've been too "on the nose" but I wish they just called it Renzokuken

I don't think I've actually had a problem with Cartridges... I just keep up a combo constantly refreshing cartridges.

Happy birthday ❤️ I've been waiting for the day GNB can come back to the spotlight. It's always been clunky, never did as well as WAR, but I love it. PLD got their glow up in Endwalker, so maybe it's our time?

Minor nitpick, Bow in "Bow Shock" is pronounced the same was as Bow of a ship (rhymes with wow).

Okay fine… you got me with that subscribe thing 😂

i agree on the floating thing. def look better on the ground. one of the things i do when playing Gunbreaker is find moments to jump during attacks to give them more air time when they jump in the animation. Like I jump before doing Burst Strike and....the 3rd attack in the regular combo I jump in between the 2nd and 3rd hit giving the 3rd jumping strike a larger jump....that's how i play lol.

Pog Gunbreaker be cookin'

The fact that any new downtime fights wont be nearly as punishing on GNB burst is awesome. You can theoretically go into your 2 min burst with 0, 1, or 3 shells and be fine. DSR made me hate GNB so I hope this fixes things

It's heartening to see someone else say what I've been thinking for better part of EW, specifically with GNB; skills that have you hitting a target or give you a resource to hit a target should be on 60 second cd instead of 120. SAM got that treatment with Senei and Guren. Really wish GNB (and DRK) got that with their 2 min cds. Things like Embolden, Litany, stuff that just buffs stats/damage can be left on 2 min window. I'm like Xeno; the buttons that hit the boss are the ones I want to hit more often.

Yay. Gunbreaker rant

If your healers are having trouble and you need to pop Superbolide and are still at 1hp when the cooldown ends, hitting Great Nebula could be a real life saver.

I wish they kept the current gap closer and just removed the damage from it

Hey man I like and fallowed but I need a dummy guide for tanking, I want to master this class but over all gunbraker.

Excellent work my Liege 05:06 diesfromcringe

the character flying in the air when they do the lion's heart combo is weird

I'm not a tank main anymore, but GNB is my favorite tank job. This is what I was waiting to see.

I totally agree with bloodfest being 60sec. I mean double down is 1200 pot and is 60 sec. So yeah low lion heart pot. Give 60sec will fix most issues but still looking forward to playing GNB.

YoshiP will create a separate button where you must click as your attack hits like Squall so it can critDH. 😂

Bad example with 30k vs 90k hits, mr strummer. Crit direct hits are around 2x damage not 3x.

Tbh I'm fine with optimizations like downtime and AoE cartridge generation, gives me something extra to think about for a role that is already easy. More punishing, but that's my style

as a PLD main I agree GNB should also become a 1min job, makes it easier to manage

Seems to me they dont want the blue dps to compete with the red dps. Would probably explain the long cooldown since its a "tank".

Is this a vod?

i've never had to AOE combo to get cartridges, at least in savage :O but with that being said, although i clear a lot of savages, i do get burnt out of the game and i've never completed all the 12 steps of an expansion unfortunately. Otherwise i'm still excited despite the issues about GNB, still my favourite job :)

There are very few savage fights that you can optimize with aoe combo, but you have to do it in every ultimate. A reload button that works like meditade would be a godsend.

Have to agree the floating around looks bad, it seems super awkward and out of place, save that shit for DRG. Really don't like the change to rough divide. It was absolutely fine before.

the potency issue is literally how I felt about samurai during stormblood. damn be your wet pool noodle when your midare didn't crit and hit for 10k, then the samurai next to your crits and they're during quadruple that. felt horrendous

MAGNIFICENT THUMBNAIL FACE MY LIEGE

I love gunbreaker, and i agree with the too much dps in one spot route they are taking, did an extremely rough calc based on my own personal damage rolls in athena from dbd in bis 2.5, based on the extreme high of it (98k crit/direct), lionheart if it rolls like that for all would do 32k dps or 245k damage, with a high dbd would end up being 34k dps or 343k damage over 10 seconds, on the low end lionheart pulls 12k dps basded on my low 36k damage rolls. I could be entirely misguided in my math here so correct me if i did order of operations wrong, but i dont like my entire dps output being based on 4 rolls every 2 minutes essentially, i like gnbs 30 second gnash with a 1 min burst of pump (Clarification edit: all calcs are based on a party buffed 2 minute with a grade 8 hq strength pot, so take it with a geain of salt)

they should convert gnashing fang into lion heart whenever u use bloodfest

Same rant pepeW : Media Tour Edition

I like having the 1 minute burst be different from the 2 minute burst. If I wanted to do the exact same fcking thing every 1 minute I’d play some dumber job

I don't care if Gunbreakers a hot mess I'll still play it forever as it fits my Sci fi Aesthetic like no other tank could.

i'm still kinda salty that PLD/WAR didn't get their damage removed from the gap closers, honestly, why didn't they just remove the damage portion, the animations were fine.

you know.. that Direct Hit Stuff really grinds my gears as Samurai since they could just changed Kaiten to do do Direct Hit and it would be fixed but NooooOOOooo here spam Shinten...

@gasparguruoftime5475

11 күн бұрын

I think the neat thing about bursting every one minute is that it naturally makes the game more challenging since now with more consistent damage, you're losing a lot more if you miss damage while doing mechanics, meaning that hitting your rotation during mechanics is a lot more satisfying. I feel like more consistent damage and less focus on burst would make encounters more engaging because of this. Also it wouldn't water them down; they'd still be bringing value over the course of an entire fight. It's all about perception I guess, but as a DRK main I desperately want more to do outside of the 2-min burst, but that's what the game is designed around right now unfortunately.

You don’t like the Lion Heart combo breaking your gnashing gang combo but I love that because starting gnashing fang and NOT finishing it immediately is one of the stupidest things about how GNB is played optimally Atm. Every GCD should break the combo imo. Stop this dumb “oh we’re just gonna start it to get it on cooldown” bullsht

If bloodfest is 1 min then what's the point of the filler combo? Like burst strike would just be filler forever now?

I mean, it's already basically filler forever with these changes cuz you're not gonna get three Burst Strikes in the 1 minute No Mercy window. At best you'll get...one I think, right? Unless I'm missing something about your point.

so the job cycles back and forth between stockpiling to vomit everything up at 60s like every other job. and who the eff cares the entire burst window is on one button?? that sounds really weird to play... i guess having long stretches of freestyle time that doesn't really lead up to anything is somewhat forgiving at least
