Gunbreaker is based, btw. Really like playing it in pvp

GNB is crazy fun. I just wish junction worked differently.

Same as the stun : 2s, not worth a note as it’s a gcd.
That’s why I mentioned root/snare (proper ones), as it’s sorely lacking with a melee job that has its main abilities have casts.

I main GNB in PvE but sadly in PvP it’s just not game changing compared to the other tanks. You have a choice to either do decent damage but be weak or do wet noodle damage and be very tough (not as paladin but still decent to hold a point on your own for a bit or prevent captures in Frontline).

I just went with Warrior in the end for PvP (I just play frontlines these days). The utility with the AoE stun that also works as gap closer, the grip/pull… it just doesn’t compare. GNB has one of the worst LBs as it can be completely denied with a simple stun or well placed cc. Wish they improved it.

Compare to monk, ninja or dragoon, and it is indeed not very good.

If you have to play a melee go with one of the three above or play Warrior/DRK. They have really good utility and if you play your cards well you can feel your contributions to the team.

Honestly, monk and dragoon are amazing for CC, ninja is.... okay tbf

Everyone's stuns are only 2-3 seconds. It's fine the way it is. Should it be off the global? Probably, but it's still fine. The only thing I would change is adjust their cast times or just remove them.

Oh yeah, GNB was alot of fun in ranked when i somehow managed to 3 shot people.

I still think the skill ceiling is too high for SAM. It really needs to be a bit more accessible, but if you ever see an actual good SAM, you will never again say that it's weak outside of its LB. They are a scary bunch when they know how to combo and time things correctly.
