Gunbreaker: thoughts and suggestions

Imho Superbolide > Holmgang

You dont take any damage when you have it ON while with holmgang you do.
I found myself using it a lot of times, it just takes some awareness and skill to use in exact time. I use it often in dungeons on wall to wall pulls, when a healer is too far away from me to heal me of.

I like the job but it lacks a stronger sound, it doesn't feel like a gun-breaker, it sounds like he breaks nothing... very bad sound design :(

Agree, especially Gnashing combo and Burst Strike sound effect need to sound more impactful.

I'd rather keep Sonic Break on the GCD. I found a rotation that worked well for me, and going from Sonic Break into Bow Shock felt fine. Having to, instead, remember to weave Sonic Break inbetween GCDs would just make it weird at this point.

Camouflage by itself isn't very good, but it has the same cooldown and duration as Rampart. Since no other tank has an equivalent to Camo, it's essentially an extra cool down. I always pair Camo+rampart in dungeon pulls at it equates to 28% damage reduction + chance to Parry. So in a big pull I use rampart + camo, then nebula after.

If there are still a lot of mobs by the time I'd use nebula, I pair it with Arms length, anti-pushback isnt really needed for dungeons and it inflicts a slow effect for 15s which helps reduce incoming damage even more.

Superbolide's biggest problem is that half the time it'll just bug out and instantly kill you. I'd be much more lenient about its gimmick if it actually worked.

lol, I'm not only one whose found themselves using Arms Length as a defensive cooldown then.

just make Camouflage a 100% parry rate (which is 15% physical damage reduction) + 10% damage reduction for 15 sec instead of 20 sec with the same cooldown of 90 sec.


Aurora can be improved by having 400 potency instead of 200 for 15 sec instead of 18 sec at higher cooldown of 90 sec instead of 60 sec.

While weaker than those skills... aint that what Heart of Stone operates as?

Yeah, roughly.

Heart of Stone is your equivalent to the Blackest Night.

Heart of Light is your equivalent to Shake it off and Passage of Arms.
