Well I got GNB to 70 at noon

I have to say, not to bad. Very light feeling and almost feels like SAM. Mitigation is decent and the DOTs are nice.

Gun blade is kinda small tho.

What are your thoughts?

Jesus, I only just got home from work. I'm still stuck in the queue and you're already 70 lol

It looks fun, should find out for myself soon enough :)

I only just got mine to 61. The 50+ tanks in queue at the same time leads to such long wait times (20-30mins)

65 here but i had to run errands today

Just hit 66 almost 67 been really enjoying it so far, looking forward to getting Heart of Stone at 68 so I can have an on demand 15% dmg reduction for a low CD cost.

So I got to play around with it more, the reskinned SAM run is low effort, but the skills are SAM smooth, they make sense and flow nicely and you can squeeze in more dps I like it alot. It may not be as heavy as the other tanks but it definitely is unique.

To be honest.. pretty disappointed in the GNB. A lot of people said he would be fierce and fast and play more like a damage class sometimes. After testing him and the other tanks nearly every other tank was faster and more interesting. GNB has just a ton of skills (on the side nearly no color coordination in the skill icons, my hot bar never was that random looking) and nearly none of them is off the gcd. For me personaly he has a lot of skills but is still very slow. Dark Knight and Warrior felt faster and more impactful and fierce.
I wanted to main GNB after watching several videos about it.

It doesnt really "speed up" till 70 when you get continuation. Not a fan of the mechanic myself but it does make for more... button presses.

i love it
it only took me 9 hours to get it to lvl 70
HoH and all those OP dancers in there really sped up the process

i really hope it gets a simple evolution in next expansion because it really is perfect how it is now to me

If you set up your timing right and set up solid barrel to sit on it that 20 second burst window you can fit in 3 burst strikes in with you regular continuum chain, it's super tight timing but you can reliably get it

**A DPS snickers**

Yeah GNB is kinda slow (it really felw like tanking a lowbie dungeon doing just 1>2>1>2>1>2 comboes, even though there's two comboes we can do already) before getting Continuation at level 70.

The sound effects I kinda got used to after grinding to 70 in HoH (thank you to all the Dancers!) but I have difficulty recalling whether I ever heard explosions. Since I grinded 63-70 in HoH floor 21-30, I had access to continuation during all of that, so this job definitely is not giving enough memorable sound effects on its "fun part" of the rotation.

Before making any final judgment I would like to have it at 80 and been there for a while.
Still for a first impression having it at 74 right now. I love it, it feels good to play and I actually prefer that the weapon is on the smaller side.
