Which job are you most looking forward to...

[Kalise]

Gunbreaker.

I hate the current IR > FC > FC > FC > FC > FC burst. It feels lame and uninteresting. So of course, they copy/pasted it onto DRK for Delirium > BS > BS > BS > BS > BS

Meanwhile, PLD also keeps their Requiescat > HS > HS > HS > HS > Confiteur burst, with the new exciting addition of Confiteur to close it out instead of a 5th Holy Spirit. The innovation is real /s

Gunbreaker is actually unique, in that it's "Burst" is a secondary combo that weaves in an oGCD. Which is also on a 30s base CD. Also, is affected by SkS. So I'm looking forward to playing around with a SkS > Crit > DH Gunbreaker.

Pew pew!

(Also, I'm super let down by the recycled animations WAR is getting for Inner Chaos and Chaotic Cyclone...)

And by unique Kalise means Heavensward dark knight with its oGCDs as a combo LOL.

Is it really though? No matter how I look at what we know, it's another "press buttons when they light up" job like PLD. Every 30 seconds use Continuation combo in order, while pressing same ogcd after each step, otherwise spam the basic one with the other cartridge spender every 2nd combo or so and press cds whenever they're up. The rate at which they get their resource and the complete lack of choice of how to spend it doesn't really scream "depth" to me.

I wish I could be positive, but the SHB tanks really make it difficult... More utility is nice I guess...

Yes it is.

It's burst window rotation isn't simply CD > Big Skill x5

It's a 3 step GCD combo with an oGCD to weave in. But that only takes 3 out of 5 GCD's for a standard 10s burst window. So then you have to decide whether you want to do your normal rotation, or take advantage of any buffs and try and apply your 2 DoTs. All the while, having up to 5 other oGCD actions you want to weave in (2x Rough Divide, Blasting Zone, 2x Burst Strike (Fuelled by Bloodfest)) - All within that 10s burst window.

To say nothing about how SkS will be a great stat for GNB due to their burst combo being affected by it, which will then also desync it from rDPS CD's (Since it's base CD is 30s you'll be reducing it from that so it won't easily line up with the 60/90/120/180s rDPS CD's) as well as requiring a Cartridge to initiate (Bearing in mind, if Bloodfest is available, you'd want to use that for 2x Burst Strikes during the window, rather than to initiate the combo and only have 1 Burst Strike).

This is all a lot different than "Hurr Durr Inner Release/Delirium/Requiestcat > 5x Fell Cleave/Bloodspiller/Holy Spirit(Confiteur)" every 90/90/60s that maybe you weave in Upheaval + Onslaught/Flood of Darkness + Plunge/Intervene + Spirits Within during.

That's true, I'm just not sure if it's enough. I do hope you're right though.

To be frank, you've just described how every class works in all hotbar-based MMOs.

Personally looking forward to GNB the most due to it being "busier" than the other tanks, and FF8 themed.
