I have no idea... I'm a noob
Of the 4 tanks, GNB.
Its 2nd set of combos looks appealing to me, specially that its frequency is affected by SkS.
Altho out of the 4 it looks the weakest dps wise, at least its not afflicted with WARrifitis... for now.
2nd to that comes in DRK, altho DelIRium is a bit of a "ugh..." window, the job itself isn't so bad looking for me. Still, they really took the "Warrior of Darkness" theme quite literal on this job.
3rd would be WAR, I believe, cuz well, as a WAR I like Fell Cleaving the hell away, that's what WAR is all about.
4th comes in the good boy PLD. This whole expansion it will feel like BLM killing Ifrit with Fire. Not that I have anything against the job, just more interested on the others.
Most looking forward to:
Dark Knight > Gunbreaker > Paladin > Warrior
The order I'll level them:
Dark Knight > Paladin > Gunbreaker > Warrior
Dark Knight
Probably switching between GNB and PLD.
GNB due to its being fast-paced and looks fun.
PLD looking better than ever with the gap closer and the option to used between physical and magical rotation for AOE target and a cool finisher for both combos (Confiteor, Atonement)
Been maining WAR since ARR and I think it's time to try something new.
Drk.
Fell cleave in 3.0 was nice foil for defiance. Inner cleave 4.x was a little overkill. Fellest cleave and deleting the opposing defiance skills 5.x is just overkill. War is literally just memecleave as identity now. Insert upgrade, upgrade, GO BACK meme here.
Ill probably level war 1st so i have something reliable to jump into endgame as it is almost identical familiar gameplay to start farming. But drk is coming up right after and probably 60/40 going to be my new main, or just swap for fights since my co tank is going gun/pld so we can do whatever we need.


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.
Gunbreaker.
The Dark Knight rework didn't match my expectation (and it wasn't even high), and i don't like pets..even if its Fray.
