Gunbreaker supposed to be lowest DPS job turned out to be the highest one.

[Nedkel]

There is a site with logs which is comparing people playing certain jobs to each other and giving each job performance numbers by averaging them out.

Idk am i allowed to talk about it in the forums, but i just wanted to point that one thing out.
In opposition what dps "theorists" told us, it was far away from truth and gunbreaker is not the lowest but highest dps job on all percentiles (relative people skill) with few exceptions here and there according to this site. It was a complete baloney because they predicted GNB dps to be lower by 1k comparing to other jobs...

Paladins rumours being biggest dps are also false for the most part.

However the differences are not really game breaking (hehe "breaking") itself, and SE balance department did super duper good job balancing all four!

Gunbreaker FTW

Consider it proper tuning because Camouflage.

No Mercy was buffed from 10% to 20%, and a lot of the GNB actions had their potency values boosted relative to the Media Tour version. It shouldn't be that surprising.

We're probably going to be seeing more fine tuning going into the patches leading in to Eden.

What Lyth said. And even so, the difference between the best Tank DPS wise and the worse one is like 200-300 or so, which is not really that big. And nothing that can't be changed by the two balance patch we will surely have this month leading to savage.

[DRKoftheAzure]

Yes! A job that I'm actually having fun with is the highest DPS tank!

[Videra]

You're allowed to talk about FFlogs here. It's not the devil most would make it out to be. Anyway, yes. It's nice. And I agree that it's proper tuning for being pretty squishy.

Im confused by this post.
Do you get surprised when you hit a higher level and do more dmg than before?
The current GNB isnt the same GNB we saw in the media tour.
Their 2nd DoT was a DPS loss, and not functioning correctly, and the numbers were all different.
The media tour build was roughly correct, and the current builds are roughly correct to peoples numbers.
I assume you didnt see the estimates people made after they saw the actual current potency numbers, otherwise this post makes no sense.

Okay i feel actually stupid right now, should have paid more attention to it. xD

Nethertheless GNB is highest dps now from tanks and the differences between tanks are really small which is all good.

The difference between GNB at no.1 and DRK at no .4 is less than 200 DPS so nothing really to write home about. Looking at those logs the devs have much bigger issues to deal with.

Care to elaborate?
