Post-Hype GNB Discussion/Thoughts

[Lersayil]

GNB mitigation is a game of sustained vs burst. PLD, DRK, and so on have high percentage mitigation tools up front. GNB is more about padding it out. It's deceptively powerful, which I think a lot of newer tanks (not saying you're a new tank) are unaware of, and thus they sort of perpetuate the thought that GNB mitigation is ass.

Possibly true, but given the bursty nature of raids thats actually not a great thing. There is rarely any relevant sustained damage on the tank, with huge spikes on busters, so sustained damage reduction is also devalued.

As for my own thoughts, after the hype has passed, I think I actually dislike GNB. For optimal play you have to sync cds and resources around No Mercy, which isn't hard, but its not a style I overly enjoy.
