How Easy Is Gunblade Compared to Paladin?

It's not that bad it might get worse the higher your level I don't know the extent of your disability but you need to reliably hit about 6 buttons during a fight or flight damage window

Six buttons? I can do that. I was running a monk in ARR.

If you're interested in playing it, you should definitely try how it feels for you! The main difference between PLD and GNB to me is that the optimal GNB rotation is busier as you are often using two off cooldown abilities between your global cooldown abilities (when you're trying to optimise your DPS, which is not necessary for more casual content). Additionally, you'll have to keep track of your cartridges. Whether or not you'll find it difficult (or fun) depends on the person, so the best thing to do is to see for yourself!

You're right. The only way for me to tell if a class is a good fit is for me to dive in. *glub* *glub*

GNB is extremely fast paced and fun. The rotation is fairly static (i.e. everything is set in stone as long as you have enough sks and keep mistakes to a minimum), but it will require quite a few keybinds to use well. It has a slightly higher skill floor than the other tank jobs, in my opinion. I would definitely place it below paladin in terms of ease of use.

Oh. I keybind a lot of things. It's much easier than cursor and click. Can you recommend how my bars should be set up?
