    Yeah I'm not talking about **** polymorph.
    Dunno how it is with others, but GNB LB disables all other buttons except the finisher, so quite often you'll find yourself rushing in, LBing, then instantly rooted so you're stuck there spinning like a beyblade while the enemy casually walks out of reach.
    Best to wait to be CC'd even before the LB so yiu get the immunity buff, or pop the finisher instantly. (But even with the immunity you can get insta imped lul)

    At least for GNB, I think they should be CC immune like they were under the effect of guard when doing their LB. If we compare it to other tank LBs, all of them also have a defensive aspect of either getting some death immunity(PLD and DRK) or CC prevention(WAR). GNB does get 25% DR but I don't think that is nearly as good, and still being able to be stunned out of it doesn't feel great. I know DNC also has that same ability, but since it's a 30 second CD and not an LB I don't think it needs that effect. However, I don't have any real knowledge of that job so I don't want to comment on too much on them specifically.

    Yes, that one is problematic. I wish they didn't grey out purify for such cases. Nobody needs it on DNC since you're not controlling your character anymore, but on GNB it's an eyesore.

    To play devil's advocate, GNB also has an insanely fast charging LB (the fastest with BLM), so it doesn't quite compare with other tanks.

    Though i'd rather have them resist CC or whatever fits the bill in exchange for an increased LB charge time if it's really warranted.
