Gunbreaker Needs buffed

[Post]

That makes a lot of sense actually. Well then I hope they could fix the bug cause i legit thought my LB was interrupted and got pissed :/ no one elses LB's can get interrupted.

Yeah, no one's limit breaks can be interrupted, but like any action in any mode of this game (even PvE), if the character initiating the action dies before the effect takes place, or the target is no longer targetable before the effect lands, the effect is averted entirely.

This is super noticeable with actions that have a long animation before the effect, from Hallowed Ground to Tornado Kick to Limit Breaks. It's extremely easy to die before you get any benefit if you use DNC's limit break improperly, but ones like RDM can be shut down before the damage and healing actually applies despite the instantaneous animation.

Even DRGs can be killed midair, "in the grave" awaiting doom from damage that's due to resolve upon them if it was sent before they' became untargetable from jumping. Timely stuns or pigs etc will also apply as they go skyward, and you can see they're still cc'd up in the air on the UI. Only difference between them and GNB is that once they're up there (and not dead from any hits that may have landed), they're safe.

Aoes even secretly hit targets in sequence, not simultaneously. So, boss enrage clears happen where the boss dies when 7/8 players get killed by the enrage. Theoretically it's possible you could have a SAM counter Zantetsuken 5 players and die after only killing 4.

Edited for clarity.

This does not work on all LBs and for those that it works on the window to successfully use Miracle of Nature varies.

While it's true that any LB will get shut down if the LB user gets killed before the effect resolution, as Reinhart said some LBs can be stun interrupted (Zantetsuken), and some can't (Spite).

The target not being targetable anymore is not a guarantee for LBs to fail, but again it depends of the LB. I've already sniped DRGs that were in the air just because Spite was used before they jumped for example.

Actually I can probably explain that Zantetsuken vs Spite comparison, for anyone reading this and being curious.

What spite actually does is just do one big attack no strings attached. It is merely animation delayed but it has otherwise no components. That's why in the current iteration you can't late guard it or imp it.

Zant is different because it consists of:
- gapcloser
- damage calculation based on Kuzushi existing
- AOE propagation (i.e. the order people are hit)
- the actual hit
in roughly that order. This is why Imp works, because you can stop it before the gapcloser as imp changes how your character interacts. Stun or Silence does not work however as they block the press of the action key, not the action.

And to go full circle, the reason neither truly stops Relentless Rush going into Terminal Trigger is because it is a channeled buff with an expiration effect like Wildfire or Death Warrant.

Hope the info is useful for some.
