Which wouldn't be a bad idea, but it just sadly doesn't pan out that way. It's just another oGCD to press, sadly.

I mean in theory I could envision a Gunbreaker that:

* Has significantly less oGCDs.
* In fact has only one, Continuation, but it applies to "most" skills.
* Has a slower GCD than other tank jobs (3.0-3.5s).
* On pressing your GCD, a small window appears like the skillcheck on repairing the generator in DBD. Press at the best spot and you get an automatic direct hit or something + press at least in the white area and you get a small shield, fail to hit either area and you just do nothing. Either way the GCD deals damage at the end of it's GCD window.

So basically we'd have a very slow and very methodical tank that in return has massive damage spike potential and steady if slow mitigation on itself.
