Gunbreaker starting level

[linay]

I assumed you would already have needed a tank at level 60+ to unlock Gunbreaker. But I am new to the game and don't know how they handle new classes/DLC.

It's any job, does not have to be a tank. (It may not even require a job and could be done with a class.)

It's literally no different to handing healer/tank mains a level 50 dps in Stormblood, or the 3 jobs at 30 in Heavensward.

Personally I'd rather not have to slog through 20 levels to be able to play a new job in the new expansion. It was bad enough when I did it with Astrologian when Heavensward launched.

Eh a little differnt counting the in hw they start at 30 thats a good learning point....

In stormblood it didn't matter because any brain dead person can play a dps perfectly

I don't do any instances with my tanks for that reason because I suck. I know it so not going to waste other peoples time. There are many others that need to know this too.

I hope they atleast lock them in stormblood zone

I think it's tentatively set to be unlocked in Gridania.

I hope it starts at level 1. Then once get it to max level you will know how to play the class. Level 50 just to high of level to start class out as. It's much funnier leveling new class from level 1.

That's not true in the slightest. I know several people who started their class at level 1 and are now 70 and are really bad still. Conversely, I know a lot of people who started at 50 or 60 (RDM/SAM or level skip) and can play their job quite well.

It has nothing to do with what level you start at. It has EVERYTHING to do with whether you put in the effort to actually read and comprehend your skills and try to find the best combinations/rotations. People who put in the effort could start a class at max level and quite quickly be very good with it. In fact, you don't get your full skillset until max level, which is often when gameplay significantly changes and you end up having to "relearn" the job anyway.

oes SE make this new job for newcomers or for people already playing the game, which are familiar with all basics around this game?

You'll have to have a class at 60 to unlock the ShB classes, so not new players.

Well story skip and job leveler exists on the MogStation so technically you could still be a new player.

I don't see an issue. 1-50 doesn't teach you how to play a class. Your rotation, tools, and your class's identity doesn't come into its own till 60 anyway. So someone grunting through 50 levels isn't neccessarily going to be better than someone who doesn't. 60-70 is easily enough time and effort to teach someone how to tank. Its easy, throw your shield, axe, bubble or shoot at a target, AOE the group, and then just stay out of patches on the ground. There's the basics for tanking. Everything else is dungeon specific. And FATE grinding or level rouletting 50 levels doesn't help you with Nabriales, Nidhogg, or Shinryu anyway. Just gotta jump in and get your feet wet.

That could be just as easily a PLD, WAR, or DRK.

We all want DPS to have less queues with more tanks. Available, this is how its done.
