Gunbreaker starting level

[CorbinDallas]

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.

As someone that has leveled all 3 tanks I appreciate the higher starting level. That's less gear I have to get. The fact that it starts at level 60 isn't an issue. Bad players come in red, blue, and green so it's not like a bad new tank will be an issue. If anything I think it's a good thing since folks that have never tanked will be able to start with a decent kit right out the bat. It's like giving folks a jump option for free. Yes, a lot of folks are gonna have whiplash and won't know what they're doing. Most will give it up, tanks aren't the most popular class and very few folks kept up with Dark Knight when it came out. We'll just have a new group of folks trying out tanking. A lot of them will be bad at it. Most of them will drop it. It will click for some and they'll happily learn to tank. That's why it's a good thing for them to introduce new jobs in all the roles each expansion. It draws folks out a their comfort zone for the new freshness.

My favorite part about all this on Gunbreaker, is that I don't have to consider buying and grinding for gear. I keep 50/60/70 gear for any possible new classes in a retainer all on its own. But the leveling 1-60 part is a pure joke in itself lol.

...ick, I just realized that means they'll be jumping into Sirensong. Just thinking about those pulls after the first boss fills me with dread.

Guys. This stuff is tentative. Means it can change till release. Don't jump to conclusions early. lets wait for the live letters / last fan fest in japan

When has that ever happened?

I'd rather them put it at 60 least for me that way I can jump in and learn how to use OGCDs, how to use all the tank abilities from the get go, have DRK at 30 was okay but we still had DRKs running around at like 50+ who learned nothing from their job and didn't have Darkside up 100% of the time. I'm sure they'll lock it behind the SB MSQ so you can't do it till after.

Y'all acting like it's going to be complicated or something lol tanking isn't rocket science.....insert gun tank stance, insert 2 CDs one being stronger then the other, insert aoe enmity skill, insert 1 2 3 enmity combo, insert 123 dps combo! Like comon lol and one wants to level up in old a$$ content

The main problem I see is that syncing down to level 50 or lower will result in Gunbreaker having virtually no skills at sll.

That's... not how it works. Even though the job itself is going to be level 60, all of the skills are going to have their respective levels. It's like that with every other job that was added after ARR. It might not be the most exciting thing to get Sastasha and only have access to one skill, but it's like that for every single job.
