    How is GNB's personal mitigation?

    One of my favorite things about Dark Knight has always been its insane mitigation. Personally, I really love feeling like an immovable beserker who takes little to no damage. This is one of the reasons I always go for the Tank/Defender class in just about every game I play.


    However, I really despise the new DRK overall, so naturally I'm starting to look at GNB. It seems pretty fun and I really love the aesthetic. How is its personal mitigation compared to Dark Knight and the other tanks? Honestly, if GNB has more mitigation than DRK, that will be the final key I need to officially convert and be a GNB main.

    GNB is about as shady as DRK atm. Same magic mitigation aoe buff that's relatively bad overall. It has it's own Shadow Wall of 10% for 30 seconds. One of it's main combos provides a minor shield/cure that's shareable to another party member. I wouldn't call it the mitigation champ like I know how you feel about DRK but it's definitely a busy/fun job to play. Also there's so far no glamour weps from Ramuh, Ifrit, Thordan, etc weps from level 50-60

    Also, unpopular opinion... Bow Shock and Sonic Break should share a CD.

    I'm obviously not max level yet but from what I've experienced leveling GNB and from what I've heard from others who already have it above level 70, GNB mitigation is somewhat lacking. Brutal Shell's shield is barely noticeable and the heal is pretty weak, their regen is also not very good. Their tankbuster cooldown is just a flat out worse Raw Intuition lasting around two more seconds but is 5% weaker (15% vs 20%). Their party-wide mitigation is magic only so useless against anything that isn't magic damage and since parry was nerfed (and was never good to begin with), camouflage is basically just a 10% damage reduction cooldown... Superbolide is almost as bad as Living Dead and can screw you out of benediction/essential dignity, only things it has in line with other tanks is Rampart and their 30% defensive cooldown.

    They're a blast to play, really entertaining especially at level 70 when they do start feeling quite speedy, but they seem to be considered the tanks with the worst personal mitigation at the moment.

    It's fine. They're not squishy, but there are some cooldowns that do seem oddly worse than their contemporaries' for no real reason. Play what you want, I'm sticking with it for the foreseeable future because I got tired of WAR and PLD (and hated SB DRK).

    It's decent but I consider camouflage need some flat mitigation buffs like 20% mitigation + parry at minimun.

    not much of a issue as stated Camouflage is odd
    but combination of rampart,Nebula and how frequent heart of stone is
    Aurora is nice too and keen flurry shield is ok as well

    its fine

    From the little I played its. Basically boiled down to a few points of contention for me personally.

    1.) Camouflage, yes this desperately needs a buff, especially with Parry nerfing making an already iffy skill worse.
    2.) Brutal Shell, yup why is this SO weak? 100% of damage dealt as the HP+shield otherwise what's even the point?
    3.) Bow Shock should be 20s
    4.) Potencies of the Gnashing Fang combo needs be upped by about 10 to 20 per.
    5.) This one is just a small gripe, but the animation lock and range of Rough Divide makes it feel really odd.

    Other than that though GNB feels great to play, its busy without being tedious and there's a lot of promise in it!

    As far as personal mitigation, it's just mediocre. Not overpowered, not under powered, so far I have no issues.

    I ran with a healer in the first new duty and pulled 2 mobs, we survived and I said "see you dont need to DPS now, look at all the healing you have to do"

    We laughed.
