Gunbreaker should be Tank and DPS

[Kandraxx]

Make it like Druid in WoW and give it two job crystals, one for tank and another for dps. It’s one, if not the most iconic FF class in the game, but then locking it behind a role most players shy away from in MMOs. Not about hard to play or not, but as a tank you’re simply the actor on the stage while the dps/healer audience watches you and a lot of people don’t like this playing in the spotlight.

You could probably say this for warrior/dark knight as well, but they are just staple western MMO and nowhere near as FF as the gunbreaker.

Another thing is that dps could really use a “sword user” besides the exotic samurai, as SAM is not everyone’s taste.

They tried they with arcansit which can be a Scholar or Summoner. They said they would never do that again.

Easy solution is to not sky away from tanking.
Someone's gotta tank. Who's gonna do it if all the "good" jobs are dps?

I see no problem here. The last thing we need is less Tanks, and unhooking something as cool as GNB from the role will just result in less Tanks.

Also, GNB is arguably the 2nd or 1st easiest Tank.

Sucks that you're not playing WoW

... Because we definitely need less tanks... Guess what role is frequently the "adventurer in need" bonus across nearly every data center? Hint: it's not dps, and that's precisely what many GNB would be, given the option.

It is fine as it is, thanks.

[ErryK]

people play it like a dps already anyways.

well, tough. tanxiety isn't real btw.

[gumas]

maybe one day when they introduce a stance that switch between dps or tank exclusive only for tank class. but i highly doubt it

[KariTheFox]

What would a "DPS gunbreaker" even play like? Just like how GNB plays now but with all the tanking abilities removed? Or would you want to add more buttons to GNB's already incredibly busy kit?

Both options sound kinda bad to me.
