I don't think we are playing the same game if this is your thought process. I'll say again, IF GNB is as strong as you make it to be, which it's not, but if it was, where are the results? Where are the hoards of GNB's dominating the boards or tournaments? Why do you play GNB if it's as strong as you say? GNB is still worse than WAR and specifically PLD right now. There is no question about it. A small buff to how DnJ functions would not break the game, it would at most, bring GNB up to the level that is currently occupied by WAR and PLD.

Not sure what you mean by inconsistent as I have been repeating the same thing over and over again. Take current DnJ, replace it with RDM Black/White shift but instead of going from black to white to black again, you go from Tank to Healer to DPS to Tank again. Each stance change would change Junctioned Cast to the respective Nebula, Aurora, or Blasting Zone associated with said stance, still on it's same 20sec cooldown. Yes, this would be an overall buff even if you completely removed the Powder Barrel charge you normally get from DnJ, by being able to swap to what you need on the fly. However, it would make the job more enjoyable, while also increasing the skill ceiling so that better players can shine. But that is fine because GNB is not great at the moment. It still needs a buff, and this is the buff it needs. It doesn't need more potency, it doesn't need crowd control, it needs DnJ to not be as jank as it is to not be a throw pick. I have over a thousand ranked games on GNB only to back up my reasoning, but as far as I know you are a SCH main? I really, really, want to see you go GNB right now into ranked, pick Healer stance every time you can, and show the results. Prove that it is overpowered and I will happily apologize and agree with you. But until then, it is my personal opinion that this is the best way forward.
