Gunbreaker Limit Break

[Nickypooh]

The point is there is no reason to pick GNB over WAR/DKR

Even RPR does a better job in terms of being mobile/deal more damage/feels more tank and have an impacful AOE/Burst LB in Frontlines.

Absolutely not. Reaper functions better as semi tank/support with the ability to heal its teammates with arcane crest, the only advantage is that mobility doesn't really require a target and its forward/back but it is not as tanky as Gunbreaker with nebula and it does NOT even compare to the actual damage a Gunbreaker can potentially do when played right.

On the topic on hand

Gunbreaker's lb being a short timer and having good damage with a stun makes it pretty dang good.

Having it be countered by ccing it and negating a portion of it is actually healthy because not many LBs actually have this level of interaction and least gives some form of counterplay.

If you're afraid of cc windows just make sure during rough divide/no mercy window double tap lb to release terminal trigger into double down and that alone still gives value from stun/damage potentially forcing cds.

You got multiple chances to use this lb don't always try to go big otherwise it'll make it feel terrible.

WAR and DRK can't heal team mates when they feel like it and don't have nearly the mobility and damage that GNB does. Also, LOL@ the idea that RPR is doing more damage than GNB outside some weird Christmas land match where the enemy team stays bunched up and never targets them. If you think GNB is less tanky than RPR you must be one of those set it and forget it types with the junctions.

Maybe its just me but GNB LB just shreds. Its up all the time in every big moment, it does a ton of damage if nobody CCs you, and you can finish early for that sweet stun when you know the CC is coming.

Getting CC'd is annoying while you're in the middle of the LB I agree, but overall I think it's an okay LB. Sometimes all I want out of a GNB LB is to end it ASAP for the Terminal Trigger stun effect and damage, alongside Double Down for a quick 30k-ish or 40k-ish if in DPS junction (with rough divide's damage increase). We do realize that is:

• In DPS junction about 80% of a range's HP, and a 3-second stun in just over 2 GCDs

• Not in DPS junction at the bare minimum, half of every job's HP with a 3-second stun in just about the same amount of time

I realize it's not that simple in the heat of battle, but in a 5-minute match where you can realistically have 3-5 opportunities to use that exact combo, I'm okay with it.

Just pop purify before spinning lol

Yea, worst lb by far....

This feels like it is possibly the worst PVP Limit Break in the entire game owing to a few factors:
[LIST][*]The Limit break is an AoE effect, which means if the server tick says you aren't in range, your opponent doesn't get affected, so walking out of it is very easy.[*]It has no CC immunity despite being a channelled effect, meaning that the moment it starts, if your are CC'd you are unable to do anything until the CC wears off or the LB has finished channelling.[*]Gunbreaker has no other form of CC to combine it with. Meaning that there is no method to ensure someone is hit by it due to how long it takes to activate

Hard disagree. GNB LB is one of the deadliest LBs in the game. (If used well in the right time and spot), I’ve had instances where i killed more than 5 people (5 stacks on, BH4+).


Thing is GNB is a Tank, which makes a lot of people think that they must head straight forward like the other Tanks and that is a huge mistake. GNB, unlike other tanks, is very independent and plays differently. You don’t want to get CCed? Sneak your LB in and don’t be obvious.

While it is true GNB has no CC of its own, you can enhance your abilities with Rough Divide buff (No Mercy) for 7 seconds, including your LB too. Limit Break can also work as a method to survive from gank squads, you got 25% dmg reduction during Relentless Rush (45% with Nebula) and finishes with an AoE Stun AND is on 60s cooldown. Not a waste imo

To be honest I’m kinda surprised GNB isn’t in the meta Category, you don’t see a lot of GNBs in PvP, let alone good ones, which is why it is common to not feel threatened when a GNB is around

[Mekhana]

Problem is you see so many perma heal and dps junction up to Diamond. Nebula is crazy good compared to both you are practically wasting a cooldown.

[Mistress_Irika]

I haven't touched this class since season 1. I'm not sure when they added the 25% dmg reduction to their limit break, but it feels a bit better to use. I feel as though I have options about how I want to use my limit break whether I want to stall with Nebula, bait the guards, or just simply get the quick damage in. I wonder how the class is played at a higher level though...

[Jettinson]

Compared to what Gunbreaker was at start, it is much better to use now.
