An Idiot's Guide to GUNBREAKER | FFXIV Dawntrail



[7.15] Gunbreaker time! Very fun job that got a funny change but I personally switched back to Dark Knight cause the rotation got really screwy.

  1. Right now, I see the name "Double Down" to mean that it's what you use right after the start of the Gnashing fang combo.
    It kind of feels a bit weird, but I like how the rotation isn't quite as strict on getting into every minute burst with three cartridges. You need to only really make sure you go into your 2 minute burst with exactly 2 carts, which is normally as simple as using Burst strike right before you start no mercy.

    Personally, I think Burst Strike should be a ranged move similar to Holy Spirit. If they did that, you could actually have use for the cartridges outside of saving them for bursts and using one right before Solid Barrel to not overcap.

  2. Three-DPS-In-A-Trench-Coat is one of the most fun jobs out there, but also will give you carpal tunnel… The rotation is ultra strange right now too, I’m not sure changing the cartridge cost on Double Down was actually good lol.

  3. Thanks for this, just started as a gunbreaker as my normal group doesn’t have a tank and this one looked the coolest for me to swap from BLM. Hoping to get some tank confidence using this info this coming week on game nights.

  4. My only real gripe about gunbreaker is that blasting zone only hits one enemy, you're telling me that massive hard hitting line that can technically hit from range would only strike one enemy? come on SE make it a line aoe
