What i suggest with monk is RoE add some status effect for 3 seconds nullifies status afflictions that can be removed by Purify. Then remove the 6k barrier of thunderclap and change it to 25% damage reduction that stack like wind resonance with shorter duration. 25% DR for 2s, 50% DR 4s, 75% DR 6s. Since TC is used to setup PR while rotating for 6 skills mnk has good dr.
Im really baffle with GNB on PVP. Its so bad. Need all teammates really good that it is only usable at best. But you can replace gnb with any melee dps it will do better for your team
They could probably fix GNB to be at least somewhat decent and competitive with 1 or 2 simple changes…
Like say, add cc-immunity to Nebula–so you can pick between using tank synergy to protect your burst or dps synergy to add more damage into it… And alpha-chad breakers who wanna combo more could start their burst in nebula and swap to dps half way through to amp up the gnashing combo.
Even something simple like working heavy and a stun into the gnashing combo for dps stance would go a long way…
Like, every job should have either a cc or an extra cc immunity, but never both–and especially never neither like gunbreaker.
I disagree with red mage placement, the class is busted! It has a line silence on a pretty short cd, a solid LB, it has the ability to reduce enemy healing potency with frazzle, and it just does super good damage, easily in the top 2 classes overall
