A Godforsaken Gunbreaker Guide (FFXIV: Endwalker) 

Gunbreaker was my gateway drug into melee DPS

“The choice is obvious… samurai” 😂

The only thing I really dislike about this job is when I only have 1 GCD of time left before Gnashing Fang comes up, about to hit my combo-3, and I'm already at 3 Carts. if I hit the combo, it'll overcap on Cartridges, and if I spend a cartridge, I'll delay Gnash by a gcd, or don't delay it, and drift Double-Down like crazy. Thankfully, Gnash drifts by default if you have any Speed other than 2.5, and there are no 0 SkS rings at ilvl660 right now, so unless you want an ilvl650 piece in your best in slot, you need to have that variance in there. It's one of the few jobs in the game that I've actively sought out optimization guides for. I can see the pieces, and most of how they fit together, I just needed that little bit of guidance for how to work it properly.

I still prefer Vergil, although parrying a Fury as gunbreaker is quite satisfying.

If they had less health you couldn't swag on them as much. Hell Sloth=is=Dead

my bran hursts

You should put catgirls in your tumbnails more often. I clicked on this video without thinking twice.

It's always a joy when I see my favourite content creator, Lucy Pyre, upload a new FF14 video ❤

I appreciate the little gunbreaker tips amidst the DMC guide, good job chair!

Fun fact: if you Superbolide while HoC is active, you keep the invulnerability AND get the heal because your health dropped below 50%. Remember this and help your healers :)

Gunbreaker truly encapsulates the energy of guzzling 12 energy drinks and pulling an all nighter, Red Queen in hand, and blasting Devil Trigger, to then crash and burn the next day. Still fun to press as many buttons as it allows for though. Cheers Chair, im glad you still put so much work into these, and are as entertaining as always.

I only play gnb to hit superbolide at inopportune times to make the healer sweat

Seeing GNB depicted as having a six-bullet chamber gunblade but only having 3 cartridges gives me a _conniption._

I'm not sure what the crossover percentage is between DMC fans and FFXIV fans, but I appreciated all the references and edits

If you're not hitting Max act on practically every attack demons just feel like they take longer to kill in general with Nero even outside DMD. Dante at least you can practically one shot the chunkier enemies like the giant bug guys with Royal Release, but I feel like Nero has to work a little harder to keep up. Then again I'm really bad at remembering to use any Devil Breaker other than Tomboy so maybe it's my fault for relying too much on buster throws and that lol

"You Shirk after Voke" - No cap this is a really helpful mnemonic device

Alright gunbreaker mains nobody really came here to learn their rotation so here's the real question what's your favorite Platinum game that didn't do well either critically or financially?

I'm glad i started tanking before I stopped drinking. That vodka did wonders for my tanxiety during the learning stages.

10:23 "Here at Misshapen Chair LLC, we do not believe in SlowBreaker." Unsubscribed, unfollowed, blocked, doxxed, canceled, disliked, reported, and video sent to your employer

Honestly, part of why I love misshapen chair's guides is that he will tell the truth: that for normal content you can be suboptimal. If you like the job and aren't fantastic at it, you are probably fine.

what about the capious amount of depression I feel after not critting a double down + blasting zone for the 100th pull in a row?

The amount of Footage used for your videos does not go unnoticed... as does my desire to have back my " Hissatsu: Kaiten "... GIVE IT BACK DX !!!

As a GNB main. I’d say If you wanna play tank, don’t play GNB. You might as well just play MDPS instead, if you want that vibe. GNB is just a strict fast paced tank that punishes tf outta you for any amount of down time, and has 0 flexibility in hard content. 😭😂 (end me)

Gunbreaker is like a class that use FF8 Squall as a base then mash it with Dmc feel combat, Top gun Aesthetic, The Matrix drip and Arnold shotgun crisp sound. PERFECTION

The guide is completely invalid, Chair forgot that you get an extra hit every GCD if you press R2 exactly at the time the Gunblade hits the enemy.

All I learned is there is no such thing as Devil may cry 2.

Finally someone mentions Arms Lenght not working with Vengeance, i noticed that immediately when i first picked up Warrior. It works if you use Arms Lenght and let mobs slap you for 1 or 2 autos before using Vengeance.

bro just one extra second to No Mercy bro pls

This guide makes me question if I'm even playing the right game.

7:05 Okay, that's funny. I wasn't expecting to see this on a new Gunbreaker video xD

What I've gathered is that continuation is like reverse kaiten. Got it. Also damn this editing is slick as fuck

Its really... idk funny I guess? every time I see a class guide for ff14 its talking about max level for whatever expansion was released at the time of the video. I have been playing off and on for about 3 years now and my highest lvl is an 87 samurai (I have a job and irl friends). So yeah, class guides have never been helpful to me at any point. Fun video tho.

Ok but slow breaker gives bigger copium numbers and that feels good in my slow brain.

Any time i see a chair video, i know there's at least one other video that didn't show up in my sub feed before the current one - despite that that's specifically what it's for - and yep. Double chair day, looks like. Don't worry, I know the algorithm at this point chair. Even if my feed is broken I will seek your content to support

"Easy mode is now accessable" WAR job icon. I'm dead

6:17 I have 4,000 hours in this game, I have done almost all the content hard or easy the game from offer... BUT I NEVER KNEW THAT THE ICON ON THE DAMAGE TOLD YOU IF IT WAS PHYSICAL OR MAGICAL.

Heavensward Gunbreaker was totally SSS+ tier imo

How did you manage to capture the pain of the healer experience in a guide about Gunbreaker of all things?

we do not believe in slow breaker - AMEN too bad its the busiest and lowest dmg tank when u play 2.4 Edit: your opener combo didn't take the mandatory reverse drifting into account to make fast breaker viable. after your 1-2-3, you still got ur pot active so instead of another 1-2-3 you wanna pop a burst strike in there and later on reverse drift gnashing back into place. that way you maximize ur pot dmg. do the same at 6 minutes

so glad theres a new guide for the hit game "Devil May Cry" out

I just bought the new Gunbreaker Relic to make a Xenoblade cosplay. Good to have a crash course on how to stop losing GCDs during No Mercy

Watched this while healing Subterrane

I heard from a relaiable source that Fated Circle will have a Continuation trigger in Dawntrail and will be allowed to carry 4 bullets.

I simultaneously love and hate GNB enough to make it my main job for anything other than dungeons. It's SOOOOO close to being an incredibly amazing job to play but is just off enough to be annoying. Although when learning new content I still usually stick to WAR. Also, 2.45 skill speed is best skill speed.

4:30 Not the 10B Wives ost bro I didn’t know you were THAT cultured Chair

top 10% of players know what a GCD is bottom 10% = mentors so true.

Always have a shield on and self healing is key to mastering Gunbreaker. Pretty damn easy once you stop getting overwhelmed by all the buttons.

I gotta say, as a new player to FF14 to play with my girlfriend, and both of us being huge DMC fans, clicking on this video to learn Gunbreaker and all of the DMC memes popping up feels like destiny.

Yay, another chair video! Missed those since the last one

Does Gunbreaker do double damage to Machinists in PVP? I feel like they should, going by the name.

SMH Aaand another GNB guide that compleyely misses out on 2 important extra weaveable dps buttons: Interject and Low Blow.

Gnashing Fang is a dps gain on 3 targets. I will not stand for this flagrant misinformation.

gunbreaker will get a fourth bullet in dawntrail. bloodfest is gonna give you 3. the 1,2,3 combo will give you 2

Gunbreaker made me finally make a macro, just for Superbolide, so my healers stop having heart attacks when I use it.

I picked up Gunbreaker because I wanted to tank at level 60 from the get-go. Then I unlocked Continuation and that instantly made it my new favorite main job. Weaving between the Continuation combos makes my neurons activate, it FEELS so damn good

The way you describe how braindead and boring the game has become without actually saying it always confuses me. You're right, but it makes me wonder why one would keep playing if you've noticed it

As a GNB main, this isn't helpful at all, but I also can confirm that everything said in this DMC5 video is correct.

chairs

gunbreakers wish they were as cool as DMC... Gunmode seems very different than the brainlet tanks i play so maybe i'll try it on dawntrail

Sqenix i demand the proper Seifer's Hyperion. Not some cheap pointy umbrella named Hyperion

2.5 is the ONLY way to play at this point and time. Play faster and you'll see your numbers drop faster!

I can't put a comment on your sea of stars video so i'll put it here instead: I like your video Which happens to apply to both of them

Chair bitching about Continuation range being made two feet longer just because it's a change is peak.

Why did I never use Arms Length on the Antlion before today.

One of my best GNB Moment.. wasting a Benediction literally in the same frame where i used Superbolide (i was on 100% life for maybe half a second) 8:44 in P11S the double tankbuster was middle in the 6 Min Burst and ffs i love it!

Why does it look so much like Devil May Cry when he toggles Ray Tracing on?

There’s so much I gotta know I’m just wacking away all day

I've recently decided to make this my new tank main. It's pretty fun, I was hoping for one of these.

I just put everything on a combat macro and press R2 and square. I do good enough.

10/10 guide - subbed p.s devil trigger theme at the end made me cream my pants.

While I agree on the idea that some jobs should be more punishing for those that want that, at the same time it took a job that was semi punishing in shadow bringers and made it much more so in the next expansion, it made my favorite tank to play into my least favorite tank to play with just how inflexible it is. and it sucks because every other tank is just brain dead easy besides drk with its burst, and theres not really an inbetween anymore.

He was right, drinking makes tanking really fun!

"we do not believe in Slowbreaker" -> 2.40 not even listed

That thing, your black mage guide, hand it over

Let's play 100% Orange Juice chair

What's this plogon I should avoid downloading to help with ping? 😉

The DMC “jokes” go on for way too long my man

Is it a crime to go as fast as 2.39 (2.38 w/ food)

i love gnb but can't play for shit

Why am I here I don’t even play ff14

What plugin is he talking about?

im so glad sseth made a ff14 channel

wake up babe new chair video

Wow my opener was nothing like that.. i gotta try that out!!

Dawntrail will have GNB rework and revitalising of skills....From leaked patch notes: Double down will become Triple Down. The end.

OMG 1:52 Jesus Christ I'm glad I'm not the only watching tanks wait until their HP fall to 20% before they Rampart ...like that's not gonna save you now buddy...

Ok so if I remember correctly it's 1 > 2 > 3 > No Mercy > Boom > Badaboom > Big Slash > Monodot > Multidot > Ammo > Floormustdie > Dash > Boom > Badaboom > Dash > Boom > Badaboom > Kaboom > Badaboom > 1 > 2 > 3 Got it!

him talking about no mercy window is the sound of a 2.4 GNB main, slowbreaker (2.5) is early weave for the purpose of alignment from 2 cartridge burst, because you have to make burst strike end at the start and start at the end to get its potency in (edit: this only applies to 3 cartridge capacity)

I started 14 as a paladin, drifted around, ended up preferring DPS gameplay but couldnt suffer the duty queue times. GNB is the perfect compromise for me-- all the DPS keyboard smashing i can take with minimal wait times for said smashing. plus, healers like me now.

I literally just don't care and space out my oGCDs enough that I only have to do one double weave. That's basically how I try to do every job that requires double weaving "how much can I space this shit out"

Or be a true 'adventure plate has not been created' gamer like my most recent dungeon tank, and use only heart of corundum for mitigation, making sure to always and exclusively put it in your single target burst window for peak damage.

I've raided on GNB for a long time, and finally this last raid tier just went to my secondary, WAR. HoC is insane in a raid setting but the three cartridge system and lack of significant damage difference just made it not worth it. Why have 6 different rotations in TOP when I could just go WAR and do the same thing, with basically the same damage potential?

what is at the peak of the player base?

If you want REAL uniqueness with cooldown recast timers, just ask for Bloodfest to be a 150s cooldown or 110s. 🙃🙃

Continuation on Burst Strike is like Tsubame-gaeshi on Shinten ._. and that Double Down isn't a natural combo with Bloodfest gives me Endwalker Launch NIN Flashbacks xx

As someone coming off from melee dps into being a GNB main, I'd say GNB is a biiit more "like a melee" because it has no mercy but it might just be me. And that 9gcd still makes my latency cry, I have to live with the slightly misaligned and cry myself to sleep as a result until I someday tackle hard content again and practice the 8/9

Hey remember when they accidentally increased the range of Iaijutsu on SAM? That was funny.

Thanks for making a useless guide for my favorite job. Love the videos as always, hail Sukuna

I know that the 90 sec bloodfest gave more variation in the rotation, but nothing fulfills me more than hitting the perfect 2 minute burst.
