Tobeh: My lobster is too buttery and my steak too juicy

Sunshine-tu6cm: "Dude actually the design being bad and clunky is good dude I actually love my Gnashing Fang drifting my entire rotation yeah it's clunky and obnoxious but that means its more complex and that makes it harder so that means its better

TNTspaz: Ngl. Seeing people say that this ruins the class fantasy is baffling to me. Acting like GNB had tons of flexibility and nuance before this. What planet do these people live on.

Half the time I see people talk about the game nowadays. We might as well not even be playing the same game lol

KingNirada: I'm starting to think the FFXIV forums are just filled with trolls intentionally trying to make the game worse because they know the devs actually check the official forums. I can't imagine anyone would willingly go through that annoying to navigate website for actual helpful feedback alone.

HeartabyssKoi: So I actually talked with a very casual FC member of mine who plays gunbreaker and he does not go into extremes or savage. He does not like the changes and basically the root cause of his distaste for the changes is “more cartridges means I have more to think about and it’s too much to do at once” and “the job just feels too fast and I press things too often”

I genuinely think there are people that LIKE pressing 1-2-3 more and like the feeling of playing a job more than how the job actually feels to play.

techdeth: It felt wierd at first just because its new ... i like how it feels constantly active and you arent in danger of COMPLETELY fkking your rotation by simple mistakes or downtime.

richardmarin2538: Xeno: "I bet this guy doesn't even do savage."

They don't. Went and checked the tomestones, then logs for everyone here. Some of them have never even seen the inside of a raid. Like it's crazy how these are the people that feel it's their voice on game design and the health of a job that should be listened to.

Paintguy75: If the playerbase isn’t complaining about something, they aren’t happy.

Martynus7: I'm still using the same old rotation minus the stress on cartridges.

bartthas: These GNB changes are one of the best things they have done

EverianKalim: People only complaining cause its Potency got dropped but you Lionheart Twice as often, Gnashing Fang has charges so you will also have it for NM windows now, less time doing 123 combo or dumping with Burst now Bloodfeast overcaps carts. Its so Good!

arohk4415: nothing worse than drifting gnashing fangs because the boss cant be attacked

DrakeRazgriz: Play GNB a lot and I love the changes

DBACLX: Hmm, let me preface my comment by saying - Yes, GNB became widely more flexible and therefore accessible and in terms of QoL those changes were amazing. And i dont really care about the potency nerfs, i actually think that all tanks should deal the same amount of damage.

However, i was quite fond of and had a lot of fun with the toxic relationship me and cartridges had before.

It required me to engage with my job and the fight in a highly personalised way to make the most out of the broken Gunblade i was dealt or rather choose willingly over the Axe or the Greatsword.

And i did that, because succeeding with it always felt way more rewarding to me personally. Like i went out, hunted and prepared my own meal, in a sense.

Now, while the rotation stays the same, it feels flat and stale. My entire Burst Window gets handed to me on a silver plate, just for being alive and the filler rotation between No Mercy Bloodfest feels so vastly disconnected from everything.

Don't get me wrong, i'm truly happy for everyone that now finds love for this job and enjoys playing it. But to me, its just lost love and my Ex asking me if we can stay friends.

ArslanSieghart: O MIGHTY BALDOSYS VEX, RUIN DARK KNIGHT FOR US, DRK PLAYERS:

Untie carve and spit from abyssal drain, make salted earth a 60 seconds and with the regen per tick effect from PVP, MAKE ABYSSAL DRAIN A 30 SECONDS CD OGCD with 2 charges to spice our Goddamn 1-2-3 bloodspiller nonsense and their delirium/blood weapon stack removal idiocy in zodiark's name! I WILL EVEN IGNORE HOW INFERIOR TBN IS IN COMPARISON TO HoC/Holy Sheltron and Bloodwhetting!

xZidyx: as one balding man said - "those ppl should just make big rock into small ones, you dont ask for their opinion."

UnstoppableSmooze: Speaking of clunky, playing summoner on m8s was so painful because every downtime window was at the odd minute, so it pushed your two minute back because bahamut wouldn't be ready because phoenix is off cool down

DefinitelyNotAMymmik: It feels so much better now tbh, I feel like I’m being punished less for missing rotation parts

Jeycht: "This guy doesn't do savage" He indeed doesn't do savage, nor raid24, ex or even normal raid. Only dungeons. The last ex done was the 3 first in Endwalker, gray parse.

Edit: Damn I just checked every people who complained in that video. The either didn't do any savage or ex or they are clearing super late with low parse.

cherry6051: As a GNB main for multiple ultimates (all except UWU) and savage tiers with high barses, I absolutely ADORE these new changes. It introduces so much flexibility in long, multi-phase fights like ults. Previously, you had to beg the party to hold at certain killtimes otherwise you would not have enough cartridges to enter your next burst. However with these changes, it introduces a fair bit of flexibility to counter that. Even better, the rotation actually feels way better to play and not as janky anymore. Love love LOVE these changes!

WreckTheSphere: People that don't realise the massive amount of QoL GNB just recieved are absolutely regarded. There is no helping these people.

mechaulfr9600: I really like the changes over all.

It feels more forgiving but not "easy"

HaoLiXing: Imagine wanting Goring Blade Dot back.

lightwargod: I'm with you on the the current max level and state of the Job, but... You really should consider how it affects lower level content. You can't claim Ultimate is the best content in the game because it also stays relevant the longest while simultaneously hand waving away the criticisms of how a Job plays in lower level Ultimates. We all know how dumb it was for so long that Dark Missionary wasn't available in UCoB and UWU. There are legitimate criticisms of the Jobs at lower levels.

jg2096: I took a break for a few months to play other games and came back for 7.4. GNB feels fantastic to play now. I don't even notice Blood Fest cool down anymore and I would say this is going to do MORE DPS than before because it's more often plus 6 charges. OMG, it's insane.

Can the DRK get this treatment. Not enough mana regeneration, things are too high cost TBN needs a heal and a defense boost. Salted earth needs to give a defense boost if you stand in it and a heal for salt and darkness if it hits you.
