Gunbreaker

Gunbreaker focuses on cooldown management to maximize damage within every cast of No Mercy. It is unique in that it is the only tank that has GCD-based cooldowns such as Gnashing Fang or Double Down, making it slightly stricter in exchange for slightly higher DPS. Gunbreaker’s unique mitigation cooldowns can grant high HP sustain and/or recovery for individual targets through actions such as Aurora or Heart of Corundum.

Most Recent Job Changes

Patch 7.4:

Gnashing Fang is now a charge-based cooldown with 2 charges.
Bloodfest now grants 3 cartridges, and allows the powder gauge to temporarily hold up to 6 cartridges, thereby preventing Bloodfest from overfilling the gauge. It has also been updated to be a 60-second cooldown.
