FFXIV | LV 100 Gunbreaker Opener

The perfect rotation doesn't exist (everyone can brainfart during a dungeon/trial/raid)
I main gunbreaker (for tanks at least) since 2-3 years and i didn't follow any guide.
tldr :
begin with a classic combo in order to get a cardridge, you can use buff (no mercy and potion) during the combo.
during the cardridge combo you have to do bloodfest, then double down with ogcd (blasting zone and sonic strike)
finish the renzokuken thing and use the lion heart combo so you can use sonic break at end before reloading cartridges.
burst strike is not mandatory but can still receive no mercy buff if well timed.
Note that sonic break is a dot who can receive no mercy buff.
also i was ilv 685 during this video.

Huh that’s weird, when I tried to reuse the old endwalker opener, wicked talon combo would fall off before I could finish the reload button’s new combo

@@tatlxtael2303 what was the exact rotation ?
Lion heart should be placed after the cardridge burst in case

[@tatlxtael2303]

@@Ygnaris I would do the 123, get my first cartridge, no mercy, gnashing fang, continuation, bloodfest, blasting zone, bowshock, double down, then the noble blood combo and when i finally got back to the rest of gnashing fangs it fell off and i couldn't use the other 2 hits ;n;

[@Ygnaris]

​@@tatlxtael2303 bloodfest and blasting zone are both ogcd
If you do theses before double down, you will lose some time.
When you use gnashing fang with continuation and bloodfest, use double down before blasting zone and bowshock, so you could finish the rest of the combo with no mercy enabled.
Also you have to finish gnashing fang combo before doing noble blood

​@@tatlxtael2303Lionheart (aka noble blood combo) breaks Gnashing. Why you might ask? Because whoever designs Gunbreaker hates us.

[@tatlxtael2303]

WTF!? So I guess I shoudl be folloing the old opener up and ending after DD with the Noble Blood Combo?

Thanks for making this. It helps to see it action

If you’re going to go with 123 No Mercy, Burst Strike before Sonic Break so you can fit the hyper velocity in the window

[@Ygnaris]

do i have a risk to lose no mercy before doing sonic break ?
i mean if it's a dot it will do more damage than burst strike 🤔

[@lamia4388]

@@Ygnaris no if you late weave No Mercy you will always get the Sonic break right before it expires
