Thanks for the video! Quite detailed guide, it would be nice if you had some timestamps for each section of the guide. Something I notice a lot of guides skip is the usage of swiftness instead of crit in your necklance when using Adrenaline (which is mostly relevant until you have all your cooldown gems at lvl 7, but also provides some movement speed) and skipping spirit absorption. This also goes to hand with the usage of spirit absorption as a "QoL" engraving that also provides 10% dmg since you can fit more skills into your bash window (which is a hot point, many people disagree on this). Most guides completly skip over these two points, which I found a bit of a pity, but since you dont run Adrenaline yourself I can see why you didnt add this in your video. I also main GL, and had SA 3, Barricade, 3 Grudge 3 and CR 1 (full spec and crit on necklace) until I switched to Barricade 3, Stabilized Status 3, Cursed Doll 3, Grudge 3, Adre 2 and CR 1 since I got lucky buying some good accessories on the market (necklace with swiftness sadly) and I dont really miss SA that much tbh, maybe once I get rid of the swiftness I will suffer a bit, but hopefully by then all the supports will run their full set for the sweet movement buff.
Yeah I agree, you make some pretty important points here, I don't exactly HATE SA, but I'm good with not using it since I didn't have it for so long I'm used to not having the swift or SA. Once the supports get their yearning set it's gonna be so nice
Agreed, I ultimately think it’s up to preference in comfort during combat. If adrenaline is the “meta” but someone isn’t comfortable juggling those stacks then it wont feel good to play the character and that’s ultimately what’s most important, you want to enjoy playing your character which sometimes means not playing the “meta” build
@@Haiguh Hi, I was thinking to get PD legendary book for lv3 and replace adrenaline lv2. Woud I get more damage this way? LV3 Precise dagger vs level 2 adrenaline
Rn i use Adrenaline on my blue GL. tbh it ok if you use full dps skill. rn in high end content which you need to swap dps skill like shield shock to upper fire, it suck man since your skill rotation cooldown already messed up and you cant keep stacking adrenaline buff. sorry for my bad english. hope you can understand
@@crash1do probably? Im not entirely sure on the numbers in comparison, I know Adrenaline with full stacks is obviously gonna give more damage than precise dagger, but you would need to be at 6 stacks, if you’re not at 6 stacks you will be doing less damage than Precise. I think getting level 3 precise would be better
@@theFlankerify your english seems good to me! Yeah with adrenaline it sucks bc sometimes you may even have to use your shield just to stay at full stacks which is kind of a waste, one of the big reason I personally don’t take it
why dont blue lancers run mass increase? its a big dmg boost, since they are in shield almost 100% of them time the move speed debuff doesnt really matter
Thanks for the guide man! Very well done!...just a question..i am going for cursed doll instead of dagger...do u suggest to change? I am still in time XD
This is true, however right now we don't have that so this isn't like a permanent best gunlancer rotation or anything, moreso just showing off my personal build and rotation but yeah once we get the 6 piece nightmare after Vykas we're gonna open with the awakening for sure
Hi, thanks for the video, I learned some things. Can I ask why shield charge over surge cannon? I cant wrap my head around shield charge as a core ability other than some mobility, the damage seems really bad compared to Surge. Thanks!
I mean I talked for about 4 minutes about why I wouldn't use Surge cannon of Nellasia's, Shield charge is one of my main damage skills so why would I drop it for a more subpar skill. Combat Readiness increases all my blue skills damage by 20% so my blue skills are doing more already, only way I could even see Surge cannon doing equal to or MORE than shield charge is if I Crit every hit of it which is already unlikely and land every hit on the face of the target which is also unlikely in every scenario. Shield charge doesn't have any positional requirements, does really good damage and give you sustain in the movement speed or shield tripod. in my vykas run my shield charge was hitting for almost 2 mil a hit at points which is a lot more than surge cannon. If you're playing red tho this is totally different
Shield charge also has half the cooldown that surge cannon does so you could get 2 off in the time you'd get 1 surge cannon which increases the damage even more
Stabilized Status is USUALLY much cheaper to build so if you wanna save money thats the way, but the damage boost they give is kind of the same so it’s up to you on what you can build. I personally don’t mind stabilized status much anymore since Im much tankier so there is basically no negatives to it
Honestly even though it seems like Stabilized Status has less downsides than Cursed Doll's drawback, they're actually pretty similar if you think about it. Stabilized Status only works when your health is over 80%. What that means however is that if your health goes down below 80%, then you're gonna wanna use a potion to get back up and get that damage boost again (unless you're fine not having the damage boost, but at that point then you just wasted 15 engraving points for nothing). So basically with Stabilized Status, you're having to "waste" potions more than you normally would, which is if you think about it, not that different than Cursed Doll's -25% potion efficiency. You're losing healing efficiency either way. However with Cursed Doll, you have your damage boost all the time, no matter what. That's why Cursed Doll is prioritized over Stabilized Status in Blue Gunlancer builds (specifically Blue GL btw, other classes aren't tanky enough to immediately go into Grudge/Cursed Doll out the game). That said, Haiguh is right in that if cost is a concern and you can find Stabilized Status gear for much cheaper than Cursed Doll, then go for it, it's still a good choice, one of the top 3 engravings you'd wanna max out anyway for Blue GL. Note: Oh and also I think it goes without saying, but just making sure, Cursed Doll is only worth it at Level 3. So that's something to consider too.
I think shield shock would do more damage, Shield shock cooldown is only 10 seconds and surge cannon is around 30 seconds so that means you also get 3 opportunities to proc whatever rune you have on shield shock (quick recharge, rage, bleed) while surge cannon would still be on CD
This is my main so he’s been in T3 for ages so overtime Ive gotten most of my tripods at minimum level 4, but I think the only big priority ones you could like to buy are for your synergies like Shout of Hatred (cooldown) or Bash (ready attack) maybe even Nellasias, but there aren’t any others that I think outshine the rest. Guardians thunderbolt, shield bash, leap attack all of their tripods are good to level up. I cant see many definite priority tripods aside from the synergy ones
Hey I main Blue gl with 3500 hours at it, have 12 gls main 1490, stabilizaed is bad because you can not use your huge HP pool, I run cursed doll, also I run pd 2 and spirit 3, have my spec at 1650 and my necklace is spec/swift, my rotations are crazy fast , Id like to do a dps race to get mvp vs you on strean , maybe a valtan hard no supports and same synergies

Great vid! 👍
Adrenalin vs Precise Dagger is the BIG question when building Blue GL. I'm not sure what I'll go for both have its pros and cons as you explained

Mass increase doesn't reduce Move Speed, it reduces ATK Speed and we're already not exactly speedy attackers so it would feel more clunky
Thanks for the guide man! Very well done!...just a question..i am going for cursed doll instead of dagger...do u suggest to change? I am still in time XD
Cursed would probably give you more damage overall but Precise would give you more yellow numbers, Ive heard overall PD is like an 11% damage increase
@@Haiguh so u suggest to.stick with cursed doll or replace with PD?
@@ZiuGigi I would just go with whatever is cheaper to be honest.
what kind of relic set u use?

Why not both?
hi bro, how about surge cannon for shield shock?
I think shield shock would do more damage, Shield shock cooldown is only 10 seconds and surge cannon is around 30 seconds so that means you also get 3 opportunities to proc whatever rune you have on shield shock (quick recharge, rage, bleed) while surge cannon would still be on CD
@@Haiguh thank you for the reply dude, additional question what relic gear are you going into? whenever dropping the argos pieces
@@ZurelaXXI nightmare
Gems ?
Tripod skill transfer priories ?
This is my main so he’s been in T3 for ages so overtime Ive gotten most of my tripods at minimum level 4, but I think the only big priority ones you could like to buy are for your synergies like Shout of Hatred (cooldown) or Bash (ready attack) maybe even Nellasias, but there aren’t any others that I think outshine the rest. Guardians thunderbolt, shield bash, leap attack all of their tripods are good to level up. I cant see many definite priority tripods aside from the synergy ones
u can use surge cannon as blue gunlancer cuz it deal so much dmg insteed of shield shock or shield
I disagree, Shield Shock has a 9 second Cooldown which means you can use shield shock 3 times in the same amount of time you use Surge Cannon once.
Hey I main Blue gl with 3500 hours at it, have 12 gls main 1490, stabilizaed is bad because you can not use your huge HP pool, I run cursed doll, also I run pd 2 and spirit 3, have my spec at 1650 and my necklace is spec/swift, my rotations are crazy fast , Id like to do a dps race to get mvp vs you on strean , maybe a valtan hard no supports and same synergies
