I started the game with gladiator and then switched around dark knight and gunbreaker as I played the expansions, but I can think of no better way to bring the end than with a return to paladin
I started in June, leveled PLD to 66 then went fully to GNB. But they have awful glamours in terms of weapons. I went back to PLD and it’s honestly more fun to play. I’m just sad I don’t have the magic dmg reduction CD or Heart of Stone. Craptron is not very good and in Endwalker it’ll be only nice beyond lvl 80.
I main DRK, GNB, and PAL. The 1st for learning fights, and the later 2 for maximum damage runs. However I think I will definitely main PAL for much of the Moon content! Looking forward to it.
Has no one here mained Drk @ HW/StB? Holy crap it's current and upcoming, if unchanged state is underwhelming, and the fact that other tanks got more shiny stuff than Drk... I'm happy for y'all who main those, and it's good to have multiple tanks leveled, but what the hell devs
@Urazz blackest night is overrated af it uses ur dmg resource for a shield that if it fails to pop is a waste. It literally makes u have to play dumb and stay in aoes or telegraphs just so u can pop it and get a free cast. And all the other tanks now get a cd that is as good as blackest night and it doesn’t use up their dmg resource. Dark knight is dogshit and killed a lot of my hype. Luckily I leveled up a paladin.
@@CASetnaro Its not overrated its ranked so highly because of how good it is. 25% hp in a absorb is huge. The damage loss if using it? Thats only if the player uses it incorrectly. Darkest night mainly is used for Tank busters and Hard hitting abilities. You arent going to go out of your way to break it that might put you or your raid in more harm because thats dumb and it shows you have a lack of skill and optimising to be able to use it to its potential. Admittdly this can be a bit hard in dungeon aoe pulls. Though If the shield doesnt break thats 4 seconds of not needing healing from your healer since you took no damage so Either way its just a gain. Dps loss for survivability will always be worth it except when you hit enrage timers.
Fell in love with GNB once I got to SB and my love is ever stronger after SHB. These changes will definitely spice things up. WAR was the last tank and job I maxed because I felt like it wouldn't be that fun to play. I was dead wrong and now it's my 2nd favorite Tank. I just can't enjoy PLD like I thought I would, it was my first tank ever and I'm grateful that it taught me the basics. However, I think what happened was that Cecil was my first big exposure to pure Paladin and my expectations were based on him and his one handed heavy blade/longsword style. Whearas PLD is obv sword/shield. It's a small nitpick, but it's important enough to make me feel bareboned when I play it. I hope I feel differently down the line. As for DRK, it WAS my favorite tank till I found GNB. I honestly probably wasn't playing it right, but DRK felt so slow and sluggish (Especially now after GNB) and I couldn't really grasp what I was accomplishing with all the button pressing while other buttons like unmend and living dead were collecting dust. I really want DRK to be and feel amazing, even if I'm the only one that thinks it isn't right now. Ftr I started late last year and I hear DRK was much better in HW. TL;DR Gunbreaker and I are married and Warrior is our side piece. 🤣
Like everyone will be playing PLD but for real, the WAR self-sustain just makes you feel like a complete badass. I just feel like a God of War with WAR :D
As someone leveling gunbreaker for the first time, them putting the three-part cartridge combo into one button is huge for me. GNB right now just has way too much button clutter, and is especially clunky with continuation.
Yesterday i unlocked GNB and i have to say, Sonic Break feels so strange, like, It's a GCD with 60sec cd that you only use on the No Mercy window, and i see the same will happen with Double Down and idk how to feel about that lmao. Imo they should make Sonic Break an OGCD and Double Down i guess i can understand being a GCD having it uses cartridges lol
Yeah it feels good as an off tank but as soon as I have to pop a defensive while also needing to use my ogcd dps skill, it becomes weird. Plus I have to be so much more busy with my ogcds for not really much more damage than other tanks and it just feels awkward and excessive. Worried about it in EW. Same with aurora. Yet another ogcd I gotta weave. What if I need to hit aurora when I'm using continuation or a defensive? Just wait until I have a free spot? Then I may not need aurora. It's weird that the jobs healing is tied to it so much. I think aurora should be baked into another skill and also a shorter duration with a higher potency. Sonic break is clunky filler and only used in no mercy and I honestly thought it was going to be removed going into this xpac. Double down use negates getting more ammo and makes it sorta less fun got ammo imo.
Yeah get used to the clunkiness cause, them putting continuation after burst strike is gonna make it even more clunky since continuation is a forced oGCD.
@@Kiobao You guys can't doubleweave? Bad ping? I for one am glad Xenos is so vocal about how bat he thinks GNB is. It means I get to be the special little snowflake that i prefer to be! =)
I'm switching from DRK to WAR, if no further changes are coming. EW basically fixes all the annoyances I have with WAR resource management and such, so it's pretty good.
Before the endwalker stuff was shown, i was really keen on going Paladin (i've been a warrior main for ages). But those warrior changes look SOOOOO nice to play. So it's Unlimited blade works VS Berserker at this point lol
Everyone likes gnb but i see very few warriors out in the wild nowadays and i have to say i prefer warrior. Gnb has higher dps over a longer period of time but warriors have insane burst damages within inner release that can easily be timed with party buffs.
I'm going to main warrior, it's changes just made it a better version of its shadowbringers version. In saying that though paladin is looking good in endwalker
So, DRK, the one with the least self healing still has the panic button that's most reliant on an outside source... Feels like they get the least in this expansion.
I’m excited for all of the tanks, but man. Making onslaught and zeal (i think, I never use it) cost no resource and giving me more fell cleaves? HELL YEAH
Warrior is just looking absolutely busted rn. I thought for sure it would get nerfed in its healing buy it got way stronger. Bloodwhetting is absolutely insane, equilibrium getting a HoT and the other QoL updates are nuts
i’ll would argue that the self healing from Nascent flash got nerfed, but at least raw intuition is usable now (aka the amazing new blood whetting) we’ll have to wait and see what the finalized values are, maybe the fixed potency of healing is good and i’m just overreacting ^^
@@goldenhardt750 it definitely didn't get nerfed, I think it got massively buffed to the point where I didn't even believe it until I looked. Nascent flash (right now) heals you for 50% of your damage, so 50% potency Bloodwhetting and raw heals you for 400 potency for everything you hit. There are 3 abilities currently in warriors kit that have over 400 potency (not including combo potency) and they're all single target. That being upheaval, fell cleave and inner chaos, under nascent flash upheaval heals 225 potency, fell cleave heals 290 potency, and inner chaos heals 460 potency. So the only thing in warriors kit that heals over 400 potency is inner chaos at 460 which is single target. And you get at most 2 hits out of it. (Chaotic cyclone is only 200 potency so 100 potency healing under nascent flash, and of course we acknowledge crit direct hit) But under bloodwhetting and raw intuition, EVERY hit you land on all enemies heals you 400 potency no matter what. This can also be applied with crit direct hit from primal rend or inner release with decimate or inner chaos . Warriors healing got massively buffed man, almost doubled by these numbers. I cannot fathom how it can be viewed in any other way.
@@StayNightGaming is it confirmed that you get 400 potency healing for every single enemy you hit with your aoe? if so then I agree, hitting 9-12 enemies with any aoe will give at least 3600 potency heal to the warrior, that’s more powerful than benediction and you get it 3x times lol edit: not that it would change anything now that I think about, current Warrior is unkillable during the nascent flash window when pulling wall to wall…
I love DRK really, but i play GNB in EW, TBN is strong yes but you allways risk a ogcd, and the reworked shortdefs like Schiltron way more better because strong effects and "press and forget"
From my own stab in the dark is because Blood Weapon is supposed to be the same mini buff for DRK as things like Fight or Flight, Beserk, No Mercy. For the other 3 tanks seeing as the intent of it is to squeeze in as many GCDs in to get your mana back to hit your bigger damage GCDs Flood/Edge of Shadow/Darkness, which would be fine...if their Defense GCD equivalent of Sheltron, Nascent flash, etc being TBN Also requiring your mana on the condition that you get your damage GCD for free IF it breaks.
Aside from people popping it before pulls in order to maximise uptime on it, I honestly don't know. It just adds to the pile of shit that makes DRK mains like me opt to just not level the job.
@@Cervarius_K I'm pretty new to DRK personally. It just seems strange to move Delirium from duration based to charge based, but not Blood Weapon. Both being duration based seems to incentivize lowering your GCD. Moving one off of that model just seems to say you should still lower GCD, but get less benefit out of it. It makes more sense to me to change Blood Weapon to work on the next 5 weaponskills or spells, with a 20-30 sec window to use it.
@@LordNeltharion you're right, but the problem with blood weapon over all those is that everything else is a potency increase for everything while bw only affects the gcd which make it really bad under a duration.
@@Jay-mx5ky Exactly, I am just taking a guess what the developers are using it as in comparison to the other tanks since they all have similar buttons with different appearances and niche uses. I am well aware BW is complete garbage in comparison to the other 3 just being a damage buff.
I think I am going to main WAR , it’s been back and forth between GNB , And it’s especially hard now WAR dps/burst damage and sustainability got way better and bloodwhetter looks insane , and for gnb the changes to cartridge being one button and it’s defensive and healing got better it’s insane. But I berely see any warriors around mostly GNB players and then PLD .
I will be going PLD main as my return to tanking after 2 years of not doing it. Mainly because it just feels right ending the saga as a PLD in my FF1 Glamour (with Excalibur and Aegis Shield)!
I'm not switching from Paladin and Warrior with a little Dark Knight here and there, but Paladin has been my main for a while now and I don't see myself changing anytime soon.
Since ARR days, I always told my group of friends that if we ever got a gunblade job, I’d main it forever. It’s just getting even better going forward.
Everyone goes for DRK but my god GNB is fun, flashy, and basically is also DPS, out damaging the others by a fair amount. When you get the continuation combo, you watch mini boss health bars melt in seconds
Yep, whats the point of playing Dark Knight? Absolute awful tank and a bunch of ogcds only to have a lower dps than the other tanks. What do we get? MORE ogcds! I ain't levelling Dark Knight in Endwalker till they actually give it some love, boring traits and all won't help.
I'm gonna go with Warrior in Endwalker. I was originally gonna go with Dark knight, I like how it plays now, but it seems warrior is just better, it has better self heal and all that. I know Paladin looks strong, but just like Paladin in WoW, I'm not a fan of how it looks, its way too flashy. Gunbreaker seems to have a skill duration defect, No mercy should be longer so you fit more abilities into it. if they made it 5 seconds longer, you could fit that last ability into it (technically 3.5 seconds longer, but lets say 5), for more info watch Xeno's Gunbreaker rant video. I'm going to level up all the tanks, but I will main warrior and my dps alt job will be Machinist.
Don't sugarcoat it, DRK has nothing xD "It still has TBN" is basically all there is to it. Abyssal Drain heals nothing, even in big pulls it's one cast. Even TBN isn't that good anymore. Regarding its damage rotation, it is only busy in opener, i'd even say it is way too packed. While it then does nothing but 1 2 3 and occasional Edge for almost a minute afterward.
Also TBN pales in comparison to the newly upgraded tank CDs. Bloodwhetting on WAR, Heart of Corundum on GNB, and Holy Sheltron on PLD. None of these cost Mana or have any kind of opportunity cost for damage like TBN does for Edge of Shadow unless it's shield breaks. The other tanks newly equivalent defensive CDs cost nothing aside from Holy Sheltron, and even that only shares it's job gauge usage with Intervention and Cover. Also, these CDs are only 25s (or 5s for Holy Sheltron) cooldowns while TBN is 15 and also costs 3k MP.
@@Mura-723 The -10s on TBN also have very little value, you very rarely need TBN twice in the same minute. If if you're low on mana, well...given your slow AF regen, the CD might actually be more than that. Just make TBN cost 20s of DarkSide (after all, that's what protects you) and give like...1500MP and 25Blood when breaking or something. Have blood skills give mana, mana skills give darkside, darkside skills give both.
the game has some really good PvE elements, music, zones bosses, story.. but its not a complete game lack of social features like chat bubbles, smaller nameplates aka small text font size option (last time I checked there was only normal and big option=) and no vocie chat. you have an outdated combat and subscription model with convoluted login/register/buy game systems. u lack social and PvP updates. u lack innovation. u don't even wanna complete game. u don't combine PvE elements with PvP. like open world raid bosses where players and guilds would fight to contest them. they could drop epic mounts. or exp/gear tokens that could be 1 alternative to story progression. or the ability to tame open world monsters as your mount. but most good mounts are locked behind a paywall or insane grind. u don't have Frontline sound or graphic notification. the lack of PvP mounts/events/quests. u only care about PvE and story players.u focus on shemale model instead of updating your game lol. also no blue mage in PVP (most good MMORPG animations main character is classless class. from Kirito to the main character in the Kings avatar animation. u don't have a single good 4v4 map like Heavens Arena from the King's avatar. FFXIV community could learn a lot from the Kings Avatar animation from Tencent. your combat too. 20 years behind. no skillshots or dodges, not even hybrid action combat like gw2, let alone true action combat like smite or Vindictus...2.5s global cooldown time with tab target combat in 2021... and they thought they are gonna solve the issues of combat by just adding crazy animations...but that cluttered the game and now they cannot even lower global cd time because of that. lack of social interaction. because u only have chat box that gets spammed whole day and emotes. emotes are nice but feel like u also need chat bubbles or voice chat. games 15 years ago successfully implemented chat bubbles. also new players cannot their content on ffxiv reddit, u have blocked comments on your FFXIV promotion videos so people cannot discuss it.... you take people that care for the game and complain as "toxic"... the game lack social and PVP updates? doesn't have chat bubbles (you only look at chat box whole day which sux), smaller nameplates aka text font size option, voice chat, good 4v4 Arena style map like Heavens Arena from the King's Avatar animation, no frontline popout sound notification, outdated combat and subscription model, convoluted login/register system (cant even use afna at launcher reset password confirm email box), no blue mage in PVP, lack of innovations such combining already good PvE elements with PVP such as open-world raid bosses where players and guild fight to contest said bosses? compete for the boss. they could drop epic mounts o exp/gear tokens which could be a great alternative to story leveling. new players cannot share their content on ffxiv reddit... doesn't change the fac the game has 500 ms animation lock + 2.5s global cd tab targeting combat. 20 years behind. they thought they will fix the combat by adding crazy animations, but that also just cluttered the game. mybe they could lower global cd to 2 second but anything lower hard because crazy animations. but the core problem si still there. tab targeting combat. not even hybrid action combat with skillshots and dodges. elt alone true action combat like Smite, Vindictus r the Kings Avatar animation. WoW TBC, for example, ahs bunch of instant casts too but only 1 second global cd. also wow tbc has chat bubbles and voice chat... ffxiv only has emotes and chat box. and it sux watching into chat bo whole day that get spammed. it is not socially interactive. or actually good 4v4 map like heavens Arena from the Kings Avatar or open-world raid bosses where players and guild could fight to contest them....or ability to tame open world monsters as your mount....innovate....more PVP events/rewards/mounts, combine PvE and PVP elements... and ffxiv community often mix competitive spirit and rivallry with toxicity
Why is everyone missing the new 10% mitigation with 2 charges on a 60sec CD? Lvl 90 DRK is gonna be stupidly tanky, not to mention it can be used on allies.
@@Pleyway So is Intervention, Nascent Flash, Heart of Corundum. And all have more interresting effect than 10% mitigation. It is bland, uninspired and lackluster. Using it with TBN is counterproductive since you *want* TBN to break to not lose on damage. TBN has to be reworked, Dark Art proc turned out to be a bad idea as it is.
Paladin & Warrior will be best. So much self-healing, more defensive buffs, all round super strong. DRK got the crapstick, no good defensives, no new self-heals. GBN got some nice changes. Overall, PLD & WAR are looking very very OP. Edit: Ppl hype about TBN on DRK are in for rude awakening when they realize the HP pools and stat squish basically turn a 50K TBN down to like 20K. A warrior self-heal will do more than that.
Well GNB is still my favorite job in general, but I'll be using PLD for the story for... pretty obvious reason but dang they really did just give GNB the strongest attack in the game
As a shield addict, really happy that PLD is the poster boy for Endwalker. Kinda surprised about the potency loss for Clemency (so far.. might change before release), but the mini heals and regens granted by offensive and defensive skills might make up for it. And if all else fails, there's always Hallowed Ground... unless that fails too.
@@alchemi8085 nothing that warrior got makes up for them gutting nascent flash lol, idk what universe you are in but a 400 potency heal with a small shield does not, and will not, ever heal for more than 100% of the dmg of 2 crit+direct hit inner chaos for like 90k dmg each, if you think some piddly 400 potency heal is going to do 180k+ healing(adjust for the stat squish ofc) then idk what to tell you lol, nothing else i saw would make up for that either
@@zeening I’m not sure what the big issue is and I’m a WAR/PLD main. The Paladin got MORE than enough to make up for the 200 potency loss from Clemency, something we barely use anyway unless something is going really wrong. Now we have constant heals rolling in and can easily vie for MT. Yeah the nerf to Nascent Flash is pretty big, but it was semi broken to begin with. Having practically an invuln for large groups and a Benediction on a 25sec CD was busted. Fun as hell yeah but busted. The added heals and shields to Shake It Off, Bloodwhetting, and Equilibrium definitely balance it off. Just one Bloodwhetting is 1600 potency. Big monies.
I won't lie. When the first trailer for Endwalker showed the Warrior of Light as a Paladin, I knew great changes were coming to that class. I have a female, dark, edgy Au'Ra dedicated to Dragoon, Dark Knight and Astrologian, and I plan to get Summoner too, not to mention Reaper is a must as soon as Endwalker comes out. I'll be the Edgewalker by then.
I always thought to myself drk dosen't have self healing because of tbn giving them an edge on the others in defense but than they gave all other tanks a cd that's on par or even stronger then tbn that comes for absolutly free and buffed self sustine and buffed invul, so what did they give drk knight? Living dead being as shitty as ever, tbn still requiring mana and 0 self sustine! Like REALLY????
I mean I can heal just fine I barley wipe or die while using my main... however living dead is not even on my hot bars 😂 I used to use it as a rick roll to sprout healers to get a laugh lol
I would be playing GNB but the male weapon pose looks goofy :( wish we could switch to female pose. Have pally at 80 but warrior and drk is so much more fun imo, and both are under 70 too
I started tanking in shadowbringers and war quickly became my favorite tank class, I got my armored bear mount and now I’ll move on to either gnb or pld, not sure which yet. I have a feeling I’ll still be playing a lot of my war though
Only idea I have to help with Living Dead would be to make the activation window a low health threshold instead of lethal damage. So instead of it activating when your health hits 0%, have it activate when your health drops below 25% with the buff active. Idk, just food for thought.
That doesnt fix the issue of being required to heal up to 100% In fact that probably would make it worse. Depending on the encounter it might pop prematurely and end up killing you anyway.
I will be switching off DRK in EW if they leave it like this. One of SE's biggest issues nobody in this new wave understands yet is that really obvious mistakes like this get pointed out by content creators every time and they never do anything about it before release. It takes them a year or longer to get around to any of this stuff and I'm not up for waiting like that again.
I recently gave tanking a try for the first time. Started as gladiator and went into paladin. Thinking I'm going to main that through endwalker. It fits my playstyle as a support and I can look like a valkerie.
I'm having the same feelings with Warrior like I had with some particular tank spec in Warcraft which was always compared to my favourite and I wanted to quit many times cause of that 'passion' for meta. At least no one has told me yet to drop Dark Knight. xP
It's a non-issue. Paladins are getting healing that more than compensates that 200 potency loss. And clemency uses a GCD. The other healing we're getting will come naturally through our rotation.
Shadowbringers made DRK a brainless face on keyboard exercise like WAR and now they're sticking to their guns even harder. DRK is dead to me. Onwards to GNB I guess. The more they dumb down tanking the more I want to swap to DPS.
I'm still maining Dark Knight, just like I did in Shadowbringers! I can't wait to play, though I wish they could add something to make Blood Weapon better. I hate that it has such a short timer. I do have Gunbreaker is my secondary tank too. :)
why is living dead much worde than superbolide? both need the healer to heal basically your full hp bar. living dead is a bit more of a pain, but is harder to fuck up as the tank (in my very inexperienced and bad player perspective).
But it makes a clear difference that you need to be healed up by another Player 100%. GNB can do that with Aurora or now with Heart of Corundum as well
Superbolide drops you to 1HP (a flaw less noticable the less HP you have) But for it's 8 second duration you take no damage, giving you max value from any heal, yours or external (plus so long as it ends with sufficient HP you're good) Living Dead stops you at 1 HP, but does not block damage _at all_ (so any healing still competes with incoming damage) and will kill you if you don't hit 100%, and since DRK has the least self heals, you're very dependent on the party catching on and focus-healing you successfully
I so want to switch to PLD (I love the aesthetic and the new skills), but after trying again and again, I just can't get the rotation down. I mean, I'm fine on a dummy, but once I get into combat and have to disengage or move for a mechanic, I just get so confused and can never get my rotation back. People say it's the easiest but of all the tanks, it's the one I just can't do. Looks like I'll be doing GNB in EW.
Sometimes your rotation may get broken. All you have to do is just continue. Make sure goring blade dot is always up in single target situations, and when it is, use Royal A. Other than that, just make sure you dont overlap FoF with Req and youre good
I MUST play paladin in Endwalker. At least if I want continue, to play the official class from the WoL in each trailer. In ARR, I played Warrior, in heavensward Dragoon, in Stormblood Samurai and in Shadowbringer Dark Knight.
Holy Sheltron doing 35% Mitigation + Free Clemency Heals every 20 Secs sounds more interesting to me than TBN that i can only use on Tank Busters otherwise it's a DPS Loss 🤔.
Every other tank (Even Reaper and Sage) has a better TBN and the tanks don't need to worry about using mp for it either. The only ones that are even gonna play Drk in Endwalker are comedians doing plunge + unmend rotation and the rest still sniffing on that copium.
WAR will be the best tank by far. Amazing how the players of this game can't judge blatant good design when they see it lol. All hype with flashy abilities or buzzwords to make them feel powerful. Look people WARs changes are STUPIDLY good. Remember WAR is still the only tank that can heal on demand in any situation at any time, without sacrificing their rotation or any damage ability. On top of which they will still heal on every target hit. Amazing how a change to their nascent caused everyone to panic and even when they realise it will still hit all targets, but just not scaled off their damage and they call it a nerf, when you could argue it got SIGNIFICANTLY buffed. Any AoE can heal you now, even overpower. So an overpower on a wall to wall pull of 8 enemies will heal you 3200 potency. On top of which, with the 8 sec duration, you can now get 4 abilities off with bloodwhetting. So doing your basic AoE rotation on 8 enemies in a wall to wall could heal you 14400 potency. People choose not think nowadays. There are obvious problems with GNB, in fact BIG problems. PLD deffo improved, but their kit as a whole is too circumstancial and restrictive.
Problem is, all these skills are delivered too late. Leveling a different class? You've got hours of gameplay before you get these 'fixes'. Syncing some content? You lose all the fixes till you're done...
Dark Knight unlocked the Reaper trait and changes jobs.
For real though xD
I've finally decided to pick up tanking before Endwalker and started with Paladin, so this is a convenient upload!
Great choice. It's the canonical derplander.
You'll see it's tons of fun and I say it as a healer main with tanking on th side
I started the game with gladiator and then switched around dark knight and gunbreaker as I played the expansions, but I can think of no better way to bring the end than with a return to paladin
I started in June, leveled PLD to 66 then went fully to GNB. But they have awful glamours in terms of weapons. I went back to PLD and it’s honestly more fun to play.

Hmm... If Blood Weapon held charges instead of working off a short timer, that'd be great.
Like 20 second, 5 charges. Thatd be amazing
and if it gave healing with 200 potency per attack
Absolutely !
they just made adjustments for tomorrow :)
@@RonJon2012 I forgot I said this. So glad it's gonna be 15 seconds with 5 charges.
Fell in love with GNB once I got to SB and my love is ever stronger after SHB. These changes will definitely spice things up. WAR was the last tank and job I maxed because I felt like it wouldn't be that fun to play. I was dead wrong and now it's my 2nd favorite Tank.

As for DRK, it WAS my favorite tank till I found GNB. I honestly probably wasn't playing it right, but DRK felt so slow and sluggish (Especially now after GNB) and I couldn't really grasp what I was accomplishing with all the button pressing while other buttons like unmend and living dead were collecting dust. I really want DRK to be and feel amazing, even if I'm the only one that thinks it isn't right now. Ftr I started late last year and I hear DRK was much better in HW.
TL;DR Gunbreaker and I are married and Warrior is our side piece. 🤣
I began this journey as a Warrior, and I will end it as a Warrior! 😤
Like everyone will be playing PLD but for real, the WAR self-sustain just makes you feel like a complete badass. I just feel like a God of War with WAR :D
Full on man mode!
I started being a marauder or whatever it's called, but at level 15 I switched to gladiator, nad I will stay as main PLD forever.
As someone leveling gunbreaker for the first time, them putting the three-part cartridge combo into one button is huge for me. GNB right now just has way too much button clutter, and is especially clunky with continuation.
Yesterday i unlocked GNB and i have to say, Sonic Break feels so strange, like, It's a GCD with 60sec cd that you only use on the No Mercy window, and i see the same will happen with Double Down and idk how to feel about that lmao. Imo they should make Sonic Break an OGCD and Double Down i guess i can understand being a GCD having it uses cartridges lol
Yeah it feels good as an off tank but as soon as I have to pop a defensive while also needing to use my ogcd dps skill, it becomes weird. Plus I have to be so much more busy with my ogcds for not really much more damage than other tanks and it just feels awkward and excessive. Worried about it in EW. Same with aurora. Yet another ogcd I gotta weave. What if I need to hit aurora when I'm using continuation or a defensive? Just wait until I have a free spot? Then I may not need aurora. It's weird that the jobs healing is tied to it so much. I think aurora should be baked into another skill and also a shorter duration with a higher potency.
Sonic break is clunky filler and only used in no mercy and I honestly thought it was going to be removed going into this xpac. Double down use negates getting more ammo and makes it sorta less fun got ammo imo.
Yeah get used to the clunkiness cause, them putting continuation after burst strike is gonna make it even more clunky since continuation is a forced oGCD.
@@Kiobao You guys can't doubleweave? Bad ping? I for one am glad Xenos is so vocal about how bat he thinks GNB is. It means I get to be the special little snowflake that i prefer to be! =)
@@ofcatarina roughly 120 ping sadly. Clips. Either way. More effort than most other tanks for the dps as well as the healing.
I'm switching from DRK to WAR, if no further changes are coming.
EW basically fixes all the annoyances I have with WAR resource management and such, so it's pretty good.
Before the endwalker stuff was shown, i was really keen on going Paladin (i've been a warrior main for ages). But those warrior changes look SOOOOO nice to play. So it's Unlimited blade works VS Berserker at this point lol
I'm just getting into tanking as a dps main that plays healer a ton as well and I'm most excited about GNB and PLD.
Heart of corundum looks stupid good but so dose paladin’s kit as a whole
Everyone likes gnb but i see very few warriors out in the wild nowadays and i have to say i prefer warrior. Gnb has higher dps over a longer period of time but warriors have insane burst damages within inner release that can easily be timed with party buffs.
I'm going to main warrior, it's changes just made it a better version of its shadowbringers version. In saying that though paladin is looking good in endwalker
Marauder best tank because endwalker takes place on the moon and the moon is a rock.
As a GNB main, I'm getting everything I wanted and more this expansion. So hyped for Endwalker
Same, isn't it great how everyone is going around parroting Xeno's opinion of the class? We'll be the only ones playing it lol
@@ofcatarina I feel like other tanks hate on GNB because it's a bit harder to play properly and more punishing than WAR and PLD.
@@Zenith118 I asked for 1 thing in EW- more reasons to click Continuation
So lock & load baby! This is going to get fun
I am the bone of my sword, steel is my body and fire is my blood!
So, DRK, the one with the least self healing still has the panic button that's most reliant on an outside source... Feels like they get the least in this expansion.
DRK got shafted
That Tortage theme song.....
Still the best starting area ever made for a MMO.
The best tank is the one i think is most fun to play and i will judge that myself when the time comes.
The gnb aoe damage is nutty.
I’m excited for all of the tanks, but man. Making onslaught and zeal (i think, I never use it) cost no resource and giving me more fell cleaves? HELL YEAH
I play gnb because I want to dps as a tank
I started playing as a PLD and im going into endwalker as one!
Warrior is just looking absolutely busted rn. I thought for sure it would get nerfed in its healing buy it got way stronger. Bloodwhetting is absolutely insane, equilibrium getting a HoT and the other QoL updates are nuts
Strong self healing almost always been war thing
@@PuntOMancer0666 Not only strong self-healing and shorter invuln, but also insane burst dps. Warriors are invincible killing machines lol.
i’ll would argue that the self healing from Nascent flash got nerfed, but at least raw intuition is usable now (aka the amazing new blood whetting)
we’ll have to wait and see what the finalized values are, maybe the fixed potency of healing is good and i’m just overreacting ^^
@@goldenhardt750 it definitely didn't get nerfed, I think it got massively buffed to the point where I didn't even believe it until I looked.
Nascent flash (right now) heals you for 50% of your damage, so 50% potency
Bloodwhetting and raw heals you for 400 potency for everything you hit.
There are 3 abilities currently in warriors kit that have over 400 potency (not including combo potency) and they're all single target. That being upheaval, fell cleave and inner chaos, under nascent flash upheaval heals 225 potency, fell cleave heals 290 potency, and inner chaos heals 460 potency.
So the only thing in warriors kit that heals over 400 potency is inner chaos at 460 which is single target. And you get at most 2 hits out of it.
(Chaotic cyclone is only 200 potency so 100 potency healing under nascent flash, and of course we acknowledge crit direct hit)
But under bloodwhetting and raw intuition, EVERY hit you land on all enemies heals you 400 potency no matter what. This can also be applied with crit direct hit from primal rend or inner release with decimate or inner chaos .
Warriors healing got massively buffed man, almost doubled by these numbers. I cannot fathom how it can be viewed in any other way.
@@StayNightGaming is it confirmed that you get 400 potency healing for every single enemy you hit with your aoe?
if so then I agree, hitting 9-12 enemies with any aoe will give at least 3600 potency heal to the warrior, that’s more powerful than benediction and you get it 3x times lol
edit: not that it would change anything now that I think about, current Warrior is unkillable during the nascent flash window when pulling wall to wall…
FF IV vibes, so start as DRK and on the middle of exp change to PLD
I love DRK really, but i play GNB in EW, TBN is strong yes but you allways risk a ogcd, and the reworked shortdefs like Schiltron way more better because strong effects and "press and forget"
I find it strange that they're changing Delirium to work on a charge based system, but leaving Blood Weapon the way it is.
From my own stab in the dark is because Blood Weapon is supposed to be the same mini buff for DRK as things like Fight or Flight, Beserk, No Mercy. For the other 3 tanks seeing as the intent of it is to squeeze in as many GCDs in to get your mana back to hit your bigger damage GCDs Flood/Edge of Shadow/Darkness, which would be fine...if their Defense GCD equivalent of Sheltron, Nascent flash, etc being TBN Also requiring your mana on the condition that you get your damage GCD for free IF it breaks.
Aside from people popping it before pulls in order to maximise uptime on it, I honestly don't know. It just adds to the pile of shit that makes DRK mains like me opt to just not level the job.
@@Cervarius_K I'm pretty new to DRK personally. It just seems strange to move Delirium from duration based to charge based, but not Blood Weapon. Both being duration based seems to incentivize lowering your GCD. Moving one off of that model just seems to say you should still lower GCD, but get less benefit out of it. It makes more sense to me to change Blood Weapon to work on the next 5 weaponskills or spells, with a 20-30 sec window to use it.
@@LordNeltharion you're right, but the problem with blood weapon over all those is that everything else is a potency increase for everything while bw only affects the gcd which make it really bad under a duration.
@@Jay-mx5ky Exactly, I am just taking a guess what the developers are using it as in comparison to the other tanks since they all have similar buttons with different appearances and niche uses. I am well aware BW is complete garbage in comparison to the other 3 just being a damage buff.
I think I am going to main WAR , it’s been back and forth between GNB , And it’s especially hard now WAR dps/burst damage and sustainability got way better and bloodwhetter looks insane , and for gnb the changes to cartridge being one button and it’s defensive and healing got better it’s insane. But I berely see any warriors around mostly GNB players and then PLD .
I will be going PLD main as my return to tanking after 2 years of not doing it. Mainly because it just feels right ending the saga as a PLD in my FF1 Glamour (with Excalibur and Aegis Shield)!
I'm not switching from Paladin and Warrior with a little Dark Knight here and there, but Paladin has been my main for a while now and I don't see myself changing anytime soon.
PLD is everyone's main now apparently 😂
@@gregsupaki not mine dead last on tanks for me
I already know everything, I still insta clicked the video because I like them.
I'm happy everytime I hear a legend of mana song as well
Drk always had the worst invul yet insted of buffing it they buffed the others??? And left living dead with no changes??? Really???
I played warrior all the way from arr and I'll keep playing warrior lmao
GnB defensive giving it a 30% reduction and an excog. I fell makes it simply to powerful to ignore when it comes time to pick slots.
War and pld have essentially the same thing with flavors
Since ARR days, I always told my group of friends that if we ever got a gunblade job, I’d main it forever. It’s just getting even better going forward.
Everyone goes for DRK but my god GNB is fun, flashy, and basically is also DPS, out damaging the others by a fair amount. When you get the continuation combo, you watch mini boss health bars melt in seconds
People are going for drk? I mostly see people disappointed with it for ew. Im even decided to ditch it for pld or gnb in ew.
Yep, whats the point of playing Dark Knight? Absolute awful tank and a bunch of ogcds only to have a lower dps than the other tanks. What do we get? MORE ogcds! I ain't levelling Dark Knight in Endwalker till they actually give it some love, boring traits and all won't help.
Not me lol i love my paladin and after seeing the action job for it, im super hyped!
@@RaynexD Paladin is so fun and I fkin loooove the new looks on some of the moves as well as the new stuff 😍
@@TyrantotnaryT Then don't play it. You seem pretty lovable about Warrior. Play Warrior and be happy.
I'm gonna go with Warrior in Endwalker. I was originally gonna go with Dark knight, I like how it plays now, but it seems warrior is just better, it has better self heal and all that. I know Paladin looks strong, but just like Paladin in WoW, I'm not a fan of how it looks, its way too flashy. Gunbreaker seems to have a skill duration defect, No mercy should be longer so you fit more abilities into it. if they made it 5 seconds longer, you could fit that last ability into it (technically 3.5 seconds longer, but lets say 5), for more info watch Xeno's Gunbreaker rant video. I'm going to level up all the tanks, but I will main warrior and my dps alt job will be Machinist.
Gotta go with the posterboy. Paladin all the way.
Don't sugarcoat it, DRK has nothing xD "It still has TBN" is basically all there is to it. Abyssal Drain heals nothing, even in big pulls it's one cast.
Even TBN isn't that good anymore.
Regarding its damage rotation, it is only busy in opener, i'd even say it is way too packed. While it then does nothing but 1 2 3 and occasional Edge for almost a minute afterward.
Also TBN pales in comparison to the newly upgraded tank CDs. Bloodwhetting on WAR, Heart of Corundum on GNB, and Holy Sheltron on PLD. None of these cost Mana or have any kind of opportunity cost for damage like TBN does for Edge of Shadow unless it's shield breaks. The other tanks newly equivalent defensive CDs cost nothing aside from Holy Sheltron, and even that only shares it's job gauge usage with Intervention and Cover. Also, these CDs are only 25s (or 5s for Holy Sheltron) cooldowns while TBN is 15 and also costs 3k MP.
@@Mura-723 The -10s on TBN also have very little value, you very rarely need TBN twice in the same minute.
If if you're low on mana, well...given your slow AF regen, the CD might actually be more than that.
Just make TBN cost 20s of DarkSide (after all, that's what protects you) and give like...1500MP and 25Blood when breaking or something. Have blood skills give mana, mana skills give darkside, darkside skills give both.
the game has some really good PvE elements, music, zones bosses, story.. but its not a complete game
lack of social features like chat bubbles, smaller nameplates aka small text font size option (last time I checked there was only normal and big option=) and no vocie chat. you have an outdated combat and subscription model with convoluted login/register/buy game systems. u lack social and PvP updates. u lack innovation. u don't even wanna complete game. u don't combine PvE elements with PvP. like open world raid bosses where players and guilds would fight to contest them. they could drop epic mounts. or exp/gear tokens that could be 1 alternative to story progression. or the ability to tame open world monsters as your mount. but most good mounts are locked behind a paywall or insane grind. u don't have Frontline sound or graphic notification. the lack of PvP mounts/events/quests. u only care about PvE and story players.u focus on shemale model instead of updating your game lol. also no blue mage in PVP (most good MMORPG animations main character is classless class. from Kirito to the main character in the Kings avatar animation. u don't have a single good 4v4 map like Heavens Arena from the King's avatar. FFXIV community could learn a lot from the Kings Avatar animation from Tencent. your combat too. 20 years behind. no skillshots or dodges, not even hybrid action combat like gw2, let alone true action combat like smite or Vindictus...2.5s global cooldown time with tab target combat in 2021... and they thought they are gonna solve the issues of combat by just adding crazy animations...but that cluttered the game and now they cannot even lower global cd time because of that. lack of social interaction. because u only have chat box that gets spammed whole day and emotes. emotes are nice but feel like u also need chat bubbles or voice chat. games 15 years ago successfully implemented chat bubbles. also new players cannot their content on ffxiv reddit, u have blocked comments on your FFXIV promotion videos so people cannot discuss it.... you take people that care for the game and complain as "toxic"...
the game lack social and PVP updates? doesn't have chat bubbles (you only look at chat box whole day which sux), smaller nameplates aka text font size option, voice chat, good 4v4 Arena style map like Heavens Arena from the King's Avatar animation, no frontline popout sound notification, outdated combat and subscription model, convoluted login/register system (cant even use afna at launcher reset password confirm email box), no blue mage in PVP, lack of innovations such combining already good PvE elements with PVP such as open-world raid bosses where players and guild fight to contest said bosses? compete for the boss. they could drop epic mounts o exp/gear tokens which could be a great alternative to story leveling. new players cannot share their content on ffxiv reddit...
doesn't change the fac the game has 500 ms animation lock + 2.5s global cd tab targeting combat. 20 years behind. they thought they will fix the combat by adding crazy animations, but that also just cluttered the game. mybe they could lower global cd to 2 second but anything lower hard because crazy animations. but the core problem si still there. tab targeting combat. not even hybrid action combat with skillshots and dodges. elt alone true action combat like Smite, Vindictus r the Kings Avatar animation. WoW TBC, for example, ahs bunch of instant casts too but only 1 second global cd. also wow tbc has chat bubbles and voice chat... ffxiv only has emotes and chat box. and it sux watching into chat bo whole day that get spammed. it is not socially interactive. or actually good 4v4 map like heavens Arena from the Kings Avatar or open-world raid bosses where players and guild could fight to contest them....or ability to tame open world monsters as your mount....innovate....more PVP events/rewards/mounts, combine PvE and PVP elements... and ffxiv community often mix competitive spirit and rivallry with toxicity
Why is everyone missing the new 10% mitigation with 2 charges on a 60sec CD?
Lvl 90 DRK is gonna be stupidly tanky, not to mention it can be used on allies.
@@Pleyway So is Intervention, Nascent Flash, Heart of Corundum. And all have more interresting effect than 10% mitigation.
It is bland, uninspired and lackluster. Using it with TBN is counterproductive since you *want* TBN to break to not lose on damage.
TBN has to be reworked, Dark Art proc turned out to be a bad idea as it is.
More Legend of Mana music. Great taste my friend
My pally that has carried me since the game came out...
Rip drk
What tank will you use?
Me as a tank main and 1 dps.
All of them.
Paladin & Warrior will be best. So much self-healing, more defensive buffs, all round super strong. DRK got the crapstick, no good defensives, no new self-heals. GBN got some nice changes. Overall, PLD & WAR are looking very very OP.
Edit: Ppl hype about TBN on DRK are in for rude awakening when they realize the HP pools and stat squish basically turn a 50K TBN down to like 20K. A warrior self-heal will do more than that.
Well GNB is still my favorite job in general, but I'll be using PLD for the story for... pretty obvious reason
but dang they really did just give GNB the strongest attack in the game
Warrior for life
Before I watch this video, lemme tell you it's definitely not DRK. Yup love how SE gives us nothing 😍
I'll never leave my Gunbreaker!
PLD for life.
Dark knight mains got shafted hard this expansion…..
PLD #1!!!
As a shield addict, really happy that PLD is the poster boy for Endwalker.
Kinda surprised about the potency loss for Clemency (so far.. might change before release), but the mini heals and regens granted by offensive and defensive skills might make up for it.
And if all else fails, there's always Hallowed Ground... unless that fails too.
yeah the potency loss on clemency and especially that fucking MASSIVE nerf to warriors self healing is beyond fcking stupid
@@zeening PLD and WAR healing both got buffed overall. You should look at their kits a little more closely.
@@alchemi8085 nothing that warrior got makes up for them gutting nascent flash lol, idk what universe you are in but a 400 potency heal with a small shield does not, and will not, ever heal for more than 100% of the dmg of 2 crit+direct hit inner chaos for like 90k dmg each, if you think some piddly 400 potency heal is going to do 180k+ healing(adjust for the stat squish ofc) then idk what to tell you lol, nothing else i saw would make up for that either
@@zeening I’m not sure what the big issue is and I’m a WAR/PLD main. The Paladin got MORE than enough to make up for the 200 potency loss from Clemency, something we barely use anyway unless something is going really wrong. Now we have constant heals rolling in and can easily vie for MT.
Yeah the nerf to Nascent Flash is pretty big, but it was semi broken to begin with. Having practically an invuln for large groups and a Benediction on a 25sec CD was busted. Fun as hell yeah but busted. The added heals and shields to Shake It Off, Bloodwhetting, and Equilibrium definitely balance it off. Just one Bloodwhetting is 1600 potency. Big monies.
Just started the video in an advertisement so I’m saying GNB
any tank but DRK, because its obvious sqenix does not care about that job with these "changes." Enhanced unmend....
I won't lie. When the first trailer for Endwalker showed the Warrior of Light as a Paladin, I knew great changes were coming to that class. I have a female, dark, edgy Au'Ra dedicated to Dragoon, Dark Knight and Astrologian, and I plan to get Summoner too, not to mention Reaper is a must as soon as Endwalker comes out.
I'll be the Edgewalker by then.
Im old school paladin in shiny armor on the moon seems fitting. FuSoYa better be there though or I aint going lol maybe even a whale ship.
Only 1 job can use their face to block tankbusters.
Didn't watch the video. My smooth brain just wanted to post Warrior!
I always thought to myself drk dosen't have self healing because of tbn giving them an edge on the others in defense but than they gave all other tanks a cd that's on par or even stronger then tbn that comes for absolutly free and buffed self sustine and buffed invul, so what did they give drk knight? Living dead being as shitty as ever, tbn still requiring mana and 0 self sustine! Like REALLY????
I mean I can heal just fine I barley wipe or die while using my main... however living dead is not even on my hot bars 😂 I used to use it as a rick roll to sprout healers to get a laugh lol
I play everything...so everything it is for me lmao
Warrior its not even close
I would be playing GNB but the male weapon pose looks goofy :( wish we could switch to female pose. Have pally at 80 but warrior and drk is so much more fun imo, and both are under 70 too
I started tanking in shadowbringers and war quickly became my favorite tank class, I got my armored bear mount and now I’ll move on to either gnb or pld, not sure which yet. I have a feeling I’ll still be playing a lot of my war though
Only idea I have to help with Living Dead would be to make the activation window a low health threshold instead of lethal damage. So instead of it activating when your health hits 0%, have it activate when your health drops below 25% with the buff active. Idk, just food for thought.
and apply walking dead earlier? no thanks
That doesnt fix the issue of being required to heal up to 100%
In fact that probably would make it worse.
Depending on the encounter it might pop prematurely and end up killing you anyway.
I will be switching off DRK in EW if they leave it like this. One of SE's biggest issues nobody in this new wave understands yet is that really obvious mistakes like this get pointed out by content creators every time and they never do anything about it before release. It takes them a year or longer to get around to any of this stuff and I'm not up for waiting like that again.
Warrior is going to be broken good.
I’ll just stick with blue mage tank
I recently gave tanking a try for the first time. Started as gladiator and went into paladin. Thinking I'm going to main that through endwalker.
It fits my playstyle as a support and I can look like a valkerie.
I'm having the same feelings with Warrior like I had with some particular tank spec in Warcraft which was always compared to my favourite and I wanted to quit many times cause of that 'passion' for meta. At least no one has told me yet to drop Dark Knight. xP
Im staying paladin :D
Still need more damage
*They really had to go and Nerf Clemency?! what the hell?!*
It's a non-issue. Paladins are getting healing that more than compensates that 200 potency loss. And clemency uses a GCD. The other healing we're getting will come naturally through our rotation.
@@alchemi8085 My point it's a GCD which is already a huge deal breaker and you gonna get shat on for using it in parties SO WHY NERF IT?!
Shadowbringers made DRK a brainless face on keyboard exercise like WAR and now they're sticking to their guns even harder. DRK is dead to me. Onwards to GNB I guess. The more they dumb down tanking the more I want to swap to DPS.
I'm still maining Dark Knight, just like I did in Shadowbringers! I can't wait to play, though I wish they could add something to make Blood Weapon better. I hate that it has such a short timer. I do have Gunbreaker is my secondary tank too. :)
Just play a class what you like to play.
Gonna play gnb. If I suck it's the healers fault lol
If practiced, GNB is immortal! All hail GNB :)
Finished SHB as a GNB, but I am quite tempted to level my Paladin after playing Diakaiosyne's questline
der paladin karabiner im thumpnail xD kreativ :D
Hab sonst nur den default goldenen gefunden 😅
I main Warr tank cos I like 100% crits 😂
gunbreaker is best because of the memes
why is living dead much worde than superbolide? both need the healer to heal basically your full hp bar. living dead is a bit more of a pain, but is harder to fuck up as the tank (in my very inexperienced and bad player perspective).
But it makes a clear difference that you need to be healed up by another Player 100%. GNB can do that with Aurora or now with Heart of Corundum as well
Superbolide drops you to 1HP (a flaw less noticable the less HP you have)
But for it's 8 second duration you take no damage, giving you max value from any heal, yours or external (plus so long as it ends with sufficient HP you're good)
Living Dead stops you at 1 HP, but does not block damage _at all_ (so any healing still competes with incoming damage) and will kill you if you don't hit 100%, and since DRK has the least self heals, you're very dependent on the party catching on and focus-healing you successfully
Paladin without hesitation.
WAR seems kinda busted with this Changes..
Well good Thing that its my Main lol
Wait.....thats a Thinker eating UBW.....how am i just seeing this. Promy - Central Thanalan when?>
lol I see the cope on Dark Knight is real. Dark Knight sucks, deal with it.
Buff worrior
Spoiler alert: Paladin
Paladin was, is and will always be the best tank class. Unless if they add a heal like clemency to other tanks.
I'm a pally main and clemency was ez mode already but now holy magic gives some baby heals too 😬 I got to play my gnb now or it'll be too ez 😛
I so want to switch to PLD (I love the aesthetic and the new skills), but after trying again and again, I just can't get the rotation down. I mean, I'm fine on a dummy, but once I get into combat and have to disengage or move for a mechanic, I just get so confused and can never get my rotation back. People say it's the easiest but of all the tanks, it's the one I just can't do. Looks like I'll be doing GNB in EW.
Sometimes your rotation may get broken. All you have to do is just continue. Make sure goring blade dot is always up in single target situations, and when it is, use Royal A.
Other than that, just make sure you dont overlap FoF with Req and youre good
Its literally just Goring Blade into Attonments during a FoF window then Goring again into Req
Thats it
Warrior... enough said
I MUST play paladin in Endwalker. At least if I want continue, to play the official class from the WoL in each trailer.
In ARR, I played Warrior, in heavensward Dragoon, in Stormblood Samurai and in Shadowbringer Dark Knight.
I still have tbn and the other tanks don't. Checkmate
lol are you sure about that?
Holy Sheltron doing 35% Mitigation + Free Clemency Heals every 20 Secs sounds more interesting to me than TBN that i can only use on Tank Busters otherwise it's a DPS Loss 🤔.
Every other tank (Even Reaper and Sage) has a better TBN and the tanks don't need to worry about using mp for it either. The only ones that are even gonna play Drk in Endwalker are comedians doing plunge + unmend rotation and the rest still sniffing on that copium.
everyone else has a tbn that doesn't use your damage resource
@@TyrantotnaryT Thank you for calling me a comedian. Much appreciated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't get the love for edge. Drk is fine, or just delete it, we'd be better off.
WAR will be the best tank by far. Amazing how the players of this game can't judge blatant good design when they see it lol. All hype with flashy abilities or buzzwords to make them feel powerful. Look people WARs changes are STUPIDLY good. Remember WAR is still the only tank that can heal on demand in any situation at any time, without sacrificing their rotation or any damage ability. On top of which they will still heal on every target hit.
Amazing how a change to their nascent caused everyone to panic and even when they realise it will still hit all targets, but just not scaled off their damage and they call it a nerf, when you could argue it got SIGNIFICANTLY buffed. Any AoE can heal you now, even overpower. So an overpower on a wall to wall pull of 8 enemies will heal you 3200 potency. On top of which, with the 8 sec duration, you can now get 4 abilities off with bloodwhetting. So doing your basic AoE rotation on 8 enemies in a wall to wall could heal you 14400 potency.
People choose not think nowadays. There are obvious problems with GNB, in fact BIG problems. PLD deffo improved, but their kit as a whole is too circumstancial and restrictive.
Problem is, all these skills are delivered too late. Leveling a different class? You've got hours of gameplay before you get these 'fixes'.
Syncing some content? You lose all the fixes till you're done...
As a healer i absolutely hate healing paladins. Paper Tanks xD
