Gunbreaker

Job Fundamentals

Gunbreaker is the newest tank to FFXIV that was added in Shadowbringers. It features high damage, high actions-per-minute burst phases that fit cleanly into party buffs. GNB’s high actions-per-minute combined with its strong mitigation toolkit make it feel like a party-focused DPS.
