There seems to be no help for when to use Camouflague. Also the link on you to the discord is an invalid invite.

The guide states Camouflage provides mitigation similar to Rampart while also providing extra mitigation against physical type damage. Maybe you missed that portion? It's on the Tank Rotation page, where all the other mitigation is listed.

 

Edit: Also, the Discord invite is working for me, so maybe something on your end?

I noticed that there's no mention of Bow Shock in the lvl 80 leveling rotation. Is this an accidental omission or on purpose?

It's listed in the level 80 section, it actually starts at level 62.

I noticed that the Multi-Target Rotation section of the GNB Leveling Guide includes Fated Circle starting at level 15, although the skill is not acquired till level 72. It seems like both the pre- and post- lvl72 instructions are being displayed at all levels on the slider, as quoted below.

Quote

• On large trash pulls, ignore single-target actions and only use your AoE actions, such as the  Demon Slice combo.
• On large trash pulls, ignore single-target actions and only use your AoE actions, such as the  Demon Slice combo and  Fated Circle to spend cartridges.

Hey there! Thanks for pointing this out, I've gone ahead and fixed the coding error on our end, it should update in the next day or two.

Hey there.

I cannot seem to find out why on rotations we are releasing Royal Guard.
What's that about?

Hello

Interesting and helpful guide.

Just a small comment about the changelog :

• 29 May 2023: Updated for Patch 6.4

The guide should be updated for patch 6.4, but in section 2:

2. 

Gunbreaker Food and Consumables

Most best-in-slot sets recommend the usage of  Carrot Pudding

As of 6.3, the strongest potion for Gunbreaker is the  Grade 7 Tincture of Strength.

Consumables do not reflect the new available food and pots from 6.4, being respectively Baked Eggplant and Grade 8 Tincture of Strength. Is it possible to update the guide with those new consumables ?

Thank you for your time, and for the efforts put into creating this guide.

Regards

Hey, we've since updated it to reflect 6.4. Sorry about that!

Why is Royal Guard part of the rotation?

Am I missing where this is? I've looked through all the pages, it's not mentioned anywhere except the leveling page.

Salutations,

I'm not new to FFXIV, but I did sadly take a veeeery long break from the game and have always wanted to try out Gunbreaker.  Ever since now just getting back in and learning tank from maurder, I picked up Gunbreaker (yes probably not the best idea but wanted to still learn how tank functions) and when looking up information on great openers and rotations most are all based prior before Dawntrail update changes.

I understand the basis some what on how tanks work with groups and expected as well as read all the latest information on how to pull and push when it comes to groups and such but with everything going on with the changes I feel like I'm missing how to really start the tank at lvl 60 going forward after the changes.

I may have missed something in everything I've read but hoping perhaps maybe someone can inform me on everything I'm missing.  Perhaps I missed something in the information given here, if not, hope this can get a good answer from starting level 60 going forward.

Thank you

Saw my post and I like to clarify a bit more, 

So I enjoy watching guides by other players on how they have opening starting at a certain level with open rotations and going forward from there with future level unlocking skills and abilities.  

One video I saw which I saw working a lot was one that used rough divide due to it helping with some of the bonuses from it as well as being able to keep yourself from being knocked to far away by using it to just jump back and continue the combination.

Trajectory seems to be aaaalmost the same just no dps and it does add to the enmity but I feel the rotation I saw, if I replace rough divide with that seems to be some what a waste to continue doing damage and just to only give enmity bonus.

I really want to make sure to evolve my opener rotation over time from level 60 and moving forward.  Also I miss spelled Marauder.  Which heheh feels dumb, anyways hope this clears things up. 

I tend to main Ninja as dps and saw that it changed as well some what so perhaps you could also help with answering a good rotation at around level 62-63.

Thank you again for all the info you share.
