Gunbreaker has been my favorite tank since Shadowbringers. Not only does it look very cool but I've always enjoyed that you're consistently pressing a number of different buttons so it always feels very active.
However, in Dawntrail this all comes to a screeching halt every two minutes when it's time for the Lionheart combo. You suddenly go from pressing all sorts of stuff to just hammering the same button for several seconds. This really sucks the feeling of momentum out of the rotation. The job at level 100 feels like you're playing Devil May Cry but every two minutes you have to stop and watch The Weather Channel. Hitting that brick wall is not fun.
Even just regarding the visuals, I can appreciate the artistry that went into creating this sequence but I think it looks pretty goofy for gravity to suddenly and mysteriously have no effect on you at all as you unnaturally move through the air in every direction like you're on a malfunctioning wire harness or like a photoshop layer being dragged around. I get that it's a recreation of Squall's limit break where he does the same thing but I just don't think that translates to this format very well.
So all that said I would love for the Lionheart combo to be removed in 8.0. I don't think the one button spam concept fits with the flow of the job at all. GNB was unique from the other tanks in not having a phase like that and we should be making the jobs more unique, not less. Thanks for reading and for your consideration of the feedback!
