Gunbreaker Tank Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.4

This set uses the crafted gear available in 7.4, utilizing Advanced Melding to maximize the amount of stats we can have to take into Savage prog. Please note, that since Savage release is delayed three weeks after 7.4 released, this set includes four weeks worth of Bygone Brass gear since you will have the three weeks before Savage, as well as the day of its release, worth of tomes. It also uses the 7.4 Extreme Trial weapon, which is a stronger option than the pentamelded crafted weapon.

For those that want a set that does not use four weeks of tomes, a second set without any tome gear is provided. It still uses the Extreme weapon, however, as that is still stronger than the pentamelded crafted weapon. If you wish to use the crafted weapon because you do not have access to the Extreme weapon, then meld 2 Crit +54s, 1 Direct Hit +54, 1 Crit +18, and 1 Direct Hit +18. If you do not wish to pentameld, you may simply stop melding after the guaranteed meld slots.

This set is generally recommended for those with average to high ping, or those that want a faster GCD, and requires late weaving No Mercy every time it is up to hit 9 GCDs within its buff.

This set uses the crafted gear available in 7.4, utilizing Advanced Melding to maximize the amount of stats we can have to take into Savage prog. This set uses several skill speed melds to reach 2.45 GCD, for those who want a slower GCD. Please note, that since Savage release is delayed three weeks after 7.4 released, this set includes four weeks worth of Bygone Brass gear since you will have the three weeks before Savage, as well as the day of its release, worth of tomes.

This set has the caveat that if you do not have very low ping (around 25-30ms or less), you are likely to clip your GCD and drift No Mercy farther and farther from party buffs each use. This speed requires pressing No Mercy exactly on cooldown every time it is up to maintain alignment with party buffs. This will result in No Mercy being early weaved for the odd minutes and late weaved for the even minutes, ensuring 9 GCDs in No Mercy during the even minutes, but only 8 GCDs in No Mercy during the odd minutes.

This gear set uses a combination of Augmented Bygone Brass Tomestone gear and the Grand Champion Savage gear to provide the highest item level currently available in the game.
