FFXIV Dawntrail Dark Knight, Gunbreaker, Paladin, and Warrior Changes Shared

The Tank jobs were the first ones discussed in the Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer Live LXXXI, with Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida and Global Community Producer Toshio “Foxclon” Murouchi brought up specific changes to the FFXIV Dark Knight, Gunbreaker, Paladin, and Warrior. While there are general adjustments for all roles in this area, specific slides looked at changes for those four.

The two changes applying to all Tank jobs in FFXIV involve Rampart and Reprisal. In the case of Rampart, it and similar 30% damage reduction abilities will be stronger when someone is between level 90 and 100. Likewise, the Reprisal change applies when someone reaches those higher levels. The duration will go up to 15 seconds.

Meanwhile, here are the four slides looking at the detailed FFXIV Dawntrail job changes for the Dark Knight, Gunbreaker, Paladin, and Warrior. Things started with the Paladin. Atonement is getting new actions and animations, while Blade of Valor is getting an additional action. The Warrior will get a new action that can appear after Decimate or Fell Cleave. Primal Rend will also feature a new follow-up action. The Dark Knight will get a new action as well, which will come up after Living Shadow. Blood Weapon is also going to change and be upgraded to Delirium. Finally, the Gunbreaker will get a Fated Circle new action and a Bloodfest three-step combo.

Here are all four of those slides further detailing the changes for those four Tank jobs.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Dawntrail expansion debuts on July 2, 2024.
