The Best Gunlancer builds in Lost Ark

gamepur.com:

When players think of what makes a class a “tank,” they think of massive health bars, near-insurmountable survivability, and a means of defending their allies from incoming harm.

In Lost Ark, the Gunlancer is that prototypical tank.

While modest in attack power, the Gunlancer’s abilities revolve around debuffing enemies while buffing allied defense, providing a combination of tanking and support that proves invaluable to most dungeon-raiding parties.

With all of his eggs placed firmly in the defensive basket, the Gunlancer is significantly lacking in skills that provide mobility, AoE, and high-impact damage.

However, where the Gunlancer’s lack of skill variety partially handicaps his general applicability for most fight situations, he excels in debuffing and handicapping enemies, preventing his teammates from being attacked in the process.

What’s also of note about the Gunlancer is that it’s the only class that bears the distinction of using its dash to jump backwards, rather than dart forwards. As Gunlancer is designed to tank as much enemy aggression as possible, the backwards dash can be used to create separation between the player and incoming enemies.
