[Lost Ark] Gunlancer 8s burst across all blue and red builds

Red obviously does the most burst, but if you don't hit frontal on both surge and stinger, it can actually fall behind hallu blue for burst. Spec/swift is not worth it, IMO. Boundless takes too long to get into, and boss usually leaves or transitions before you can actually spend much time in it. I really should've recorded a different parse for it though. On average, you'll hit at least 10% crit with full adrenaline stacks.

If you miss both frontals, then the damage floor becomes abysmal and actually drops below nightmare blue. Partial frontal test is probably not totally representative because you may also hit GLS and/or DUF from the front even if stinger misses, but I wanted to have it within the 8s window to keep things simple.

100% frontal rate is not realistic for real raids, so actual burst DPS between blue and red is a lot closer these days than it used to be thanks to Hallucination becoming a viable meta build for blue. Also, during actual fights, blue can unload everything on CD, whereas red needs to wait to line up frontals with the right patterns -- thus closing the DPS gap even more.

Tested with all level 9 damage gems at 1620 with 5x3+1 setups and yearning attack speed simulated + full adrenaline stacks.

Thanks for comparing both builds! Looks like blue is overall more reliable.

Spec/swift is not representative of actual dps, because with 15% crit you did 0 crit. This is for a burst test, spec/swift lay in the fact that you have low cd with boundless and swift so your buff are perma up and you have so low cd. In utility I think spec/swift with nightmare 4 and dominion 2 is the best overall, nightmare 6 second if you want to pump decent dmg.

Returning player from NA. I used to play when 1370 ilvl was considered good as a free player when some whales were 1400ish (Just after argos patch). I had Blue GL and it seemed to be pretty nice for progressing thru new and hard content. I have a couple weeks left on the south vern pass and IDK who to go with, whether I should just manually upgrade my GL or if I should powerpass another class.

Questions:
1) based off this vid it appears to me Blue GL is still pretty good since it's less conditional than red and can still keep up in DPS. Would you say in a real world scenario, blue GL can match red GL in total damage?
2) would you recommend staying blue GL? Or is the destruction and synergy uptime more important with red GL?
3) are GLs still very wanted? I was thinking about south vern power passing a fresh class, something high dps + versatile + good synergy (scrapper) or something like an AT scouter for fun.

Thoughts?
