Gunlancer Combat Readiness lvl3

Hello!
Blue gunlancer main here.
I was curious with the upcoming balance patch, if it would be better to switch the class engraving from lvl 1 to lvl 3.
Do you all think it will be worth it, or is it still better to keep it at lvl 1?
Greetings

I think it’s probably best to use it at level 3 if you’re a blue gunlancer. For me, since I run both in a hybrid build, I use combat readiness level 1 mostly for the shields and the minor damage boost.

Edit: the hybrid build is actually just the red build with combat readiness lv1 + adrenaline lv2 instead of cursed doll lv3.

As far as testing went last I checked it’s a side grade if you are comparing 5x3 builds

5x3
CR
Grudge
Barri
Adr
Stab.

is a little better than

4x3+2+1
Grudge
Stab
Barricade
Cursed Doll
2 Adr
1 CR

Basically don’t bother switching out to 5x3 if you already have 4x3+2+1. There’s also a new build that runs Halucination with KBW

When you start getting into 5x3+1 tho you go 1 CR every time.

I’d put more effort in tripods, gems, gear quality, etc first

It just means CRx3 is viable now more than before where it was a dps loss to take it. I’ve switched to Hallucination KBW build and I’m loving it.

Which engraving you swap with KBW?

Either Stabilized Status or Barricade.
