Gunslinger is to weak compared to other classes

I fairly like my gunslinger. You can really cover a zone as soon as you´re set up IF cover is working. That´s the only part nagging me. Abilities bug. You see, like kicking that guy in the nuts, aiming at him while he´s out and then - plop - nothing happens. That´s really something that needs a fix.

It's a shame this thread is of low quality as gunslingers most definitely need some attention of the developers. I am not referring to a blatant buff however, as most posters seem to oppose to in this thread. I am asking for a fix to some glaring bugs and short-sighted decisions.

General bugs such as armor mitigation and ability delay seem to disfavor Gunslingers by a large margin in addition to some class specific bugs such as immobility debuffs refraining taking cover. Also, a complete class tree is nullified the moment the opponent learns to dispell.



There are some well-written posts about the sorry state of Gunslingers on the appropriate forum, they seem to be of no avail however. I laugh everytime I see the statement: "You decide what changes we make." It took them 2 months to fix a simple cooldown difference between snipers and gunslingers.

You say that you must use ability that hunker you for 20 sec then you say that you must move.

Listen, I know a lot about PvP with slinger but thinking about HD is our answer to all bugs and inconvience we have is too much.

I enjoy my gunslinger.

Aside from the bugs that need to be worked out, it is absolutely fine.

I think most of the problems people have are positioning. It is very hard to beat an even opponent one-on-one, but possible.

The key is to stay near the healer but be in a place where you don't draw attention. If your opponents are any good, they will focus down the healer and let you go to town on them. With the amount of CC and burst damage, you should be able to focus down targets very quickly with the other dps.

You do it wrong!

When used right, it melts people away. Also use speed relic and black market mods before you start Speed shooting people. It's a lot different if you channeling in 3 sec doing 3K or 1,4 secs doing 3K damage in that time, while you can recast it almost instant.

You can basically melt a healer out of a group.

I got swarmed, no escape possible.

Hunker down, blow defensive cooldowns, Speed relic on, blackmarket mods on. Melting their Sorc out of a grp of 5 before they could kill me, in like 5-6 seconds.

level 21 you got it going on son!

I think snipers and gunslingers need a pet that they can bring in wz.

I don't know about him but last week post 1.1 my 50 Slinger SS did over 300k in dmg. I went 53-2 on Voidstar. This is a L2P issue. I am always in the top 3 for damage. Usually top spot. I run a minimum 6:1 KD, and usually have a top 5 objective score as well. Even against 50s I'm critting over 4K and I have only 2/5 Champ pieces. It's ridiculous. I can 1v1 3/4 classes w/o breaking a sweat. If you guys want a buff I won't complain...I'll take it and lay waste more than I already do.

L2P guys. Crazy thing...this is my first MMO.

I think one of the reasons snipers seem lacking is just how blatantly overpowered some other classes are.

I would go as far as saying Snipers are one of the, if not the most balanced class around.
When you put a sorc or merc next to them, every class will look weak.

to be fair i dont know what you mean with what you have said.

im not saying you have to do anything, as it is all situational decisions.

and i never said we didnt have bugs that needed sorted.
