You suck at playing it. Period.
You refuse to see the good side of it. You're impatient. What wonders can they do in future, did ya think? Doubt it.
you fail, many people were hitting 500-700 with the pirates in the 2x range.
gunslingers fail, brawlers however are good.
besides, if you knew anything about pirates, they are about speed of attack, which in the long run mean they hit higher damage overall quicker then other classes.

I think I'm gonna compile a list of people who think pirates are "epic phail", then come around and KS you at 120 or something. I, of course, won't leave till I get a smega out of you that goes "I never know what the hell I'm talking about because my head has been lodged up my ass since birth; that's the best place to keep it, otherwise some knowledge might get to it".
What do you mean they can't kill without double shot?
It's their primary attack for first job, but in second job once invisible shot is maxed it's mostly overtaken by that. Most classes rely on one attack as their main - sins' lucky seven; archers' double shot (or whatever it's called, I don't know anything about archers); mages' magic claw, etc.
Gunslingers can actually use somersault kick pretty well, too. I mobbed with it a lot at the Caution Falling Down map.
And yes, they do weak damage, but it's made up for greatly by their fast shooting speed. They start to really pick up damage-wise around 7x and 8x.
And what is that?Originally Posted by ClericLordLeo
My gunslinger is currently level 35, and as such my base str is also 35. I see gunslingers being a lot like archers in the way of statless -- although it's wise to keep your str as low as possible, going completely strless is not the best idea. It's fathomable later when we get Maple guns, but right now a low-ish base str is fine. Brawlers on the other hand have a better opportunity to go dexless, as you can scroll nearly anything for dex. However, due to their low accuracy, unless you're extremely funded I would advise against completely dexless.
With the introduction of various new statless weapons (among them the new level 64 maple weapons) there is no longer any advantage to not going statless. The only thing standing in your way now is money, for those who can afford it, it is definitely better.
Gunslingers aren't all that fast actually, double shot is. Compare the shooting speed of all other attacks in video to double shot, they're relatively slower. Invisible shot is excruciating for me to use right now at level 34 because of how slow it is but a regular 1 bullet attack is the same speed and I surmise that most other attacks will be of equivalent speed.
Are those with booster or not?
The problem is with gunslingers, as of now there are no statless weapons for pirates. I am absolutely sure they'll come in the future, but right now, all gunslingers rely on their str to equip higher guns. Since there are many more equips that can be scrolled for dex as opposed to str, it's just simpler to try and keep your str low, but also raise your dex through equips as well.Originally Posted by ElderDragon
Once statless weapons for pirates are released, yes, the current full/low secondary stat pirates will be weaker, but honestly I don't really care. I like to improve my own damage, but I don't wish to compare it to others'. People have different funding and different ways of playing and I prefer to play to improve for myself, not other people.

They're without booster.
You're right, as of right now it's not advantageous to go statless. I read that you said they're like archers in that way, and unlike pirates, it is currently better to go statless for archers. Not to mention that planning ahead and keeping your options open is always a good idea.
Oh yeah, definitely.
If I could afford a bunch of AP resets to lower my dex once statless weapons are released, I'd go for it.
But it all comes down on what Nexon releases. If gunslingers end up as broken as sins I'll be annoyed.

Add on a little: double shot is so fast, you can actually hold off a small group of mobs. My gunslinger doesn't receive much touch damage even when she's not on a sniping platform. And I have a fish spear that works well with somersault kick. Yes, the damage is low, but it's stable. Best of all, it's a mob skill and it can be used when you're jumping. Useful for taking out mobs on a platform directly above you, or clearing up a crowded area with no ideal sniping spots.
