Speed-wise, you can do the equivalent of most classes, like the first post said mastery will help a lot along with booster. My friend, who is half as funded as me, can take down a zombie as fast or even faster than my brawler, and I hit up to 4k per hit mind you.
this is true, but i want to explain another relevant point.

anyone who has played as a hero will understand the term "overkill"
because heroes have to charge up a combo to use their offensive skills, they have to use it at the right time on the right monster in a mob, so as not to waste the charges (orbs).

if u do 4k damage in 1 hit, and the monster's HP is 3k, u just overkilled.
to a brawler, this is ok, because its the most efficient skill to use.
u wouldnt want to use 2 skills that add up to 3k and waste mp and time, do u?
but since we are comparing this to a gunslinger, they would be much more efficiant. they can use 2 faster-than-brawler's skills that add up to 3k, use less mp in the same amount of time. the only drawback is minor: bullets =.=
unless of course u dont want to waste ur lvl 110 bullets.
