Ever since picking up another Antigua to make a Sentz, I've been wanting to try out gunning more and more. The 5* guns I currently own are Polaris, AP, and Blitz. I'm thinking of having my 3 type core be Polaris, Callahan, Sentz. Also, Shadowsun is the most appealing set to me despite only racking up to Medium damage bonus (I decided I want to use 2 Elite true shots for max). I consider myself a fairly skillfull player who is adept at dodging and poison isn't all that much of a problematic status for me, and i's kind d hard to be inflicted with curse. If that's the case, would I be better off with Shadowsun than the other sets? I'm thinking of using a Swiftstrike to make up for some of the ASI I wouldn't have (is that even all that important for gunners?)
For PvP playing as a striker , would Storm Driver be better than Polaris for shooting at people while dashing around them? I feel like it would be easier to hit them. Also, should I go with Damage trinks or HP trinks in PvP?
Yes. Storm Driver is much better than Polaris for actually doing damage. It doesn't knock people around so you can quickly land a bunch of hits on people if you're good at aiming. Driver also does not slow you down nearly as much while you shoot, so you can kite even when you're out of boost. Polaris is pretty weak and the bullets are easy to dodge in a direct fight. Its main purpose is area denial and shocking enemies. I'd go for HP pendants, having nearly double HP is better than a mere 28% damage bonus in Lockdown.
