That's it. Gunners need to have things even.

Yes, I know this has been suggested THOUSANDS of times. Yes, I am the majority of the time a swordy, but who says I don't gun as well?

Here's what we need, though. Will add any suggestion that others agree with here.

Shadowsun Set
Make it Med/Med, please. The bombers just got another buff with Volcanic.

Deadshot
It needs a different artwork design, could you guys possibly make it to what Cobalt Suggested?
A Undead Gun damage bonus only would be nice as well.

Gunslinger Accessories

We have a BOMB Bandolier. We have side and parrying BLADES. We need something for guns as well... A Holster maybe?

Gunslinger Set

Spiral Demo starts at 2*.
Wolver starts at 2*.
Gunslinger starts at... 3*.
We need this to be balanced out as well.

A Gunslinger's Shield

Swordies got a shield (<3 you BTS). Bombers... Don't got a shield... But still. Gunners could use a Swiftstrike Buckler in a sense, but like Deadshot, that's a universal thing. Gunner shield, but please start at 4*, we don't need another T1/2 Boss.

Mobile Piercing Gun

This is all we need.

Shadow Lair Gunner Gear

Oh hey, Merc Demo. Huzzah for more Bomber Gear! Oh Hey, Snarby set. Huzzah for more Swordy gear (But we DID kinda need that.). Andddddd no Gunner gear. Don't know a name yet, but how about DMG Med/ASI Low on on piece, and DMG Low/Med ASI on the other? True, atleast we got the Seerus masks... Still. Think about it this way, Bombers have 1 set of gear with negative resistances. Swordies have none. Gunners have 2, if you count the Seerus masks, which cost $$$, if you buy the DLC.

Statuses on Gunner Gear please...

Swordies-Vog Cub.
Bombers-Volcanic Demo.
Gunners- Nothing.

How about we get some Fire resistance for Nameless? Please? Yes, I know we have the Masks of Seerus. But again, it's technically a P2P thing...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adding more as we go. Gunners need to be buffed.

U actually want an gunner

U actually want an gunner with shields:0 that is just weird. How many gunners do u see in other games that have shields. Shields are for knights, warriors, paladins, etc. No, gunners should get to duel wield( I no this has been suggested many times). I mean look at it, it makes more sense to have a gunner with another gun than a shield. Even with the duel wield, the gunner can still shield, but with like 1/4 of the health and half the resistants of a shield. The shielding animation should be like when ur avatar carries a key.

@Lishanglin:

I gun a lot when I solo due to kiting arenas and...

A shield is invaluable while gunning. Think of Greavers. Think of Devilites.

Would you like to fight those without a shield?

@Severage

You don't really need a shield for Greavers, since a single shot will stop their attacks. The same is true for Devilites, but the difference there is that not all of the Devilites will be attacking at once and they'll be attacking from different angles, meaning you can't really stop all of their attacks at once like you sort of can with Greavers. That being said, I still find shields quite useful, if not just for shield bumping.

Back on topic, a lot of the suggestions in the OP make sense and hopefully this thread can be better maintained than those of the past. +1

@Schattentag:

I like to bump them back then shoot them to stop their attack before they charge back up on you. They're easily interrupted, but it's too easy to miss one (Especially since I don't use auto-target); and once you get inflicted by status by one of those guys, you're easy bait for the next 5-10 seconds.

One thing that has always

One thing that has always worried me concerning this medium upgrade for undead is that I think they balanced the guns around the fact that they only provide a slight boost in armor meaning that if they did this, they might end up nerfing the firepower of all the guns. That being said, it is weird how gunners are the only one.

@Bigfootm okay no prob but since majority of your topic takes referance from mine put proper link to them as you did with cobalt etc.

Is good time to run, cowards!

Boolet bandoliers accessories.

So we can be like war hungry Russians with a phD in Russian Literature.

Bullet models are already In the game anyways, just retexture them a bit and toss 'em in.

As an experienced gunner

Shields are invaluable. A gunner cannot always maintain distance between themselves and the enemy. Sometimes you need to get in and shoot them at point blank range. Sometimes you need to bob and weave between a bunch of enemies surrounding you. Sometimes they get too close so you need to bash them away. Nope, I would never run without a shield. Well, I would never run without one unless I was doing a no weapon, no shield run of the clockworks.

(ahem) No weapon, No shield and No brain run of the clockworks. :P

Gunners really need a shield

Gunners really need a shield for them, and and a mobile piercing gun would be quite nice too. Though we probably also need to remove the movement speed reduction when charging or firing . It's just not fair when compared to swordsmen, who can just keep outrunning enemies, while gunners are those who would need it the most, since their playstyle is based on staying on a distance. It just feels so useless, I even use my ascended calibur more often than my gun, although I love using my gun, I'm not able to keep using my gun cause I can't really keep firing cause enemies come too close while swordies can technically keep firing since they just charge and hit (similiar damage to just keep hitting, but much safer),so I always end up using a hit and run tactic with my charged calibur.
