So I need a shadow gun because... well... because I need a shadow gun. Also, I've noticed that Biohazard and Sentenza are the only shadow guns that aren't part of the alchemer line (I don't like alchemers) and neither of them gets much love. I normally do Roarmulus and Royal Jelly runs and rarely FSC(but I'm guessing neither would be good for that). So I would like to know which gun is better as a sword/gunner hybrid?

Also, my 5* gear as of right now (not much to look at, I know):

Divine Avenger CTR Med
Warmaster Rocket Hammer

Polaris Low Gremlin damage <====trolololololol

Dark Retribution

Divine Veil Low poison
Perfect Seerus mask Low shadow

Skolver Coat Low Poison
Radiant Silvermail

Barbarous thorn shield

Sentenza

It has higher single target dps than Biohazard, which has lackluster normal shots and is hard to use effectively in a team.

Greetz - Imma Master Gunslinger, I got all of them and i can say you that you should pick your gun for the situation you need it for. For example Sentenza is the best gun at PvP and against Gremlins, due the Alchemer is getting dodged all the way. Well no Wall'O'Text so i fix write it down:

Sentanza
+ superior PvP
+ superior against Grems
+ easy aim for single target dmg
+ great mobility while in use
+ no reload if you just wait a sec after 5 shots (perma shoot)
+ since "fix" awesome dps
- for multi target dmg (hit between 2 enemies) kinda hard
- medium against masses of enemies
- no CC
- useless charge

Umbra Driver
+ great against jellies
+ great against masses
+ useful charge
+ good dps
- without "shot, wait, shot, wait" bad shielding ability
- much weaker against grems than the other shadow guns, but not useless

Biohazard
+ massive fun!
+ poison debuff wich decreases attack damage and defense and let them get damage from heals (jelly king~, gremlin mendors)
+ awesome against masses of enemies
+ perfect at danger rooms
+ aviable against jellies and grems
+ good CC
+ zoning against gremlins (they try to stepback multiple times from a bullet)
+ very fast charge
- slow bullets
- average single target damage
- hard to aim with if you are not alone in party (not all mobs follow you)
- stupid allies focus the mobs with your charges on it ...

Any questions good sir? :D Ingame - Abathur - for some demo :)

- Damage trinkets (as of now) don't affect the charge's damage. They do affect the normal shots though, to the point that if you have VH damage, you're better off using normal shots instead of charge when fighting 1-3 monsters.

No, biohazard is awful for

No, biohazard is awful for crimson hammer. Its way too slow, makes them dodge, lower clip size, and gets blocked constantly. And no slimes, just gremlins and the odd construct.

And am I the only one who really likes the sentenza charge? It wrecks small gremlins and slimes.

Most people were asking for pure damage changes to make the antigua lines more viable as a full gunslinger set. They perform exceptionally well now for single target dps.

@Dukeplatypus

I use Sentenza charge often, the owl is perfect for clearing a mob of gremlins on my tail.
A tip is to get 2-4 squares of room before unloading, so the owl has enough room to hit.

@Stingz

That is exactly what I'm talking about! The AP charge is pretty handy too. A guildmate with electron vortex and I just totally annihilated every swarm of zombies in FSC with no trouble at all.

Well in such a point its

Well in such a point its pretty strong - I was too focused about danger rooms where its a too big lack of mobility. Already depends on mobs :P

Who was sayying Damage bonus does not affect charge - SURE IT DOES!! wtf!? or do you mean Biohazards? Kinda possible there ... not sure about this :P
