Increased attack speed isn't really panning out for us because of the reload speed issue which remains, and the tiny clip sizes.
Apparently asking for Increased Attack Damage isn't going to work.
So how about changing the bonus to Increased Movement Speed?
Makes the armor great for positioning, which gunslingers need to do, and makes up for the lack of fire resist as well IMO.
Yes. Quicksilver. At the moment, the suit is so rare that the shield and body armor don't even have wiki pages - it's not certain enough that they exist and/or not enough is known about them.
Well, since as a Slinger I consider wearing Sword or Bomber gear just so that when I am forced out of my weapon of choice the alternative works nicely, I wouldn't mind if the slinger gear were built to be something that a sword/bomb user would consider wearing as well. And realistically, movespeed is the only stat you could give a gunner that would be worthwhile. Unless you went with just flat out more health, but there is already a suit for that.
Didn't realize there was a full set of movespeed gear out there (in theory). If those give Movespeed MED, then slinger could give MS: Small and still not infringe heavily.
Wasn't there Increased Movement Speed on some other set and it was changed so it's only on raredrops since it's really, REALLY useful? I'd certainly have to give some heavy thought to switching over to Gunslinger even as a sword/bomb user if it got that.
