As the title says about lockdown gunner gear and the guns
I need some advic on gunning on what gear
, what guns , and how to be good at gunning in lockdown
If anyone has lots of experience on lockdown gunning
Post your advice here on this thread
Edited:note that this thread is edited
Thanks for your advice but I think gunner mainly use guns only and I agree that balance is a good choice
I have a valuable , and a cryo driver for my gunner set but sometimes when I shoot my gun just doesn't deal ding even when it hits the enemy
Depends on which class you pick, and what you have trouble with the most. :< There are lots of things to keep in mind.
I choose the shadowsun Stetson , shadowsun slicker, 2 heart pendants , a cryo driver And a variance , as I shoot I sometimes deal no dmg even when my shots hit , it's bothering me as I should have dealt DMG instead
If you have heart pendants, stay striker. They're useless for all the other classes.
Since you're using shadowsun, for recon, I suggest gun speed trinkets (if you have VH ASI, recon will push it to max).
@no-damage shots:
You need to usually "miss" your shots in front of your opponents (shoot ahead of them) to make the server think you really hit them. This is called "lead shooting".
@Gun types:
Alchemers:
- Cryo/Hail is good when you're solo / outnumbered (freeze will make 1v1 be a free kill, and lower the number of fighting enemies when you're outnumbered)
- Volt/Storm are good when you're with teammates (shock gets rid of invincibility frames)
- Firo/Magma are good when you're kiting or fighting near your side of the map (fire will help kill them or make them run away to heal)
- Umbra is strong against every armor but shadow
- Nova is strong against every armor but elemental
Pulsar:
- Use them for knockback / shock.
Sentenza/Peacemaker:
- Good for shooting bombers.
Thx for your advice , I currently have 2 health trinks
@guns types
I agree that the cryo or hail is good at a 1v1 but sometimes if the enemies comes in
a group, will it be helpful?
@no damage shots
So you are saying that I have to shoot somewhere
In front of the opponent to definitely damage the opponent
As the shots that I shoot , will most of the times deal damage?
Is it best to have damage bonus trinks , asi trinks
Or health trinks?
@freeze
Yes, it's helpful. I've gotten out of group situations this way:
ex: if you're in a 3v1:
- freeze 1, it becomes a 2v1
- freeze 1, it becomes a 1v1
Or if you think you'll die, you can kill the one you froze, and it will be more useful than just being killed without the status.
@lead shooting:
Yes. I like to think of it as "1-2 tiles" in front of the target, but really it's "time": so for me, I have to shoot something like .2-.5 seconds ahead of my targets to make the shots really work (so for dashing strikers, it might be 3-5 tiles ahead of them).
@trinkets:
- Striker: Health
- Recon: ASI/Damage
- Guardian: Sword ASI/Bomb CTR/Health
So your suggestion is that if I go striker gunning , I should use health pendants ,
Your advice is good, I will take note of it
Thanks!
As striker, I recommend:
Shadowsun Set (for dmg vh)
1 elite trueshot module (dmg max-like hitting with an avenger first hit)
1 penta heart
The point of striker gunning is to not get hit, and this set optimizes that. Now for weapons:
For pure decimation, get Storm Driver, Umbra Driver, and Hail Driver. Just switch like crazy between these weapons, and you'll have an easier time. The hardst part is aiming, but once you get that down it becomes easier. Keep your distance, and keep shooting.
Recon:
Nameless Hat/Shadowsun armor (need asi as recon to make up for lower mobility)
1 elite trueshot, 1 penta (or two pentas)
Recon will make switching easier, because of asi. Here, I recommend valiance, storm driver, and Sentenza. The valiance can push enemies away, the storm you should use against chaos people, and sentenza can stunlock people if you need to make an assisted escape. Also, you can practically clear a point with the valiance charge.
I personally don't recommend polaris as recon, only as striker. Shoot, then follow your shot. Beware of the blindness caused by it, people can rush through and hit you, or shoot back. Also, beware or people calling you a polaris spammer. While true, they just don't have the skills to counter it.
When im going full gunner, I usually go for Valiance-Storm-Argent-Polaris, I wear black kat cowl and a shadowsun, with two health trinkets. Having two alchemers is nice too if you know how to do alchemer switching.
Id rather go Hybrid tho, Black kat + Justifier, Final Flourish, Gran Faust, Storm driver and Valiance.
