That feeling when the new gunner armor will probably be Volcanic/Mad Gunner armor

I'd be down for a straight up trade of mad bomber for mad gunner. or an upgrade. or hell, a three variant ticket to replace my mad bomber would be nice - something above vendor selling price... which as of now it isn't even worth that.

Wondering why you put a URL function to set the video to 10 seconds when you wanted us to watch it from 5.

I really hope the new armors have better accessory options >__>;
I mean I like my red battle chef coat and hallow shades just fine in PVE but the whole cowboy-poncho thing feels so cliche in PVP lol.

Wow. How have I not thought of this.
Great, this is in my mind and I want it out. Now a Volcanic Poncho wouldn't be horrible, but Mad Gunner? Oh good God stop it right now...
I'm hoping the new gunner armors will be kind of soldierish. Perhaps focused around the Space Marines that the Spiral Knights would have originally been. Ok, it's still cliché. But it gives gunners better things to wear other than a bunch of cowboy gear that glitches when you do a particular pose.
One can only hope.

I have no mouth and I need to scream
Would it kill to have just one gunslinger outfit that resembles a hitman? A fedora that's slightly tilted or something?
we have [redacted] monocles on kats and jellies with mustaches, why the vog not? ;-;

Shadowsun set use volcanic palette, so we already have volcanic gunslinger set. Just FYI.

Needlessly long reply incoming
And yet, we don't have a (complete) specialized gunslinger set that does these things that a Volcanic set typically does:
1) Resists fire.
2) Offers beneficial bonus (such as CTR).
3) Defends against elemental.
4) Has a Volcanic Color Scheme.
What does Volcanic Demo do?
1) Resists fire.
2) Offers CTR for Bombs.
3) Defends against elemental.
4) Has a Volcanic Color Scheme.
What does Vog do?
1) Resists fire.
2) Offers ASI for swords.
3) Defends against elemental.
4) Has a Volcanic Color Scheme.
What does Salamander do?
1) Resists Fire.
2) Offers DMG Bonus against Slimes.
3) Defends against Elemental.
4) Has a Volcanic Color Scheme.
What does Volcanic Plate do?
1) Resists Fire.
2) Offers higher defenses, in addition to Stun.
3) Defends against elemental
4) Has a volcanic color scheme
Now, what does Shadowsun do?
1) Resists Poison.
2) Offers DMG Bonus for guns.
3) Defends against Shadow.
4) Has a Volcanic Color Scheme (barely).
I guess one and a half out of four counts it as a volcanic set.

Volcanic Gunner would
Volcanic Gunner would definitely fit with CTR as FSC endgame currently.
MSI and a potential Shadow Lair gear would be nice too; run and gun would be a thing.

MSI NAO!
Gunners need dat MSI, we need to move quickly to dodge all the chairs being thrown at us and crap. Bombers have it, why don't we?
Please, give us something with decent fire resistance!

Perfect Pants of Seerus. That is comedy gold.
Maybeee the Perfect Ponchos of Seerus?

Anyway, I doubt the new gunning armor is like that. If we have the western type armor, I think we will be seeing Halo-style armor, or some kind of high tech armor that looks awesome with an imaginary laser gun that will never exist in SK due to the number of complaints that will spawn.

I actually wouldn't mind more volcanic armors. I would like one to match my PMoS, but Vog Coat seems irreplaceable.

Mercurial-like gunslinger
Mercurial-like gunslinger armor!
Gunslingers need to be light on their feet and quick enough to evade incoming attacks. Also, an ample resistance to shock would definitely be helpful, as that often dooms them when it comes to charging up their guns, or it just dooms them entirely by impeding their movement when they need to get out of a tight spot. The other Mercurial sets allow knights to do these things, and it's definitely a lifesaver at times, too.
Also, the Perfect Pants of Seerus... 10/10, would totally buy.

They wouldn't be able to make Mad Gunner without doing something about Chaos.
I really hope they make a Mad Gunner.

@Zeddy: Please do not encourage any pro gunner spammers to go even more pro-like. Even the name Mad Gunner scares me a little.

Well
If your wondering about the "Gun" portion of this update, this guy (ResistanceYoshi) on Deviant art did a pretty good job of lining up the possible new trees for these items. Granted its all speculation but the icons are OOO's.
Not posting link due to OOO's spoilers rule so look at your own discretion.

Make Mad Gunner.
Make Chaos Swords-only.
Remove Chaos' Curse resistance.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
I hope it will be a reference to Mega Man.
In other words, it needs to be blue and shiny. And there needs to be a hand-cannon reskin of the blaster.

But if it was a megaman reference, we would have to be able to get the weapon everything we kill. Including Vana's mace.

@Dibsville
I totally agree on making the Chaos Set for swords only, but on the point about removing the curse resistance... I feel it should be replaced with a weakness to stun, though.
Having that weakness to stun will actually give any gunslinger wearing the armor, especially the full set of gear, the nice thought to keep their distance from their enemies. Otherwise, if they get smashed by a lumber... well... they're going to be crawling for quite a while. Afterall, gunslingers are supposed to specialize in ranged combat and keeping their distance from the monsters (or players), not "hug an enemy to death while violently poking them with my gun" gunslinging shennanigans.
Also, let's spice up the armor set a bit more... It'll only offer normal defense equal to that of the other 5* gunslinger sets, and nothing more. And "Mad Gunner" sounds too... common, at least when you look at the Mad Bomber set. Maybe something like... "Maniacal Hotshot" or something else?
Still, we need a Mercurial Gunslinger set or something of the sort. It'll only seem fitting, and it could perhaps be crafted in the Sanctuary Alchemy Machine, too? Since that place doesn't house any gunslinger-centered gear... yet.
im naked, i need some new gunner armour please
