Gunslingers need 2* gunslinging gear to start with like swordmasters and bombers. Why they dont get one too?
Why not make a set that after upgrading gets turned into the Gunslinger set?
Because of this lack of 2* gear for gunslingers, i rarely see a gunslinger at all! Everywhere it is either a dedicated wolver swordmaster, a mix-n-match swordmaster (with elemental stuff) and a bomber.
So why not?
Well we could see more gunslingers for a change.
no you won't
the reason i think is behind it is choice is to get players to try out guns first before committing to the armor. with it's low dps and how the enemy dodge most guns. it basically not trying to set newbs up for failure
Comitting to a 2 star set is costing only 4000cr.
Also, guns have their cons as you pointed out, but have their pros
Good chance of survival because you are not near your enemy, because of witch gun puppyes are child's play too.
I'd rather the Gunslinger sets have a different bonus instead of attack speed.
Any of these would be great replacements, or they could make entirely new Gunslinger sets that have these bonuses.
Increased Damage
Reload Time Reduction
Faster Bullet Speed
Faster Reload Movement
Reload speed is directly derived from the attack speed, so thats already covered.
Thats not why you don't see Gunslingers. Swords have very high DPS and are the simplest weapon to handle. Wolvers simply go good with that.
At any rate, I think the gunslinger was introduced along side the Antigua (fits the theme perfectly), which starts at 3* as well. But what would be the benefit of having it start at 2* other then make it cheaper to grind UVs?
