I've been deciding on two guns: Catalyzer or Pulsar?
Please give me your opinions on which one I should get, and why. (I'm a defensive type of person)
:D
Catalyzer or Pulsar?

Supernova beats Polaris
Supernova beats Polaris defensive-wise, if you are a hardcore defensive person and you are willing to sacrifice damage as well as gun puppy effectiveness (as the only monsters you do use a Polaris to take advantage of its knockback for survivability are either neutral or weak to elemental and shock. Gun puppies / all types of turrets are either neutral or weak to elemental).
Polaris' shock makes its charge attack kind of pointless for survivability. It's normal attacks will also sometimes not knock back due to shock.
Supernova has a more stable knockback.
Catalyzers leave you very vulnerable. You will want to chain charge for the most possible AoE damage (if you use the normal shots more than the charge, maybe try getting an alchemer for better normal shots with far better AoE in normal shots).
And when you chain charge, you are moving slower and remain immobile while firing off charges. The fact that it is a quick charge time makes it so chain charging makes you more immobile than moving (as opposed to one beneficial charge attack instead of a bunch of smaller ones which result in more mobility-hindering attacks).
So based on your description, I would suggest a Polaris for your first pulsar, then a Supernova / Catalyzers later.

ive had a catalyzer
i used a catalyzer before, i even gave it the chance by making it a toxic catalyzer, but i hated it so much i sold it... i only think the gun would be useful if the shots moved about twice as fast or faster :P i should suggest that

Catalyzer is not so bad
Ive had one too,but they aren't so bad if you know how and when to use them.
I would like the bullets to move faster though,XD.

They buffed Catalyzers a
They buffed Catalyzers a little while ago by making the charge be affected by damage bonus. Now they're actually very nice tactic guns that can really do a lot in PvE. Neutralizer can do close to ~500 damage per charge now in higher levels with some damage bonus. Slap some CTR on it and you can go to town.
Also, please don't necro.

Technically, a bugfix. Might as well be a buff as they fixed the main thing holding it back.

For LD?
Trololo your way to the top ranks of lockdown with your VERY OWN TROLLARIS.
How does one acquire this magnificent weapon? SIMPLE! First, you must obtain a pulsar, and upgrade it to 5* on the Polaris line. Then, you simply take the gun into a T3 LD match, and spam the basic attack at a point your team wants to cap, from a safe distance. Low and behold, your simple Polaris has become the unstoppable stock tactic of t3 gunners everywhere, the almighty TROLLARIS. /endrant.

hell ya pulsar its so much better
pulsar's knockback pushes back really hard enemies so u don't have have to fight them up close. TROLLARIS is awesome too
Pulsar(going with the Polaris/Elemental path.) is probably better for you defensively, since the expanded bullets can push back some monsters away from you. Not to mention, the expanded bullets can help disrupt a gun puppy's attack. Just be careful with it while in groups, you might end up pushing monsters into your team mates.
