Ive been playing SK for a period of time now (not made any progress tough( keep changin up my mind)). anyhow ive notice theres a much large amout of wolvers (swordies) than gunners than demos (maybe the charging is annoy?), i'ved ask afew freind why do they prefer sword over guns?

He (my friend) : obivious sword have more damge than guns

welli know SK its all about balance so they switched in some of the damge for range (even tough some guns swtich in power for clip size/speed) but ive nevery seen a sheild thatn gives guns buff (nor bombs) i mean if your gonna add one for the sword maybe for the gun to blance it out? (i mean srly i dont care if its damgbonus(/ASI) low) add usefullness for asi to bombs? (increase walk speed when charging/decreas fuse time (like ASI reduces reloadin by a bit?)

but still maybe im wrong? help me point out why (if im "wrong") thanks for reading

This is like saying most guys prefer blonde girls with blue eyes.

Well, what's the problem? if that's what they like, there's nothing you can do to change it.

Just because most people prefer X more than Y or Z doesnt mean there's something wrong.

@OP:

My first set was Wolver. Do you know why? Because my friend who invited me to the game happened to wear Wolver. That's pretty much the only reason. I use guns a lot more now, but still don't use bombs much.

Wolver is a very newbie-friendly T1 set, because swords are very easy to use. You can't go wrong with a sword, just try soloing Snarbolax with bombs.

its not really a problem

Not such a big problem here, just makes bombers and gunners unique ^_^ im a bomber, and i dont mind having to equip a trinket for less charge time. although it would be really cool if ASI decreased fuse on bombs!! great idea :D

Then again it is a little bit

Then again it is a little bit of a hassle and inconvenience for Gunners or Bombers, to have to pay the monthly CE costs to "rent" out a temporary trinket slot for bomb or gun buffing trinkets just to get the same level of buffs a Swordie can get off a whole range of shields (Which the shield slot is permanent and forever free), and they can have further Swordie trinkets to boost themselves even further.

I dont mind too much but theres been time Ive cashed in a mountain of hard earned crowns for CE and had to choose whether I need to buy either a new trinket or weapon slot cause both would expire soon.

A gun or bomb boosting shield would be great and around fair for the parties missing out.

But trust me Ive been around since the ol days of Beta, it never happened then, and it wont happen in future, OOO just likes to give bombers and gunners the short end of the stick in general. Just look at the amount of new swords and melee based armor given in the updates since the games full release compared to the amount of guns and gunners gear.

Anyway I can put up with the way things are, I am a skilled and competent gunner and off bomber for group support. But a well overdue nood in our direction with such a set of items would be appreciated.

+1 @ Archon

if OOO is giving anything for sword atleast have it for bombs and swords? (sheilds etc.)

OOO hates and will always hate gunners and bombers.

3 pieces of advice for all you bombers out there:

1. Adapt to the lacking (and the nerfing) of good bomber equipment ~~ such as DR nerf, no shadow defence equipment etc.
2. QQing won't make OOO take pity on bombers.
3. Go get some 5* swords and regret becoming a pure bomber. (Ignore this advice if you were once a swordie and decided to become a pure bomber)
