hemo shot, vital shot, shrap bomb, wounding shot.

Aside from all the idiots in this thread, i'll answer your question. You can try the dirty fighting tree, it's more of a fast paced on the move to say compared to the sharp shooter spec. You hardly ever have to go into cover and if you do decide to use cover, just going into is a bonus. Not a limitation (how it should be).

I feel your pain man, I recently specced dirty fighting, got to say I am having a ton of fun. SS got old quick and irritates the heck out of me in pvp. Dirty fighting is just a breath of fresh air and more mobile/fast paced. With that being said thats the gunslinger I envisioned when I first made my smuggler. Not to be some pansy who sits behind cover all day being LoSed to death. SS is just really boring in my opinion. The lack of burst in dirty fighting is the only down side I got to say, but you can lay down some heavy *** damage with wounding shots.

In a warzone, I am level 38 and level 25 sorcs are even a challenge for me. I interrupt as much as I can and try and lay down as much damage as possible. Their damage is ridiculous compared to mine. *** I figure a gunslinger would do more damage if I sit in cover and unload. I am getting sick of this bull crap, I want to see gunslingers get a buff, not in damage but in surviving. Make dodge more useful, make our shield screen not suck balls, give us more health, make us immune to knock backs while in cover, heck even make COVER mitigate ALL types of damage. It's already bad enough it puts at a disadvantage. We have no self heals, low armor, and barley anyway to mitigate constant damage. Meanwhile sorcs can heal, have amazing absorb defensive abilities and can wreck havoc with their lighting. I will not accept "L2P" I play very well for what I can do with this class, but it is clearly this class is gimped compared to other classes. Cover is already bad enough to deal with, you figure you sacrifice mobility you will gain more then just a 20% mitigation to snipers and an interrupt. There is not enough benefit for the disadvantage it gives you. If you get knocked back it takes you out of cover and then you have to go back into cover and by the time that happens you're dead. I am sick of people saying "gunslingers work well in groups" well no ****, any class would. I don't want to be a pansy and hide behind my team mates for pvp at all times. It's boring and makes you feel insignificant, I want to be able to go toe to toe with an enemy and have a chance to beat them. Worse comes to worse and I do go toe to toe with a player, I have to time everything precise and make sure I do not screw up in order to even make winning an option, yet a sorc can just slam his head into his keyboard and do nasty damage. It's about time gunslingers got a look at and get a buff, the scaling is horrible our damage is mitigated to much, and survival is our worst aspect. It's absurd how much we have to rely on our "team" in order to even be decent meanwhile every other class in the game can fend for themselves because they have the tools and abilities to do so. Any player who knows pvp in MMO games can make a mock of a gunslinger and I know this too. It pisses me off how force users can deflect my attacks but my cover doesn't do jack ***** against their light sabers. This is a post a plea for help from the developers, I can only imagine this gets worse once you are in the 50 bracket. It's about time gunslingers/snipers get a buff they need. It's been long enough. It's no wonder they are one of the least played classes, yet sorcs and mercs are through the roof. No one wants to play a class thats gimped.

Heck even marauders/sentinels don't get these type of posts either. I wonder if they will ever be "OP" They have no self heals, low armor, not much mobility, and shut down when one or more players on them. Time to go be like 90% of the swtor population and go roll a sorc... /tear

I am 38 and been doing a fair amount of warzones, I noticed I have some pvp currency and I am wondering if I can do anything with them or do I have to wait till 50 for them to become usable?

All they have to do is take off the ability restrictions, this way it makes us mobile and allows us to UTILIZE cover instead of being forced to use it. Heck lower the range if not in cover if it has to be. Give the damage/defense bonus in cover. However every fight isn't going to be in one spot so this gives us a sacrifice of losing defense/attack power if you get out of cover (GS are very squishy). Fair trade in my opinion.

Hard to say, currently scoundrels are pretty awesome against one on ones and have many tools to aid them in combat. Gunslingers can be very devastating however cover and LoS screws them up a lot. They can't hold on their own as much as a scoundrel can but with a nice cooperated ops warzone you can lay down some destruction.

I was doing a warzone today and the round was over as the new round started i noticed I can move my character around while in cover. Let me tell you it was a blast and felt amazing, until I died of course. Anyone else see this happen?

I am already having doubt in the class, currently 31. So many people say they aren't that good in pvp. Should I just stop while i'm ahead or can I expect good things at 50? I would prefer someone with a gunslinger and other class at 50 for their opinions

I am currently lvl 30 so what spec should i go?

Title says it all.

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT pick it. Re roll before it's to late or suffer the consequences.

If you like being restricted to cover and being LoSed a ton then go sniper if you want to pwn people with just one ability go mercenary. Not saying snipers are like bad but they arent a class you want to play in mmos. People will LoS you heal up then come back and kick your *** while all your abilities are on cool down.

Go merc gunslingers and snipers suck balls
