fungihoujo Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Don't make up classes... Oh wait, this class does exist? Huh, don't think I've ever seen it, I just see 'tracer missile tracer missile tracer missile...' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrewloose Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 People cry about Sorc. and OPS being OP. But seriously the hardest guys to kill in Huttball are the Snipers / Gunslingers. If they know how to play their class and camp out on the platforms, they can be near impossible to kill. Massive damage output, multiple stuns. AOE knock back with root. Can't force leap behind cover. When played right this class can decimate their opponents. But then again, at the root of every Nerf cry is a poor noob who got owned.

DrekorSilverfang Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Gunslingers are the most underpowered class with the least defense in the game. If you have comparable gear, you are doing more damage. Period. I don't think "underpowered" and "least" mean what you think they do... that or you are completely ignorant of the class. They have medium armor, 3 charge 15% damage absorb every time they got into cover, group wide 20% damage reduction. They are not interruptable, they are not CC'able nearly half the time. They have 2 knockbacks, one of which is arguable the most powerful in the game and roots people to boot. They have a second ranged root. They have a stun, interrupt and an AoE blind. They also do the most single target damage out of any AC. Underpowered? Absolutely *********** not. SWTOR's best kept secret? Yea probably.

Fixiooo Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Sure. Gunslingers and Snipers can do a lot of damage. IF left unchecked. Once a melee class has us by the balls we die really fast. It's a fair trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejavy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Telling the truth i'm tired of such stupid threads. "Nerf, NERF THEM!111 Battle Masters kill my naked centurion *** with 3 blasts OMG1112311 NERF" The only one who must be nerfed is Ops and scoundrels - they've been nerfed already and it's ok now. Snipers and smuggs are supposed to kill fast. Doters dot them and hide and they just die ticking. As for me i just burst them in my gunnery and they simply die before my shield goes down. The end of story. L2p and get better gear,,, and don't stand watching them when they're focusing you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoth Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Please nerf them. They can 3 - 4 shot any other class without criticals. Us gunslingers can do some nasty burst damage BUT were squishy as hell... we truly are the class cannon..... Marauders tear me a new one... Also have a hell of a time killing Tank specs thanks to there huge pool of Health... If I do bust damage on say a sorc who has a shield up my first 2 shots are worthless as there absorbed, after that I usually run out of energy before I get them below 30% health at which point they just run off and heal... Anyways Gunslingers are only dangerous if you ignore them... A good player goes after them first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomsaga Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Talking about the defense we do have is no way is relevant to the point I made that we have the least. Thanks for the non sequitur though. pretty sure sentinel has less defense just a couple of cd with long cds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadodm Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I can't believe i actually saw someone post gunslingers are Op... More to be the other way round, they need a serious look at and possibly slightly boosted. I play a lv50 sniper and I can tell you we have a hard time staying alive and are usually at the top in "deaths" in wz's. If you are a melee, yes you will take some heavy damage while running to us, but once you actually get to us, its game over for us. If youre ranged, use Dots, or spam rockets/missiles as a commando/merc and heal throughtout a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebubs Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 XS hits for 2.6k crits tops, in full champion gear... Get out of the fire The shield mitigates 20% of pew pew damage lol... That's only the large AoE shield that mitigates 20% damage. Our mobile cover adds 20% to ranged white attack defense, so basically it only works against snipers/gunslingers. Absolutely useless against melee/practically everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
