Gunslinger Revamp?

[Al Kapwn]

Hey - I'm new here, and noticed Gunslingers seemed to be a bit neglected. It looks like y'all have some talent with artists and spriters so might I suggest a revamp to the gunslingers?

- One thing I've always pushed for since their release was a re-do of the actual sprite. Lets face it.. gunslinger sprites look horrible. No one wants to play a class that looks that bad.

- Another thing, guns are way out dated now. Maybe make some forsaken quests to update them and sprite some new ones on top of it? Since I don't know the stat ranges here yet, can some other people post their ideas on what would be fair on gun stats?

- I saw a guy on eA named Davven who did a motorcycle 'mount' for gunslingers awhile back. I didn't like the ride itself, but the idea is awesome if someone could sprite a 2 wheeler - just something to encourage diversity in classes.

Maybe for a new gun make a, "Turret" - the gun shoots slow but with deadly power (again, I don't know stat statistics here yet so these could be under/over powered)

+ 30 Dex

+ 20% Hp/Sp

+ 65% Dmg. Dealt to Demi-Humans

Reduces ASPD by 15-20(?)

Ballistik 50'cal Turret: (a big gun like a gattling)

+ 30 Dex

+ 20% Hp/Sp

+ 15% Dmg. Dealth to Demi-Humans

+ 10% Mdef

+ 7% Reflection Damage

Artillery Gun:

+ 30 Dex

+ 15 Agi

+ 15% Hp

+ 15% Dmg. Dealth to Demi-Humans

+ 5% Mdef

Splash Damage

Very small chance to coma an enemy

BTW - None of those guns you would be able to use Desp. with before I get called stupid :)

I'm not good at making up stats either, but I like the direction.

I would like to play gunslinger using a shield, and by that I mean their other guns such as the rifle, gatling, or shotgun.

LOL, quite opposite for me. I love the way gunslingers look...

LETS GIVE THEM LASOR CANNONZ. I agree with a c00ler gun with some demihuman reductions since they're so soft.

I don't know about that...

Now for this new "Turret" class weapon... high rates are all about fast paced action and I don't think anyone would use something too slow.

NOT WITH A SHIELD, 2-HANDED WITH DEMIHUMAN REDUCTIONS NOT RIVALING FSHIELD+USAKO.

its a good and interesting concept, some of the things you're suggesting are "a bit much" for most spriters

there are servers with certain themes and focuses on certain classes hence why the gunslinger on the server u mentioned would have had a motorcycle mount.

however our server has no such focus, we're balanced to as much an extent we can on these higher rate type servers.

im pretty sure at least that portion of the suggestion will be rejected, because while we have customs, this server typically sticks to the skills and limitations of most classes (Most, because as of late we have a 1-handed sniper bow)

the idea for the revamping of the gunslinger class as a concept is good. i'll add in the fact that while giving gunslingers a shield may become overpowered, they should find some way to tank single normal asuras for the least somehow (give the gun calculated demi or neutral resists or something)

full asuras should at least by right take them out. and considering a champ going full asura is gimping out on life, i find that it would be more fair for such and ordeal.

gunslingers do enough damage, and if you play right, as most do they can be very lethal.

btw love the specifications on the e.weapons your suggesting xD

if i may, i wanna put in my bid for an m4 Ar with a no0b tube. except allow it to make my aspd 199 and the n00b tubes cast meteor storm by a 30% chance LOL JK! (sry i had a bit of fun with that one)

overall good idea, and welcome to the server

oh and gunslingers look cool for the most except for the open chest area thing going on. i guess some sprites could be made to give them proper clothing or something, its as if they were ymca or something now lol

edit:

oh and as for the turret thing, Gunslingers do have other skills beside desperado

if the "turret"- type weapon would be iplimented it could do something similar in effect to the Lord Knight's halberd and improve damage on full buster, gatling fever Or tracking or something (BTw my N00b tube thing =Ground drift so ya it legit idea menz ./gg)

For the first part of your suggestion, concerning the sprites: you would have to ask one of the spriters and probably also Genesis about doing something like this. It sounds like it would a lot of work though and I don't know if anyone could do it. I don't know so I can't really accept/reject that part.

As for the rest, the gunslingers haven't had Valkyrie weapons released yet but I like the idea of your stat suggestions. We can definitely try to do things of this nature and will focus on bringing the class up to par with others, so no worries about that.

Thank you for your well-thought out suggestion! It's appreciated.
