Legendary Shotgun

[decinoge]

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and quite recent to the Forsaken RO. Great server btw.

[edit]

I would like to formally request for a Legendary type Shotgun.

Same stat boost as the Legendary Revolver, with the Enlarge Weight Limit and the Necromancer Hood null effect.

Increase damage 15% on Dust skill, and 10%~20% on Full Buster.

[/edit]

My main character is a Gunslinger, and when I got my legendary weapon, I was given a revolver.

It is cool, and very useful, but I think the class itself might be under-powered because there are some very interesting Shotgun builds out there.

The lack of a Shotgun with 4 slots, and some start boosting, sabotages people's attempts to take those builds to a competitive level.

If nothing else, for the fact that makes the Gunslinger structurally different from the archer-long-range-type.

Personally I prefer to use a Shotgun, and like I usually say on other types of games "there are few problems in life that cannot be solved with a Shotgun".

I have also got some feedback from other users that a Gatling would also be a nice addition, but I'm just going for the Shotgun in this post.

I also prefer the shotgun, however we would need community input on what the stats of the shotgun would be. So far, in other threads similar to this, we cannot exactly give out good stats that would be decent. Most are either underwhelming or overpowered.

Oh... I did a search on the forum for any shotgun talk, and I didn't get any results (could you please link me the thread?). Sorry about that.

Anyway, I didn't even thought that was a problem in the first place, so I guess I'll leave a suggestion myself in here.

Same stat boost as the Legendary Revolver, with the Enlarge Weight Limit and the Necromancer Hood null effect.

Increase damage 15% on Dust skill, and 10%~20% on Full Buster.

The skill itself is already pretty strong, it would need care not to get overkill, but 20% might be a good option to give it a fighting chance as an alternative to Sniper.

All I am pointing here is exactly the same as the Legendary Revolver, but as a shotgun.

Maybe we can start by adding 4 slotted versions of all guntypes and go from there. Since they won't have additional stats they probably won't be overpowered, but they'd give the opportunity for GS players to figure out what specifically the weapon lacks in comparison to other Valk/Legendary weapons.

The main issue I can think of are these

1. Is Full Buster spammable enough for our fast paced pvp? Because if it is not then it is rather pointless unless we make it's damage big enough to compensate that.

2. I would love to see Rifles as well, but the only notable skill it has imo is Tracking, which has a LONG cast time.

3. Gatling guns can't work well here as we can easily achieve 195 aspd on the revolvers, and Gatling are mainly used for auto-attacks.

As ChainBreak said a 4 slotted shotgun would be a good start, I must admit.

But I don't see a real problem on having the same stat boosts as the Legendary Revolver (I must admit I could be failing to see a detail.

As for the 3 issues by Rayray:

* Full Buster seems to be as spammable as Rapid Shower (maybe a tiny bit faster after cast). Might not be useful on PVP, but I definitely see it useful for WOE, specially on some narrow corridors (since shotgun has hit area without the need of Baphomet).

* Like I said, this is just a request for a Legendary Shotgun, better to stick to the subject as it says on the Request Rules thread.

* Same as the previous point.
