THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Pistols - Your main utility weapon with Lost Ark Gold Gunslinger, offering buffs, debuffs, and essential movement abilities. Shotgun - Close range damage, the staple of your burst damage Sniper - Ranged damage (the attacks on this thing feel amazing)

Your playstyle on the Gunslinger is dependent on your choice of class Engraving: Peacemaker or Time To Hunt. We will cover these in more depth below, but just as a quick preface, Time To Hunt is popular for clearing Chaos Dungeons and some Raid content thanks to the high-power Rifle skills, although it does remove the Shotgun entirely from play. Most builds make use of all three of the Gunslinger's weapons, both for damage and for providing buffs/debuffs to you and your party.

In short, the Gunslinger is a pretty enjoyable class to play, especially in regard to the mobility and utility awarded from using her Pistols. She does take a bit of practice to master, however, as you need to focus on a lot of moving parts - knowing when to swap weapons, monitoring debuffs (as they won't stack on top of each other), and navigating through your cooldowns.

A lot of players have a hard time choosing between the Deadeye and the Gunslinger. This overview is designed to give you a better idea of what you're getting into when you choose the Gunslinger as a main. Keep in mind that both the Deadeye and Gunslinger classes are not easy to master. Both classes have been recently buffed/nerfed and tweaked on the KR servers, which means they're clearly not quite in the right spot yet.

Pros Feels really fluid to play with a bit of practice Lots of mobility Plenty of damage Compared to Deadeye cheapest Lost Ark Gold, the Gunslinger has extra range and more positional play - this means you should get hit less than the close-range gameplay of the DE Less reliance on back attacks than other DPS classes, including Deadeye Cons Quite squishy Difficult to play, you have to master the cooldowns, debuffs, and what's going on in the fight and rotate as necessary.
