Heya. I want to throw out another suggestion of mine and this is slightly simpler than the last: updating old level 3 & 4 Gunslinger weapons.

 

According to the patch notes, the July 16th Megapatch of last year improved a lot of old unloved weapons and brought more use to them with improved auto-cast chances, added effects and better ATK/MATK values. However, it seems that guns were not included in these changes. I'm not talking about the new Rebellion arsenal, I'm talking about those from back in Slinger days.

 

Gatling Gun

•     Butcher [0]                      #13158
•     Butcher [1]                      #13159

Revolver

•     Gold Lux [0]                     #13106
•     Wasteland's Outlaw [2]    #13107

Rifle

•     Jungle Carbine [0]           #13165
•     Jungle Carbine [1]           #13166
•     Lever Action Rifle [2]       #13170
•     Long Barrel [0]                #13163
•     Long Barrel [1]                #13164

Shotgun

•     Gate Keeper-DD [0]       #13167
•     Thunder P [1]                 #13168
•     Thunder P [2]                 #13169
   

These are all forgotten Gunslinger weapons and all of them aside from both versions of Butcher (quest-able) as well as Thunder P [1]  and Long Barrel [0] (NPC shops) are drop only. All of them, aside from Gold Lux [0] have a level requirements of 68 or 70 to equip. It doesn't sit well that once a Gunslinger reaches Rebellion, their weapon progression are streamlined to only NPC weapons. I'm not asking to make these as good as the new guns, just make at least some of them considerable choices for Rebellions through improved bonuses or added effects (like what was done to Kaiser Knuckles) aside from straight statistical boosts. Some of the more interesting ones from the list includes Lever Action Rifle's massive Crit bonus and Gate Keeper-DD's defensive perks. The ASPD and HIT bonus of Wasteland's Outlaw is good but it's simply lacking in wATK while Gold Lux's old utility of free coin generation is obsolete due to Rich's Coin and Coin Flip not removing coins on failure anymore.

Gunslingers already do considerably more damage than the rest of second jobs so I'm unsure about buffing those low level weapons. Though, most of them now drop from level 100+ content so they could be buffed and the level requirement raised to 100.

I forgot this is a low rate and Gunslingers were made to be closer to pre-3rds. Well, as you mentioned, they most of them are dropped by level 100+ mobs so thank you for your consideration.

 

Rebellion Awakening though *drool*

Why AK-47 doesn't have aspd bonus for autoattack rifle skills, but insetad has some crit?

 

Also don't go overboard so that gunslinger would be left with no guns because everything meaningfull was moved to rebel. Life of a gunslinger without western outlaw would be pretty sad, even though you turbocharge through first 99 lvls easily in no time.

 

Stuff what only drops from monetrs, like butcher gatling could be made into specialized weapons without atk increase. Just slap something like 100% additional damage on brutes or something and suddenly it's still usable by gunslinger with the same damage on everything except brutes, and useful on rebel when hunting brutes either forever, or until you get lvl high enough for best gatling.

 

Praise the Rennac.
