Convince me why Gunslinger is good
Ok, I've got my flame-proof armor on.
I enjoy playing Gunslinger, but the more I play it, the more I think the weakest subclass by far and is in need of additional attention. I play it for the challenge.
Let's compare with other subclasses/classes:
Has good armor: No
Has ability to gain over shield: No
Has a powerful grenade which will chase enemies: No
Has a grenade which will stick to enemies: No
Has abilities which will damage enemies which attack them: No
Has abilities to evade which exceed other or match Hunter subclasses: No
Has abilities which make long-range weapons or any weapon more effective: No, unless you count a stability perk which requires you to land headshots before it starts. Otherwise, every class is just as effective with every weapon as you. In fact, they're often better than you because they have better armor. They'll often kill you before you can kill them.
Has in-close melee which can kill with single hit: No
Pros:
Has good roaming super.
Has ranged-melee which cannot one-shot kill and requires great skill to not miss, but if you can land it, it's fun.
So, why am I wrong? What are the advantages Gunslinger has which make you play it? What abilities do you use to laugh in the faces of your enemies?

Hunters=H warlocks=W and titans=T H&W have ranged melees and blink T&W have overshields and high armoured supers (sunsinger and striker) H&W&T have support classes (if you can call sunsinger support) H&T can suppress supers W&H have an actual one shot melee (on stormcaller if ypu get meleed then melee someone with full health its a one shot)(and not counting shouldercharge because its not a melee overide) W&H have the most neutral subclasses T&H have high armour T&W have high recovery H&W have high agility H&T have a Dodge ability Regardless each super is at its best atm except defender IMO i feel it should take 3 GG shots to go away and absorb a full nova bomb, but thats how i feel about it. GG= range BD= close agility NS= support (quiver should not kill) NB= ranged explosive SS= solo support class SC= crowd control S= small aoe (objective controller) D= support and buffer SB= a mix of blade and stormtance Also can I mention one thing? Why is it a robe wearing guardian has more armour then a plate/armoured wearing one???? But regardless each class has their own strengths and weakness, golden gun sacrifices armour for accuracy and range.

Sorry don't agree.

We all have our advantages and disadvantages hunters have speed warlocks have range and titans have armor [spoiler]but in reality a titan with Max armor still dies at the same rate as a low armor high agility hunter but I don't say much[/spoiler]

5 RepliesI can convince you gunslinger is averaging very very well on the crucible playlists. The only thing imo that doesnt make sense is the throwing knife nerf. People running low armour should be punished.
-
Not gonna argue there, but post nerf it was a different story. Now, try Hawkmoon/first curse/ace of spades 1-shot with knife follow up. Easy to master and will stop anything

you become a space cowboy/cowgirl

In response to your title as a Hunter I can't it's our worst subclass
-
Check this iron banner stats it is the top subclass so far. It is still an awesome subclass to use. http://guardian.gg/en/subclass/gunslinger

love gunslinger more than anything, tripmine great for killing people rushing you, incendiary great for offensive play when you outnumbered, never used swarm but i know there's lot of guy that use it and did great with it, then, throwing knife great for finishing people or even for starting a gunfight when someone catch you by surprise mid-range, super are definitely great too, no need to be afraid of fist of panic, and i still don't understand why people still talking about armor, the only different i know from armor thingy is that you really need max armor like really max to make it any different, so as long as you run at least medium armor, i would say everything is just as the same, hell, i sometime even run minimum armor on sunsinger just for the mobility, and why the need for max armor if you can avoid shoulder charge and sticky grenade from the first place ?

Easiest for new players to get some easy kills. Overall it is close to the worst. I started with it and after the throwing knife nerf developed a warlock and Titan. So the nerf helped me by hurting me. You can get more super kills with hammer of sol and storm trance. I think it is easiest to die with while using. You can shoot people from next area code though

2 RepliesGunslinger subclass has a max armour of 7, the same as sunsinger, stormcaller, bladedancer, and nightstalker. Voidwalker has a max of 8. Gunslinger has the same armour as half of the subclasses in the game.

I play all 3 classes regularly and switch between all 3 subclass on them regularly with different setups pretty much every couple games and I have to say the Gunslinger would be the one that I use when I want to perform my best. Golden Gun is the easiest and in my opinion, most effective super period. Three quick and ranged insta-kills. Throwing knives help me clean up in close quarters when my fusion doesn't OHK or when I'm rushed by a guardian not at full health. Tripmines, even after that random nerf are STILL, again in my opinion, the best grenade in the game when paired with the YAS (which is the only exotic I would run), here's why: They're scary, high damage, quick and long throw, good for choke points, damage multiple enemies, and with the exotic they last forever with two of them. And on occasion still OHK. As for the passives, chain of woe and gunslingers trance dramatically improve the performance of any gun, especially primaries. TL:DR Gunslingers are my best performing class. Enjoy.

K... about this... Has good armor: No, but that's Hunters Has ability to gain over shield: No Hunter can Has a powerful grenade which will chase enemies: Swarm. Also, Titans don't have any on any class. Has a grenade which will stick to enemies: Tripmine Nerf was a little too far. One point to you. Has abilities which will damage enemies which attack them: Incendiary Grenade/Blade Has abilities to evade which exceed other or match Hunter subclasses: Triple Jump or Better Control with Bones is the best movement combo in the game now that Shadestep got nerfed. Has abilities which make long-range weapons or any weapon more effective: Gunslingers Trance. Yeah, I count it. Headshots are pretty easy to land, especially if you're sniping, so... yeah. And you may have low armor but you have, potentially, tons of agility and movement capabilities, so while they may hit you for a lot, actually hitting you at all is that much harder. Has in-close melee which can kill with single hit: No, cuz they have one that can kill from across the map. Also, you have a roaming super with ridiculous range and instant bullet travel time. And you have the potential for infinite throwing knives if you're good. And picking up ammo of any kind helps recharge your grenades and knives. And your's is one of two roaming supers that doesn't change your POV, and the other one just got nerfed super hard. So... yeah. Pro tip that I got from True Vanguard...throw knives when you're above people. Head is much easier to hit when it's the only thing to hit.

4 RepliesIt has the best super by far and I'm still getting a ton of kills with trip mines, even after the nerf. I think the change in trip mines actually helps you to think how to use it rather than lobbing it at someone who catches you by surprise in a panic.

3 RepliesIt's hilarious how people bitch about armor, as if there's any major difference between the classes. If you put max armor on a Gunslinger you will have within just a few points of "health" of a max armor Titan or Warlock. That small difference rarely matters. Cry more.

Gunslinger can snipe without a scope.😂😂😂

Used to have a decent grenade.

Don't need to convince you. It is good.

Nah, it's good. This is a you problem.

I'm with ya. I main a hunter and it's my least favorite of the three classes.
