So i getting tired/bored and not know what to do with my marauder. They have really really slow dpm which is why i might be get bored of. Should i make a reg str gunslinger its gonna get a pretty nice dex boost for all my dex equips off my marauder. The problem is gunslinger do crappy dmg as a (GUNSLINGER) hard to train. Bullet are hard to find and i dont like rech bullets its a pain in the butt. Help me decide Stay or Gunslinger

stay... imagine bfing and bossing in early lvls. Seems way more exciting than Corsair does, sitting in its Battleship, spammin bullets.. EDIT: early lvls meaning low 120's

Im so sad that i can't get past lvl 82 on my outlaw... Newties on anything , BUT 4x is a pain... So i'd recommend mauderer because at these lvls they have a higher range of training places...

i would say gunslingers because their damage 1-2nd job is average. once you reach 70 and put that 1 point into burst fire, the damage is crazy. However, im unfamiliar with the training downside because I leeched mine from 78-120 when leech was around. But 40-51 - free cpq wins. 51-70 lmpq or roids. thats all i know

[/quote] Really quite depends on the sin and the slinger you're comparing, but generally that's the case. When people say crappy damage, what I personally visualize is hitting under 1k in the 40s. The reason why I'm still playing this character is because there are those worse off in numbers, and that would be mages (given that they're using magic claw).

[quote] Augst : Gunslinger damage isn't crappy. [/quote] Then why does my level 39 NW hit 3.2k+ max per star while my level 47 slinger hits like 500 per bullet max? Equally funded characters btw.

I apologize for not making myself clearer, but what I meant was it's not CRAPPY. That doesn't mean the gunslinger would hit some omg high numbers like a Cygnus; by that reasoning all Adventurer damage is crappy. What I did mean, is that it's not intolerable. That really is up for debate, and ultimately depends on who you are; I came from the breed of omghainumbarsdexlesswarriors and I expected far less of my gunslinger. Edit: ohdarn, off topic again. OT: Stay with your marauder; it's not worth the effort to get to 8x again - on a slinger, no less. That would matter less if you're the sort to get to 8x in a week or so, but yeah.
