I've seen videos of gunslingers and they look like SO MUCH FUN :D But I'm not sure if it's my type of class. I know the damage is low, but is it lower than normal luk mages (average equips)? Do gunslingers/corsairs need lots of funding? When I get a class to 40, I love doing pypq, can gunslingers do that? Or do they gun whack like archers with their bows (I've seen vids of gunslingers gun whacking, but when I made a pirate and lvled it to 20, my gun could hit at close range without whacking, does the whacking occur after the job adv? And lastly, are they fun/enjoyable to play? I don't like looking at guides for my questions cuz they're usually outdated. And list pros and cons if possible If you answers all my questions you get a cookie!1

I started out with 700k and I'm doing perfectly fine. Like every other class though, funding can help. Gunslingers can PyPQ with SSK, it's more effective than Invisible Shot. Pirates only whack when you use the regular attack, they are able to shoot close range with any other Skill. As for being enjoyable, I love them. To make up for their low damage, they have great mobility and they're versatile as well.

They changed it with the "balance patch" or return of the explorers.

Pros: Fun, high damage at about lvl 80, you can fly <333, get onto hene roof by urself, high dps at high lvls, don't whack like sins and bowman, highest hp amounst the long range classes, can jump and att (with most atts), summons to help them, good at bossing due to homing, can freeze burn n stun, bullets and pirate equips r cheap and otherthings that i cant think of atm, Cons: Low dmg from lvl1-75ish, cant mob efficiently until 4th job, everyone thinks ur a noob until 3rd job, not prioritized in pqs so u always get chosen last, hard to lvl from 50-70, need motivation to get to 120, limited number of training spots, lvl 120-130 will suck becuz ur ship breaks alot and maybe more but not many more cons.. Overall gunners are REALLY FUN to play, but u need a little motivation at times <33 For motivation i just watched utube vids of sairs :P U dont need much funding at all though it will b good, i recomend making ur str as low as possible, and i recommend this class to people who like challenges and r motivated
