Gunslinger

“

As a gun-toting wrecking machine, the Gunslinger is a unique martial artist; entering battle with dual wielding pistols capable of taking down the hardiest of enemies. Gunslingers can also make use of a special grappling hook that aids them in both offense and defense!

Visualizing their attacks as a “harmony of destruction,” the Gunslinger is seen as the maestro of combat, orchestrating an unstoppable barrage of gunfire against any opponents that get in their way. With lightning quick reflexes, this mobile shooter moves on the battlefield unlike any other warrior.

Gunslingers come to the table with an impressive array of skills that separate them from any other type of combatant. Able to channel the elements of Flame or Shadow, Gunslingers can generate special attacks that enhance their projectiles.

~ Official Class Description

Gunslinger

Difficulty	2/5, Easy
Race(s)	Jin, Yun, Lyn
Weapon	Gun

Gunslinger (also known as Maestro in Korean, and Soul Gunner in other regions) is the eleventh class to be added in Blade & Soul.

The Gunslinger class is designed for mid-range combat, with most powerful damage dealer skill and evading with grapping hook that can be used for offense and defense.

In the first update of Gunslinger class, this class is only available for the Jin and the Yun. However, in Fire Dragon update NCSOFT has made the class is available for the Lyn.

Races[ | ]

This class has race limitations and is only playable with three races: the Jin, the Yun, and the Lyn.

Resource Mechanic[ | ]

Gunslinger class has a bit different mechanics from the other classes e.g. Blade Master. Gunslinger places the damage with Quickshot

RMB click calls Quickshot skill which discharges character's Focus. Obviosly, you need a target in range to make a shot.

The skill generates Gunpowder on hit. Gunpowder is accumulated and then creates Explosive Round. Explosive Round is a powerful shot which can be made by e.g. Unload skill. Character can have up to five Explosive Round and spend it with various skills. The major taks of the gunslingers in resource management to have enough amount explosive round and find the best moment to deals ultimative damage by discharging all of them to the target effectivly.

LMB click calls Reload skill wich refills focus bar instantly and can be called anytime. Some skills like Standoff requires full focus thus you basic como is: LMB, 1, F

Anyway, you learn it from Brother Hajoon . You can not shoot with empty focus.

Next two amazing mechanis are using Hook with Whipline on level 8 as evasive action and getting Airborne with Skystone on level 20.
