Gunner has no place in this game. Its litterally a Cash grab to appease the minority cause you know damn well that majority of people never asked for it. Another thing is that we already have 4 classes maybe 5 if you count Zerker's Cannon on awake as Range. Why do we need more Range Classes in the game? you got Archer and Ranger with Bows and Arrows. And you got Witch and Wizard as casters. Why, bring a class with futureristic technology that Pushes the Archers and Rangers out of play??? You Shoot yourself in the Foot with the Greed dude..wtf.
I can already see the nonsense. Im calling it right, The Class is going to have skills related to Archer AND Ranger right, And Take protection from them but less gaps. Loaded with SA and Ranged Frontal Gaurds. Rinse and repeat. Its just going to be a better version of Archer and Ranger to push people to roll off.
To be fair the aim is probably not Futuristic, most likely they are looking at Ancient Weapons technology like Hystria Ancients. The class will probably be a duel wield class that focuses on Ancient weapon technology.
It just doesn't fit with the game at all. Will it dual weild pistols? A long rifle? Sub weapon - grenades? Awakening weapon - rocket launcher? Can't they just make something WAY cooler and more thematic? DRUID?! Some sort of shapeshifter/beastial kinda class?! (no succ zerk isn't it) I've heard people ask for a necromancer theme or a dwarven/orcish warhammer type class.. that'd be cool. But man gunner is just not it.
(tbh i'd rather them just fix the game we have and not add more atm)
The next will be if this comes true all the wanna be mass killers will want AK 47s.. There is enough real world BS and to have to deal with that mentality in game is just not right.. Let them go play a first person shooter...
