Peacemaker (7M) Gunslinger Build Guide for PvE

Gunslinger’s main strength is her ability to constantly deal damage from any range, which requires correctly cycling between your three weapons based on the situation.

Your main damage skills have long animations, and are often “backloaded” (most of the damage comes at the end of the skill animation). This means proper positioning and knowledge of boss patterns is required to reach your full damage potential.
