Is Gunslinger really hard to play at late game?

[Escape123]

I'm only in T2 on mine isn't as complicated as it seems though and if your really worried you CAN start off with the class engravings for just the 2 guns til you learn how they work. It is 2x the skills shotgun and Rifle only have 4 each though so its not terrible really.

No no! Check this! It is for deadeye, but they basically the same!

Also dont change weapons! Go for pistols only!
Myself playing Deadeye and it is superfun and fastest killer prob in this game!

It requires more finesse than many, you got 3 stance as your identity and using 16 skills instead of 8. While pistol stance is agile, your shotgun and sniper stance requires knowledge and planing because of their locking animations. So yea skill ceiling is high but it also quite fun if you like risk or precise playstyles.
There are differences between deadeye and gunslinger, with gunslinger you can tweak your build to not rely on back attacks which is a huge advantage while deadeye can make a build rely on pistol and more dependent to back attacks.

Its way harder than my pally or artillerist for what that worth. But they do have insane mobility so it's all about making that work for you. They just need a bit more skill and time to get good with them than some other classes really.

It requires a lot of stance dancing and using mobility skills a lot, if you're not struggling much with that then you're fine. People overblow how "complicated" it is to play, simply because you have to cycle stances a lot and keep in mind your cooldowns so you don't start a rotation into a CD

As a gunslinger main, doing normal content, raids and dungeons, you will need multiple builds. Main engravings to focus on though is peacemaker lvl 1 for accessories, and choosing between max cursed doll, hit master, adrenaline. There are some good build guides on YT, check some of them out. But what you really want is mobility and quicker cool downs. Also focus on Crit and swiftness for stats.

One of the lowest def coefficients in the game, with long animations, so once you hit legion content it is easy to floor POV. Swiftness is a recommended secondary stat to shorten animation time + cooldowns with crit being your main stat. Stance cycling is not that difficult, the difficulty comes from high APM rotations, cancelling the weapon swap animation so there is little to no down time in DPS and the aforementioned def value. Once you have your muscle memory established it is advisable to 'take your turn' doing damage during content you are fresh on. One of the strengths of the class is how much versatility it has in terms of landing damage, and once you know the mechanics well you can essentially pump DPS 24/7 as each weapon offers different opportunities for damage and burst windows. Really fun class with a high skill ceiling that rewards you for the time invested.
