    Right now Pirate's double shot is way too weak. At lvl 20, it does 80% x 2 of attack damage. By comparison, bowman's double shot does 130% x 2 of attack. Plus bows have higher base att than guns too. So I think pirates' double shot needs to be buffed to 110% x 2 like what's on bbb hiddenstreet.

    Even though it's faster, we're doing significantly less damage on each hit AND we don't ever get crit :(

    Even more reason to give them a buff. Gunslingers have a hard enough time trying to lvl to 3rd job. And even harder trying to pq w/ no party skill and outclassed damage. For example, in the early lvl 40s, a lukless mage 5-6 lvls below me could do double my damage -_-
    Also, it's unviable to go str-less on this server due to lack of maple guns. This isn't a buff I'm asking as a favor, this is something that was patched in GMS pre big bang, and I think should be the case here too.

    Why pick a job if its to hard? U play it for fun not to @dpm at lvl 30

    And what do you mean with no pq cuz no pt skill? Partyquest=Party you gotta finish it with a pt noone cares who deals dmg or has a skill all that matters is that you can end it

    The thing about corsairs is they're like carries in MOBAs
    Early game is rough but the end game payoff is some of the highest single target dps in the game.
    I do agree the early game of gunslingers is just awful, especially since other classes like bowmen and sins have decent early game dmg and get about the same late game dps boost.
    But Cozy is right, the speed of using double shot with booster standing still and being able to jump shot make gunslingers better than they appear imho
    Source: have outlaw, early game hit about as much as my hunter because of attack speed

    The thing about pirates is that say you're trying to do doubleshot in close quarters, but then you get mobbed. Then you can start doing somersault kick.

    From the get go, they are like a hybrid/weird class, so there's no point expecting 100% equality from two skills that seem similar.

    Of course people care who can deal damage in a pq. The more dmg = faster pq time = more exp/hr.

    Maple isn't like a moba though, in mobas you don't have to play for months to reach endgame. Also weak early carries in mobas tend to have their team support them a lot more.

    I had a ranger on another server and Im sure I did more dps in the 40s-50s than slinger because of crit and better mobbing skill.

    Also, do singers use ssk? I thought it's only for first job so they can lvl faster. Once they get gun mastery ssk falls off in damage.

    I used ssk until level 30 with a surfboard/tuna. Damage was fine in KPQ as far as I remember; I think I actually killed faster than bowmen since I mobbed 3 gators at once. People in LPQ didn't give two shits that I did no damage; I actually PQ'd with randoms on my 240 base int sin who didn't attack. I always did 2 portals + lead stage 8 on both chars to compensate for the damage though.

    I think double shot right now is fine, and I levelled two slingers to level 50 with no leech. The real pain is level 80 to 108 if you don't own a mage or can afford leech, but that applies to most classes in v.62 Maple anyway.

    I WRECKED LPQ WITH MY GUNSLINGER.

    Yes, the numbers may look low, but we got mobility + accuracy + speed. The damage really adds up.
    On the other hand, slingers are known to suck until 4th job, I feel you.
