Slightly Increase Gunslinger Double Shot Range

Hello there, first post here. Hopefully this is the correct section

As you all might know, in LPQ, gunslingers can't hit the monster in the level that requires ranged attacker unless they have wings (which, in turn, takes a long time). Can the range of the Double Shot skill be slightly increased so that it can hit the mob from that distance? I doubt it will unbalance the game too far if its just a slight increase. Think about it, what if an assassin or bowman is not available in the party? Please, do give it a consideration. Thanks in advance.

 

I disagree. I don't get wings till later levels (had to stabilize damage with mastery and also get a mob skill aka invisible bullet and flag) Can we just shoot from afar like assassins and bowmen?

 

Actually I do not think this has anything to do with corsairs struggling till they hit 120.The struggle happens because of DAMAGE and I'm talking about RANGE here. I doubt the range difference is that noticeable outside LPQ.

Anyhow, I still stand by the notion that the range should be extended slightly. And just curious... what's your build? I do not get wings and other mobility related skills till late levels. Mastery, Mobbing skills, booster takes priority, don't they?
Tldr Not every gunslinger has wings and recoil at LPQ levels.

And until this suggestion has been rejected or accepted by the mods, I still stand by my original motion. If someone wants to make a case against my suggestion, please do. I earnestly feel that my idea would not disrupt the game at all and is in fact a helpful one.

 

Firstly, apologise for the late reply. Been caught up with some work and bad connection lately...

And isn't gunslinger a ranged class? I was of the impression it is. In fact the way the bullets works and how they need to be recharged strongly remind me of an assassin. Furthermore, I recalled the range was eventually extended slightly in a later update in GMS. Kinda shows that gunslingers were intended by the devs to be ranged class after all eh?

And United... your analogy about giving dit more HP since its melee is invalid. Firstly, I am not saying to increase EVERY gunslinger skill range, but just the double shot skill range. It's already quite far and increasing a little bit more, just enough for gunslinger to hit the ranged monster in LPQ won't make too much of a difference right? Outside of LPQ, would anyone even notice that little increase? If I said to increase range of other skills like invisible bullet and flag then it might potentially make things imbalance as those skills are more medium range than long range.

Also... Why the hell does everyone insisting Wings? Mobility skills are a waste of point and should be low priority in favour offensive skill. But fine, I would put some skills points in just in case.

Lastly, think of the good it can do. If a party has no bowmen and assassins it saves time to just float and shoot the rats in LPQ right? I am sure the party inside LPQ would be glad not to wait for the gunslinger to float, shoot climb up again and repeat if they have no other ranged class available.
