[Gunslinger] Burst Fire; the noob trap.

I vote that we nerf double shot back to 80%, and make burstfire its own skill so that we can keep using double shot after we add burstfire.

 

I dont think we should make slingers anymore challenging as it is now. Training up until lvl 90 was already painful for me.

It would be great if we could get some client modifications to make burst fire a separate skill though. I always feel like I got boned with altered event drop rates because corsairs dont have fast, low level single target damage skills to farm event items. The lowest level single target skill we have is burst fire, which has too long of a cast time and is too high in level to be used as a event farming tool. I think corsairs are literally the only class out there without a first job single target skill

 

rapid fire walking (tapping it as you walk) is way faster than double shot anyways

 

It is faster but from what I’ve heard, 4th job skills have the lowest event drop rates. Actually, I have yet to see any event drops coming from a rapid fire kill.. which I noticed after s0mething pointed out he was getting no event drops with hurricane

 

Either make triple shot faster or make double shot and triple shot separate skills

 

From what I and others have concluded, Hurricane/ rapid fire's event farming abilities were slightly nerfed. Using strafe can definitely yield better rates than hurricane, assuming you're 1 hitting the monsters. Never tested double shot vs strafe, but I would assume it's the same.

 

You do have a fast, first job, single target skill though. Flash Fist.

 

It annoys me greatly that we even have to speculate about something like this, why can't admins tell us about their super-custom class-dependent drop rates every thread on this topic is ignored

 

I have no regrets, this is exactly why I chose to max FLASH FIST (first job punching skill) because of how event drops work.

 

Wait so how exactly do event drops work? class specific? skill specific too i presume?

 

1v1 skills yield a greater drop rate for event etcs rather than those who hit multiple mobs, e.g. Genesis/Blizzard/Meteor will yield a lower drop rate than someone using power strike.

Apparently 1v1 4th job skills (hurricane, rapid fire, triple throw) got their drop rates nerfed

 

I think the only thing we know for sure is that certain drop rates are affected by which skill was used to kill a mob, such that skills like Genesis have a lower drop rate
