Why gunslingers are shit tier

Hi, as you may have noticed in game I am currently a gunslinger. This is actually my first time ever playing this class and overall, all I can say is this class is total shit. Never before have I encountered a class that is complete shit more than this. I will explain why. In the first few stages of the game for a gunslinger, not only do they less damage compared to all classes but they also scale badly in terms of damage even with every stat distributed to Dex. I'll also point out that specific classes have a passive ability that outshines other classes, where as gunslingers have none. They have useless skills like grenade, wings and shit like blank shot. Classes like hunters, sins have a passive ability that allows them to crit and have more accuracy. Warriors and mages have passive abilities which increase HP/MP. Before I end my rant, I know that you might be thinking that oh yeah, gunslingers are strong in 4th job. But are they really? Considering the fact that NL's outright out damages corsairs from start to finish, I do not think so. Let's also take in consideration that HP washing is a complete nonfactor for corsairs as well and at 4th job ships are not permanent, they have HP and expire. When they do expire your DPS drops more than half for 90 seconds. Whenever the server official server opens and this class doesn't get buffed early or late, ain't no way in holy hell I will be playing this class ever again.

Allow me to put it into perspective so you have a better understanding.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you disagree with me please state why. I'll end on a positive note, it's a fun class if you like staggering behind others.
