Are gunslingers going extinct in PvP?
The title says it all. "Are gunslingers going extinct in PvP?"
The amount of time I put into PvP I rarely run into any gunslingers. Not saying we don't exist just that there are less and less of us In PvP anymore.
-
2 RepliesIs this a joke lol? Gunslinger is arguably the best subclass to use in PvP and the statistics show that Hunters outperform other classes within the Crucible by a significant margin.
-
2 RepliesI use gunslinger on every single map because this can happen
-
Lol no... I used mine yesterday in PvP for the first time in ages! I got 20+ kills with a 2.0 k/d ratio and I'm rubbish at crucible! Oh and I was a 33 hunter too on iron banner!
-
I run gunslinger for hallway maps and bladedancers for corners. Adapt to the map, don't be a one trick pony.
-
I run half n half
-
4 RepliesGunslinger through and through. PvE and PvP and PoE. Even if you tell me to go invisible to revive you, I'll just risk it for the biscuit and stay on my Gunslinger. XD
-
I only run gunslinger
-
I love the Gunslinger, and I can't stand the blade dancer. Literally the only time I played as a Blade dancer is when I would sword bear on Hard Crota before HoW. I think we're an endangered species, but we're not out of this fight yet.
-
No, because they can cancel every super it looks like

1 ReplyNew players think that their second class is "more advanced" or "I have my new class and you don't." This I feel is wrong. Hunters simply have to find what their play style is. I personally use a little of both. I use a lot of bladedancer in PVE because of cloaking and when I am being mobbed by melee enemies, I use arc blade. I recently use it a lot more in PvP. Still, gunslinger is my go-to PvP subclass. The long range stopping power of golden gun with the throwing knife makes it a Call of Duty class[spoiler]check out some of my forums[/spoiler]

1 ReplyI swap between them but I actually like using Gunslinger for control, depending on the map of course. Run the Symbiote helm and combustion, catch 3-4 people taking a control point and you can wipe them all out even if they're using a Titan bubble.

Edited by Xone: 7/3/2015 3:40:34 PMLook at me Hunter, he's averaging 17 kills a match in Iron Banner, because throwing knives are incredible :) and I'm usually matched with fellow Gunslingers too, so we literally burn away the competition I'll admit, Bladedancer has more of an advantage in close quarters map, with shotty and Blink Strike, but I've got more of a stronger feel with Gunslinger
-
In 6v6 I gunslinger if I am sniping... But for 3v3 the blade dancer' s movement is too strong
-
Lol imma GunSlinger in PvP. Not PvE tho. They are trash in PvE, unless its VoG.
-
Gunslinger. I see it fairly often. Gonna play the shit out of Nightstalker though.
-
2 RepliesWell I get shot by a golden gun several times a game sooo id say no
-
3 RepliesDepends on the map, like on anomaly, it's more efficient to be a shotgun tank as a bladedancer. Gg is harder to use on a very small map
-
Edited by Elitespear: 7/3/2015 1:36:59 PMI run gunslinger although blink and quickdraw are huge advantages. I just prefer triple jump and golden gun. Feels more precise. Plus I love a throwing knife kill and tripmines.
-
I always use GG. The triple jump is so handy and GG is a nice way to finish 3+ guys if they capping a zone. Throwing knife and the spike grenade (i think that's it's name) are also very useful.
-
I get golden gunned every other crucible match so no
-
Nope watch this bro http://youtu.be/UPI9z2CxTDo
-
I used to be nothing but blade dancer and stayed far away from PVP. I recently got into PVP and now I prefer gunslinger. Super with range, that oh so sweet chain of woe and gunslinger trance that makes my shots steady and reload fast, and the fun of the throwing knife.
-
I'm going back to gunslinger from bladedancer. Mainly used BD in crucible to try it out and for the thorn bounty. It's time to go back to throwing knives.
-
We're all going for grimoire now and are only using our other 2 classes for the 5000 crucible kills.

Yes... I use to enjoy playing as my hunter... Whatever Bungie did to the hunters makes them weak.... Before anyone starts ranting, when I say weak... go into Iron banner with your hunter now before you start the match set you armor all the way down the lowest it will go... When you do this match got head to head in the open with your opponents, keep charging and play hard but for this test do run away or hide to let your shield recharge. Pay attention to how many shots you can take to get you to red and or kill you and your speed.... Now next match do the opposite, set you armor all the way up and do same, paying attention to the same things..... If you did head to head with out running and hiding or jumping to avoid shots or stay alive you should have notice.... Nothing.... It is the same in PVE too, the armor options feel just as worthless and the icebreaker with the scopes that don't changes stats or benefit you any different from the others. I do remember hearing about Bungie needing the blade dancers health while blade dancing and I can tell that, it's sucks, but as we all know when Bungie goes to nerf one thing they tend to screw up A LOT more leaving bugs and glitch that benefit the enemy's, but that's a whole nots poop sandwich we are always left with....

Gunslinger for life. SPACE COWBOY!
