Sharpshooter, Artillerist, Deadeye, or Gunslinger

While the Sharpshooter, Artillerist, Deadeye, and Gunslinger all fall under the banner of the Gunner class, they each offer different playstyles that you need to be familiar with.

For starters, the Gunslinger and Deadeye classes are masters of guns with a weapon for every occasion. Capable of wielding double handguns, a shotgun, and a rifle, these classes are perfect for anyone who loves to switch weapons on the fly and dish out damage while dodging any lethal attacks that come their way.

By far the tankiest of the Gunner classes, the Artillerist is not lacking in firepower and has some of the most deadly AoE abilities in the game. Despite lacking mobility, they make up for it in raw damage, but the wind-up time of certain attacks makes timing absolutely essential on the Artillerist.

Finally, the Sharpshooter is for those who prefer to wield a bow rather than a gun, cycling through a variety of custom arrows to exploit their enemy’s weaknesses. Not only that, the survivability of the class allows them to stay in the fight for the long haul, making them a consistent damage dealer no matter what an encounter brings.
