I hope there is going to be a gun specialist class amidst in this Victorian world, some ideas I have already gone over before to be incorporated with shooting fire arms.



So, with the use of guns, I hope it's not going to be a simple tool to shoot, I hope it involves multipliers specific to said guns and passive skills adhering to that weaponry, some ideas for them being penetration, range and spread, one being more effective on another type of gun (shotgun having better spread, rifle having better range etc). As well chance for modifications to improve your weaponry and altered ammunition to add additional effects of damage increase (poison, burns, bleed, explosive etc). Of course with the application on all weapons.



A skill set I imagine to be along the lines of focused shots, multiple shots etc, but not a hunter oriented class.

And for the love of god please tell me there is shotguns?

I think firearms are the only ranged weapon (no bows) so a gun based class is a dead certainty.
I'm sure all the skills you expect will feature and hopefully a few surprises too, I believe the combat video shows some kind of landmine skill so traps and explosives could be a significant part of it.

That feels too much of an re-imagining of a hunter class to be honest, maybe the addition of demolitions would make for an interesting class but add traps and you may as well call it a hunter.

pretty sure no matter what you do, it will be a "reimagining " of some class

I don't think you can even begin to start to consider the current "gun class" as a reimagined/overdone class because eh, there is currently NO info about it yet. Just wait til you see something official before criticizing it.

Also - there ARE shotguns, medierra confirmed one screenshot had a triple barreled shotgun. I don't know how they work or if they react differently than a rifle (bullet spread, short range, etc) but like I said, no info about it.
