Gunslinger!

[Omeganyn]

I was thinking over the warp and i cant find a list of charecter ideas that have already been made, but i thought this would be a no brainer really. A class based loosely on the old western gunsligers that use quickdraws and revolvers with limited shots, quick reload skills and pinpoint accuracy with trickgunplay, like shooting the edge of a wall to bounce a bullet around a corner and nail the enemy in the dome! you could even add a bullet specilization, like explosive shot. Or have them run around with some TNT and throw that into the fray of combat! Revolvers, shotguns and chainguns! go for the modded wild west!

I am all for this, and would like to humbly suggest these additions:
1, ammo is unlimited
2, there's a firing mechanism so's we can shoot without having to click a specific enemy. I'd love to see an ARPG with dual-stick, Geometry Wars type controls for ranged classes.

That's a great idea - if nicely done it complements the demolition class.

Ammo will be unlimited (you'll probably have a special ammo item like a relic for upgrading your firepower, but this object will be permanent) and yeah, I like this class idea.
Not 100% victorian, but I'd really like playing this taciturn guy (who could fit pretty well in Cairn imho).

It wouldn't have to be called gunslinger as long as it fits to a similar idea of the class proposed, right? You could use weapons that will be in the game that are similar in comparison. I like the idea if it can fit the time period.

I think Gunslinger is a pretty cool name

Also, throw in Ricocheting as a skill. Could be an ever bouncing bullet (more skillpoints give more and stronger bounces) or much like Scatter Shot in TQ's Hunting mastery. Or both.
Cause only a true Gunslinger can master the art of Ricocheting

A gunslinger class would be just perfect. Just for style - please add something like precognition, hypnotise and dual guns (anybody who doesn't know what I'm talking about - I'm just thinking about Roland Deschain ).

But he was the Last Gunslinger...how can there be any more?

Very similar to the Vanquisher(ranged with guns) class in Torchlight. They have exploding shots, Ricochet, Multiple Shots. It wouldn't be bad thing to incorporate these ideas.

Like Katarina in Dungeon Siege 3 as well. She uses the same kind of guns (musket matchlocks and such) and she's pretty much a gunslinger with magic. Ricoheting bullets between enemies, rapid fire ability that turns her rifle into a machine gun briefly, etc.
