Shadow Gunslinger Guide

[Knumb]

this is just my two cents thumbs up if you like it

[Princess Kupo]

Good simple guide but again like all shadow guides, 0 mention of dark mark (333>F).

Dark Mark is a 10 sec. effect after firing True Shot.  I guess it just means fire true shot whenever possible. Hehehe

Yea no. You have to time it right, specially without Magnum badge, or else you'll have 8seconds cooldown on Dark Mark. So, what you want to do is, line up all your buffs (Tab/V/Soul/Dark Mark) with lightspeed for maximum dps. 

 

If you have magnum badge, you can use it off cd, as it only has 4 seconds cooldown (Dark Mark debuff is 14s instead of 10s then). 

 

I didn't really listen to the video as I'm at work, but I can say the following from watching the few rotations:

- Not having dark mark up is a high dps loss.

- Going lightspeed w/o Tab is a dps loss.

-- Don't go Lightspeed with C. After 3 seconds it's a dps-loss. Why? Because our RMB Damage increases with max focus. We won't have max focus after first 3 sec of C)

- Don't reload when you're at 50% focus, as is shown in the video. Dps loss.

 

My starting rotation is the following - I try to time it with 2nd Soul proc:

RB+F until gauge almost full

333FF - now in Lightspeed

V+Tab -> RMB 

 

Or, when you don't want to wait and go "burst" in the beginning:

333F+V+Tab then RMB+F+4 all the time.

 

I prefer the second rotation if you have full buffs, because you don't waste 1 SB/BB and I still get ~270k burst. You can also save tab for 2nd SB/BB and go lightspeed with that (though you need to make sure to have bracelet buff up)

That really great info. I need to save for that badge. Thanks! ? 4 should be specced for dps eventhough it costs dark light?

Yes. It's good to lose dark light stacks. You don't want to reach 100 stacks w/o tab. And bulletstorm really is only higher dps with all buffs, and it's not even a big difference. 

Teste on General Moyun:

Without Bulletstorm I had 224k DPS over 10min 

With Bulletstorm I had 228k DPS over 10min

 

My weapon broke the last few Million HP, but it was 228k before that.

Dark Mark
Triple Shot (3) >> True shot (F)
Skystone (Q) >> Bomb Run (2) [Fight while airborne? lol]
Adds roughly 40-45% damage to Dark Shot for targets with dark mark.
MSP 3 set adds 10% damage to Dark shot
Raven 3 set adds 30% damage to Dark shot
Revelation Mystic Badge sounds good in theory but reads poorly on BNStree.

Twin Barrels
Most classes can double KD or Stun
Only stun has a 30s cooldown. Daze and KD are 18s. KD lasts for 3s, Daze is 2s.

If you need a stun you get one while airborne and the other from Tripshot while using Standoff.

Should retest with macro and weapons that didnt break for both lol.
