Archer or gunner?

After messing around a bit with a couple classes I believe a kitting class is for me. What are some pro and cons between the archer and gunner that may help me make a choice. What does you prefer?

    The main con for both classes is ping, ping slows down Rapid Fire (Archer) and Burst Fire (Gunner) with ping also limiting your window for Burst Fire abuse. If your ping is low, then this won't matter.

    Currently, and for the foreseeable future, Archer is superior in every single way possible. Mobility- Archer wins; Damage- Archer wins; Utility/CC- Archer wins; Staying alive- Archer wins.

    Soloing BAMs is also easier on Archer due to access to multiple stuns and Sequential Fire being a low cool down stagger, and their burst pretty much kills them instantly anyways.

    You would only play Gunner if it ever got buffed to the point it was better, or you just find it more enjoyable.

    in a super rare scenario where your entire team wipes, gunner > archer in terms of pure kiting.

    Otherwise, Archer wins in everything, lol.

    under 80 ping = archer

    higher 80 ms = sorc

    pro skill + 15 ambush = gunner.
