What are 'Gunners' like in PvE?

I had a few questions about the class because I was thinking of playing it after I finally got to level 65 and saw healing robots and turrets in CS. They are even able to shoot down SS without being in a siege! So I was wondering...
1. If I had +12 Slaughter (Full), Weapon/Glove Rolls: Crit Factor, Power, CD Reduction, Atk Speed, Robe/Boots Rolls: Endurance, Movement Speed, Damage Reduction, MP Regen, Full Crit Bonus Shadowvain/Bloodvain (Also power), crit factor general being around: 200~250... How well will I do when I crit? What would be my average damage? (I can't handle complex math when it comes to these skills, RNG, crit... etc)
2. Is there a time limit on the Healing Bot like it is for the mystic?
3. Is there a time limit on the Turret?
4. How good is the Gunner at dodging when it comes to other players? (Is there a lot of iframes?)

Thanks in advance!

Comments

  • HB lasts up to 30 minutes, after that you have to recall it. So, it lasts longer than mystic thrall of protection, but it's not infinite. (unless they changed that somewhere in the nerf/buff patches.)

    Turret is fine for giving you a little extra damage. It's not really meant to be an OP mini tank.

    Learning how and when to use recall is pretty crucial, but rocket jump can often get you out of harms way as well.
  • Gunner is heavier. Move slower. She got rolling as main iframe and recall. But, sometimes, you need to dodge 2~3 times in a row. Most of dps class have 2 or more iframes. Gunner's are all good except rolling iframe. or recall cooling time is way too long. Sorc and Reaper got much shorter cd 2ndary iframe.

    Gunner = walk slower with limp

    Normally, Gunner is easiest for training new dungeon. Try MM, it's joke for Gunner.
  • Gunners have 2 iframes:

    Rolling Reload with a 5s cooldown and a glyph that gives a chance to eliminate cooldown.

    Command Recall with a 40s cooldown, provided your HB is within 40m, also has the nifty effect of relocating you and pulling you upright.

    Rocket Jump used to grant some status immunity but doesn't any more, however it's a fast way to get out of an AoE, as long as you can get out before the AoE goes off.
  • Gunner is really fun and has high DPS potential. Also quite tanky, 1 standard iframe with OP reset chance glyph, secondary OP iframe that lasts for 3 seconds, OP passive lets you prevent wipes like a fuckin hero, insane mobility/back chasing and you have a gnarly pvp kit with 2 stuns and a long range KD. embarrass ninja's without mercy. regardless of dps, gunner is just fun as hell to play.
  • Have a high dps potential but we cant rly give you numbers..
    one of my favorite gunners hits around 1.5 - 1.8m on SSHM first boss.. Once, i made a party with another gunner, with same gear and she did 300k....
    so make sure to learn your rotation..... (guess thats applies to all classes tho)....

    Indeed, it takes a second to get used to gunner's recommended rotation and until you can execute it proficiently, you'll find yourself putting out subpar DPS as you stand there mashing buttons like an idiot because AB failed to reset two times in a row, BF isnt ready and you cant remember the priority of your fillers
  • They're ok
  • yeah, they're ok.
  • With Gunners there's just so much running. And rolling. And shooting.

    don't use glyph for eliminating cd on rolling, second roll will take you into mid of nowhere, it happens that quick after first roll.

    Othervise. yeah they OK, but as above said.

    Slowest class in game
    To much need to relocate, even if you play 'melee gunner' as many do now.
    Nerf after nerf after nerf and never a slight rework to make that class to new realities.
    Ping dependents of BF (one of main DPS skill)
    Broken chain of skills

    Gunner is really forsaken by BHS

    It's your call, try it out if you wish.
