Just a quick gunslinger question

[Mystic]

ok, did some calculating. You need 2 full blast of desperado to kill harpies, but that's still very hax. No cast time, small/no aftercast delay and you can 2 shot KO harpies with earth bullets. I think other classes still need a lot of effort to kill a mob of those with earth weapons that can be carded.
I do believe even Snipers will have to shoot a few strings of stone arrow sharp shooting on an Earthen Bow to kill that mob of harpies.

And snipers can transcend, making that whole point about them pointless because gunslingers can't. Comparing extended to regular is just a dumb idea.

Snipers ARE transcendant. Sharp Shooting is a SNIPER skill. GS has higher damage mods in their skills than Snipers, at the cost of less elemental flexibility.

Also, you don't need a Sage to follow you around; Endow skills at level 5 last 30 minutes.
