Title: @Gunslingers

What do you think of Thunder-P[2]

20%Aspd,Splash Damage - It sounds great - What do you seasoned Gunners know about this? I think a DS Thunder-P[2] would be an awesome main weapon. Or do Shotgun types have other disadvantages ?

iirc, the main skill for Shotgunners, Fullbuster/Shotgun frenzy has a 3 second aftercast delay?

Even with Kiels that's pretty large. .-.

I suppose if that were implemented you could put two DDs in there for a DPS shotgun build. Since it does splash damage it might help in WoE when defending those tight corridors, you'd be able to AoE flinchlock people from range. Could combine that + mines for a defensive gunslinger setup. Although it really doesn't seem that viable... most gunslingers tend to stick to their Pistols and Rifles for DPS damage, and switch to the shotgun to use Shotgun Frenzy kind of like a finishing move to OHKO their opponent.

You can't use a shotgun as your main weapon, it limits you far too much.

Weapon Type: Shotgun (In general)

Pros:	Cons:
Inflicts splash damage Full Buster(shotgun skill) really hurts lvl 2 shotgun has second highest base attack(210) only a tad lower than Grenade Launcher class(220) almost zero penalty for NPC'd weapon. The highest penalty is -5 HIT rate more slots than grenade launcher class	-Has highest BTBA among other gun type weapons(3 BTBA) = lowest attack speed(just like rifle) -long after-cast delay makes it worse -limited carding due to lack of extra slots -dropped from high level monsters

in aegis SF has cast bar, now its IC but now the shot speed  depends via afterdelay cast + aspd,

shotgun can be used to counter sages or wizards, swap from gtb and shotgun at intervals. like a grenadier =0.

shotgun recognizes atk% percent cards, the best shotgun available is the one from pvp battlegrounds.
