Best Lost Ark Gunslinger Build: Endgame Stats, Gear, Skills, Engravings, Runes & Tips

Below is an overview of the Lost Ark Gunslinger build for the endgame by Yoda of Soda, with combat stats, skills, bonus class, engravings, runes, and more tips. 

Lost Ark Gunslinger Combat Stats

The first thing we are going to talk about is the stat when going over your character build for Gunslinger, you want to split your stats between Crit and Swiftness. Specialization can make your abilities do more damage, but here you’ll want Swiftness over Specialization because of the insanely long animation locks that you have to put yourself into to get your big skills off, Swiftness will reduce the length of those animations and allow you to chain your mobility skills faster, which is in most cases your only means of survival. Swiftness builds can maintain more consistent DPS. So when allocating your points try to slot in 75% of your stats into Crit and 25% into Swiftness. 

- Crit: 1800

- Specialization: 0

- Domination:0

- Swiftness: 600

- Endurance: 0

- Expertise: 0

Lost Ark Gunslinger Best Engravings 

1. Class Bonus Engraving

Each class is allowed to have two exclusive engravings as the class bonus, you will want to use Peacemaker, which will improve your Handgun attack speed, Shotgun Crit rate, and your Rifle skill damage, but do not use Time to Hunt losing access to your shotgun skills, means more downtime on skills in general, which is a huge loss in DPS especially because they do so much damage, it's also a huge loss in AOE mob clear, for Chaos Dungeons, you lose access to most of your stagger damage and one of your interrupts. The best part is that you only need one level of Peacemaker since the later levels don't give a whole lot, so it's a really easy thing to incorporate into your build. 

The number of engravings you can equip is determined by your engraving slots and points, make sure to max out your engraving points into 35, and then you can pick three generic engravings in addition to your class bonus.

2. Best Engravings for Your Gunslinger Build

For your engravings on your legendary accessories, you are gonna want level 3 Grudge, Keen Blunt Weapon, and Cursed Doll, level 2 Hit Master as well as your level 1 Peacemaker. When you start getting relic accessories, you will be able to max out Hit Master and add two levels of Adrenaline to your spec. You are already a super squishy class and this is an even squishier build, you basically get hit with one thing and you're already dead, so make sure that you actually do damage if you're just gonna die in one hit. If you are trying to put this build together as you are progressing through the game and you are not at 1370 yet, do not use Grudge if you can’t get it to level 3.

Level 3 Grudge

Level 3 Keen Blunt Weapon

Level 3 Cursed Doll

Level 3 Hit Master

Level 2 Adrenaline

Level 1 Peacemaker

Lost Ark Gunslinger Best Skills  

When you get to level 50, you’ll have a minimum of 250 skill points, which enables you to improve your skill levels and unlock tripods. Take a look at what skills you should use and max out. As you get more skill points, you should get Weakness Exposure in your Dexterous Shot and Dexterous Shot upgrade that allows you to pierce through bosses, and upgrade your shotgun skills because they do powerful damage, especially Dual Buckshot and Shotgun Rapid Fire eventually when you get to level 60 and have max skill points, this is what your abilities should look like. For gems, prioritize your Rifle and Shotgun skills as well as Equilibrium and obviously slot them with damaged gems, which will leave you with 5 slots for movement skills that you'll want cooldown gems. 

1. Rifle skills

- Perfect Shot: with Stable Stance, Precision Shot and Enhanced Shot tripods

- Focused Shot: with Quick Aim, Double Tap, and Final Strike tripods

- Target Down: with Quick Aim, Large Magazine, and Steady Aim tripods

- Spiral Flame: for Chaos Dungeons and Catastrophe for raids and abyssal since it has a built-in paralysis immunity, it has mid stagger as well as weak point level 1.

2. Shotgun skills

- Sharpshooter: the most damage dealing ability out of any of the shotgun skills, we're going to be using Special Bullet, In a Tight Spot, Guardian’s Breath, if you are doing Chaos Dungeons, just swap In a Tight Spot for Omnidirectional Fire.

- Dual Buckshot: with In a Tight Spot

- Last Request: with Quick Prep

- Shotgun Rapid Fire

3. Pistol skills

- Equilibrium: with Weakness Exposure, Enemy Raid, and Vital Point Shot.

- Somersault Shot

- Dexterous Shot

- Quick Step: with Life Absorption

- Peacekeeper 

- Spiral Tracker

- AT02 Grenade

- Meteor Stream

4. Awakening Skills

In addition, for the Awakening skills that will be unlocked at level 50 as well, you should use Eye of Twilight in every single situation except for in Chaos Dungeons where High-Caliber HE Bullet is better for quicker at clear. 

Lost Ark Gunslinger Runes

For runes, you basically want Galewind on all of your Rifle, Shotgun skills except Last Request, which you should slot with an Overwhelm rune, you should also use Rage on your Quick Step for even more movement speed and attack speed, and Bleed or Quick Recharge on your Spiral Tracker or Dexterous Shot.
