Class Guide
Gunslinger Guide
Complete Gunslinger guide covering the Peacemaker build, including the Eye of the Tigress and Echoes of the Banquet setups.
Identity
Weapon Wheel
The Weapon Wheel allows you to switch between the three stances, each stance having its own defining trait that changes your playstyle. Handgun skills are mostly utility and mobility, while Shotgun and Rifle skills are mostly damage skills for mid and long range. On the wheel, the tiny grayed-out squares represent abilities that are not available, while the colored ones indicate an ability that is ready to cast.
Synergy
Crit Rate Increase
Increases crit rate by 10%. Applied through first-row tripods on Spiral Tracker, Dexterous Shot, and AT02 Grenade — run at least two of the three as synergy skills, or AT02 Grenade at level 10 as a solo synergy.

Priorities
- This is NOT a strict rotation — Gunslinger works on a skill priority system, weaving Synergy -> Damage -> Synergy.
- Prioritize your T skill, Focused Shot, Sharpshooter, Dual Buckshot, and Target Down as the situation allows.
- Weave pistol skills in between DPS skills to maintain synergy, bleed, and Life Absorption uptime.
- Run at least two of Spiral Tracker, Dexterous Shot, and AT02 Grenade as synergy skills, or AT02 Grenade at level 10 as a solo synergy.
- Pre-stack Adrenaline before entering the raid with filler pistol skills.
- Always enter the raid having cast 2 pistol skills to activate Destiny.
- Make sure to swap weapons and back to maintain the Peacemaker buff if dodging — all damage should be done under the Peacemaker buff.

- Your crit and spec stats are subject to change depending on gearing — aim to have 95%+ crit after synergy (10), Pacifist (15), and Adrenaline (14-20). Adjust crit stat as necessary, then put the remainder into spec.
- If you find yourself having lower uptime on DPS, go Unlimited Magick 1 and Zealous Smite 1.
