About this class
Gunslingers walk this world as notorious outlaws, charming hunters or broken loners, wondering through deserts on horseback. But no matter what you face you take, you always have an iron strapped to your side. Gunslingers are risk takers born for stressful situations where others may break. They may not be the fastest or the strongest, but their resolve and luck are nothing to scoff at. Laying the battlefield with projectiles One after another. And when the air goes silent and the ringing in your ears stops, don’t expect them to lay off the trigger.
