====== Gunslinger ======

{{::gunner.png?nolink&600|}}

Gunslinger is a [[weapon]] [[skills|skill tree]] associated with [[handguns]] and [[handcannons]]. The gunslinger has mastery over the usage of one-handed firearms, capable of adapting and dealing with different threats on the fly.

This skill tree provides a number of short ranged offensive abilities that consume ammo, and passive abilities that make the gunslinger a notable contender against highly intelligent mages and other ranged builds.

<sup>Where possible, skill lists will try to emulate the shape and flow of the in-game skill tree to ensure optimal readability, however this will not always be possible due to the shapes or interconnectivity possessed by some trees.</sup>

===== Additional Notes =====

  * Some skills cannot be used by a handcannon, as the handcannon can only hold 1 ammo at a time.

  * The use of Quickdraw makes the Gunslinger tree flexible to use with other combat trees. A [[sword]] user could quickly switch to a handgun during their movement phase to change combat styles.
