I suppose I could use some critiques.

I would like to think I'm a good gunner and assault. I have been trying out support more and learning him. But I was wondering if anyone that has played with me notices anything as a gunner or assault that could be improved on.

Its been awhile since we played, but it would probably be helpful for everyone for you to post your endorsements and maybe the skill build.

k, lemme check. That thought occurred to me.

Gunner:
Gold Accuracy
Silver: Rate of Fire
Bronze : Clip Size

Assault...just found out the same
Gold Accuracy
Silver: Rate of Fire
Bronze : Clip Size

1 thing, always use armor somewhere, and always use RoF somewhere. Basically the top 2 endorsements should be armor and RoF (choose the order), and the bronze should be something that fits your playstyle.

i use gold acc
silver RoF
bronze armor for the assault
i don't know why but i just love the accuracy i've tried silver its ok...bronze just i can NOT stand it....

MY assault I run

Gold armor
silver rof
bronze clip size

Like shammas said, You NEED some kind of armor
I used to run accuracy on the assault, and although it is nice..there are just much better options

Clip size is great for taking down gunners/tanks without reloading
and ofc helps killing camped firebases with the glauncher

isn't the rifle better then the launcher for firebases?

No way. The rifle's bullets have a drop off range. The 'nade launcher does the same damage close and far. Take out the firebase for the safey or outside it's range. I mean if you are right on the firebase yea the Rifle is better but you'll usually die before you can take it out.

I run the same build as Scathis/Tikki. I tried many different variations and with the TU I decided to convert back to that build. It's been working great for me.

During the first Uber Jtv Logan and Scathis were comparing their Assault builds. I found Scathis' to work better for me. Logan runs Gold Skill Regen, Silver Armor, Bronze RoF and I was thinking about revisiting that.

p.s. I just realized somewhere I said that Scathis' build was Logan's, but no I was mistaken. Had them mixed up.

yer i was talking about close to mid range

I've played around with a lot of gunner builds before settling on my latest:

RoF / Armor / Clip size

You can get used to and play without accuracy, which I wasn't so convinced about, but it works. Use your mortar for long-range instead of the miniguns, and accuracy becomes less of an issue.

Clip size is SOOOOO good. I tried playing without it for a long time, but when I switched back to having it at bronze, it just felt right.

I also dropped armor out of my build completely for awhile, but again, put it back in and it felt right. Once you get mid to close range, you become a beast with RoF and clip size. The hit box change seems to make accuracy unnecessary if you can get used to it.

ok...i was hoping for more of play-style critiques.

Post a video.

/trollface

i run closest to logan's assault. a skiller-assault. in my opinion, grapple and bomb are worth having every 3 seconds.

but i use gold skill-regen, silver rate of fire, and bronze accuracy. i simply need those last 2 in that order to be a competitive fighter with an assault rifle. otherwise i might as well never even pull that thing out. but with those, i can always rely on killing and double-killing with it.

now that means i dont use armor. what n00b doesnt use armor? well, if i get assassinated i get assassinated. well done for not face-grappling me and being quiet when you approached. but i dont need armor if i can win a gunfight by doing 2x more damage to them than they do me. and thats how much i need RoF and accuracy. firing faster and bullets landing on an enemy in effective-damage range means 2x more damage per second.

i have killed deadeye a few times the one game i ran into him in, once with this assault rifle, and twice with a stuck-bomb (gunners are so tall and big targets to stick a bomb to). he went 58-7, but i killed him 5 times and a turret killed him 2 times (and he killed me 5-10 times but he had a team), so my team effectively got uber-streaked against him so i must have done good to kill him that many times. and i killed him as the first kill anyone got that game, and i must say it had to suprise him when he was first blood, so i hope i proved myself lmao. i dont always get to play at prime-time hours, as i work/live at night.

Small note, but based on the reported Endorsement Data, Gold RoF has a minimal effect over Silver. I ran RoF, Armor and Clip Size for a while but actually found that switching Armor and RoF worked out better as the loss in RoF is minimal going from Gold to Silver and the gain in Armor is almost double going from Silver to Gold. I know quite a few players that use the same build of Armor, RoF, Clip Size for their Gunner.

Uh, pretty sure you don't know what the word "critique" means, since we need to be presented with something (in this case, your play-style) in order to critique it. I think you means TIPS. There are some assault guides with TIPS in them.

happy hunting.

Thanks for the data...I didn't realize that gold RoF vs. silver RoF wasn't too different. I definitely think armor gold is good since the double increase is much more impactful. I'll switch my build around and try it out.

now that the wikia data is being circulated, i think it is worth mentioning that, when presented with the data on armor endorsements, one of the developers called the numbers "wildly inaccurate". my 0.02

Well the Devs. said the withheld the exacts on purpose, but the thread Hiero link was all tested by someone so is it correct info.
