General
- The gunner would offer an extremely long range attacker with very little armor. Unlike the ranger, they would have no access to pets or the expertise attribute, but would have a much higher DPS.

Explanation
- The gunner acts as a long range physical spiker, which has not been created yet. By using skills (such as the ones I list below) that enable very high bursts of damage, the elementalist is no longer the only option for spiking targets. A gunner + elementalist team would work as a spiking team for the gunner to spike enemies resistant to elemental damage and the elementalist to spike enemies resistant to physical damage.

Class Role
-Damager/Spiker

Armor Level
-Gunner Armor: 45-65 AP

Energy Level
-Low Energy, 20 Energy, 2 Energy Regen

Range Type
-Ranged: Guns
:: Short Barrel - Low Range, High Damage, Medium Accuracy
:: Long Barrel - High Range, Low Damage, High Accuracy
:: Plated Barrel - Medium Range, Medium Damage, Medium Accuracy, 10% Penetration
:: Heavy Barrell - Medium Range, High Damage, Low Accuracy

Attributes
- Reloading: Primary Attribute. Increases Energy Regeneration by 1 for each four points, and increases maximum energy by five for every eight points. This gives the Gunner a higher energy output to use energy based skills rather than adrenal based ones.
- Sharpshooting: Increases range by one for every four points. Skills related to attacking from far distances become more powerful with this attribute.
- Gunmanship: Increases damage dealt by guns. Skills related to attacking with guns become more powerful with this attribute.
- Maintenance: Increases damage dealt by energy-driven attacks. Skills related to putting status effects on enemies and dealing fire damage increase with this attribute.

*sigh* I don't like giving CCs a bad rating -_- , but I've seen this like 5 times before. I don't mind guns in GW2 at all, but this offers NOTHING new, it's just another Ranger clone with some ele inspired skills and even a mesmer one, srry.

(I however just like giving ccs a rating so I can stop being a frost gate guardian)
let's see:
Practicality: 7 (it is a practical one that could easily be inputted I gotta admit)
creativity: 0 (repeated over and over again with the same response each time)
Design: 1 (it doesn't fit in with the game's design, gw is designed to fit into the 11th century or something, back when they were using short ranged huge cannons and catapults.
