Raid/PvE Peacemaker Gunslinger : Gunslinger Build Guide

Build Details & Information

Hello! I am Brother Chris and I have been playing Lost Ark since its western release in February 2022. This is meant to be an introductory guide to quickly get you up to speed for a raid/pve Peacemaker Gunslinger so you can quickly pretend like you're straight out of a cod game and roleplaying as John Wick.

Class Introduction

---

Peacemaker Gunslinger is one of the few classes in Lost Ark that gets to run around shooting actual guns. Despite what you might think it comes with being less ranged than you may imagine with it's pistol skills being fairly close range and it's shotgun kit being entirely cqb. Rifle skills are the only truly long ranged skills, so if you're looking for a primarily rifle based playstyle consider the other class engraving Time to Hunt for Gunslinger.

Pros Flexible skills Fast paced gameplay Consistent damage

Cons Many animation locks Low defense, squishy

Rotation

---

Peacemaker has a very fluid rotation and the core of it involves you popping your Spiral Tracker or Dexterous Shot crit debuff Weakness Exposure and also Quick Step to activate the Life Absorption

Your awakening is pretty much used to trigger the Nightmare set effect and then if you need super armor or a little burst damage.
The main "combo" you will be performing will be something like this.

1. Spiral Tracker
2. Quick Step
3. Focused Shot
4. Target Down
5. Perfect Shot
6. Catastrophe

or

1. Spiral Tracker
2. Quick Step
3. Sharpshooter
4. Dual Buckshot
5. Bullet Rain

Again this isn't set in stone and you can mix and match skills depending on the situation, just make sure you're getting your skills off in your buff windows from Spiral Tracker and Quick Step.

Engravings

---

My Peacemaker Gunslinger runs the engravings I have listed here, level 1 Peacemaker and level 2 Adrenaline. This is a cheaper alternative to level 3 Peacemaker while still being competitive damage wise, if not identical performance. You are free to go Peacemaker 3 and drop Adrenaline if you prefer.

Engraving priority would be something like Peacemaker > Grudge > Keen Blunt Weapon > Hit Master > Cursed Doll > Adrenaline

Stats

---

Stats are simple, primarily crit focused with the rest being spec, you can go spec+swift if you'd like but I go full secondary spec for harder hitting abilities.

Crit: 1300
Specialization: 850

Is what I have on my Peacemaker Gunslinger, this is with relic accessories and a bracelet and all potions unlocked from horizontal content.

Relic Set

---

For Peacemaker Gunslinger you have two realistic options, I opt for the Nightmare set because I like the slower more high damage based playstyle. You can also go for Salvation if you prefer the extra speed.

Skills

---

The only real skill alternatives is dropping Bullet Rain for Shotgun Rapid Fire though I would suggest it as you lose a good damage and mobility skill

Runes

---

As far as rune options, feel free to drop a few of the Galewind (Rare)'s if you prefer more utility options like a bleed rune on something like AT02 Grenade or getting rid of C+J for quick recharge. You have plenty of options to slot in for what you prefer.

Card Sets

---

Peacemaker Gunslinger doesn't really need the extra critical from Lostwind Cliff but if you don't have Light of Salvation 18 awakening feel free to use it instead. Light of Salvation is the goat for GS
