Doesn’t matter that sniper can one shot you, if you have half a brain and are at least a decent player you won’t be getting hit by snipers or melee attacks so it doesn’t matter. Gunner is insane man, I would like for them to adjust the percentage of healing on passive, it’s too much.
I don’t think many agree with you on that. I know I don’t and I’ve given you my reasons for it.

Nobody said we had to agree on everything, usually people don’t in fact
Always wanted to play with the people that think master horde too easy.
Not just to watch them go down, but maybe learn the secrets to easy master horde hidden from me for all eternity.
I have open lobbies. Low. Come and show.

Some people just need to shut up or plain and simple go away. Always seem to talk the talk. The flow of verbal diarrhea just does not stop in some people.

We played incon on allfather map with my cousin Who has 18th level demo, she covered left side of the map where half of enemies emerged while having gambit and skill card that gives you more grenade. We know this class is devastating in offence but in defence? I think very good too. She planted grenades on critical places but at least two side by side with bleeding none regular enemy survived, scions lost half health and she killed them with boomshot. She handled by herself with one locker BUT ONLY WITH TWO SLOTS until wave 15, later we gave her one full locker. Throughout the game she used just one locker with 3 boomshot, one GL (just for bosses and snipers) and grenades.
In the end she killed 307 grubs … bested me… =(… =)
A lot of interesting responses in this thread.
I guess some people will never be happy.
I still enjoy demo in small doses, especially with the new gambit card.
Part of the exhaustion with the class is because JD had been the meta (and still kind of is) for so long.
Fortunately, there are plenty of different viable ways to play now.
Gunner is a fine class, but he isn’t the one who’s OP. If any are OP I’d have to go with Marksman, still, even after the “nerf.” Complete horde noob here, who barely plays the mode, I was able to run the table on today’s daily. When it came to bosses, I’d just pop the ult and either outright kill, or bring down to low health from safety of the base. The ult with parade is just insane, man, and with the loadout weapons he starts with. Very economical when it comes to power spending. And the class can do it all from safety of the base. Also, it’s slightly broken. A melee hit counts as an explosive critical hit, lol. But really, I’m sick of people asking for nerfs. Over a year in, I wish they’d stop nerfing as a solution to balancing and instead make smart tweaks to bring up the weaker classes.

Since when can Fahz do that?
Pretty sure just about no one ever agrees with anything you say, because you’re typically advocating for balancing changes that’d kill the casual player base.
The changes you want would make about 1% of the Gears community happy. No normal person wants them, I can assure you.
Nerfing Gunner’s passive would more than likely make the class pointless, as the point of it is that the Gunner can stand their ground with a heavy weapon and not go down in 3 shots.
I personally think all of your ideas are awful and will kill the game, but what do I know? I’m not a god tier player like yourself and others who literally make gears their ■■■■■ everytime they play.

What? The explosive melee hit? As long as I can remember. Not sure how much it helps though. Maybe just if you get a few juvies swarming you at once. Most of the time you’ll avoid that though.
Don’t get them started.
Marksmen is balanced. I’d like to see someone pick up the class and immediately be capable of chaining their ult an entire wave. I’ve got about 4 days of playtime in horde and escape with marksmen, and it took about 3 days to really get good with them to the point that I’d clean out entire horde waves on my own.

You cleaned out an entire wave and you think that’s balanced? Come on now. Like I said, I’m not into nerfing, but if we’re gonna call out a class here I just didn’t want it to be the gunner because it’s not warranted compared to some of the others.
I’ve never seen that before, and I play Fahz/Marksman alot.
I once saw the COG Gear get stim by melee-ing a Juvie. I wonder if there’s a way of differentiating where you melee them?
I’ve done that before but not on masters. It happens.

To be fair, sniping accurately takes more of a skill than some other play styles. If someone can chain together multiple headshots in a relatively short space of time then they should be able to reap the reward. That’s why I like Consecutive Shot (Paduk) and Critical Parade (Fahz).

But when you’re at base and they’re behind walls they don’t even know you’re shooting them. So it’s just target practice.
Considering you actually have to be good to clean out a whole wave with Marksmen, unlike another class cough VETERAN cough
Yes. Marksmen is balanced. If you suck, you’re a bad marksmen, and I’ve seen many bad ones, and that’s with very few good ones.

I gotta agree with Pepper. Marksman takes skill. Can’t really call that class OP. Mine is nearly on 20 but I’m a very average sniper. I find it hard to play the class sometimes.
