[edit] Stat Advice

Strength	Strength is not necessary for a gunslinger besides increasing their weight limit to carry more bullets with them.
Agility	Gunslingers specialty is their high attack speed so this is required since they don't deal very high damage. Gunslingers have very low HP so they also require a high flee rate. This is the second most important stat behind Dexterity.
Vitality	Gunslingers are fragile with very low hp and defense. Some Vitality may be necessary depending on what build you're aiming for.
Intelligence	Intelligence is great if you are aiming to spam skills such as Rapid Shower and Desperado instead of relying on ASPD.
Dexterity	Gunslingers require Dexterity in every build. Dexterity increases gunslinger's damage.
Luck	Luck is not required but can help if you have a DEX/AGI build and want to deal critical hits on the way.

Go with mostly dexterity and agility. Gunslingers are basically like snipers, yet they also have the ability to become Rambo. If you want a siege type gunslinger, you should probably do dexterity and vitality, as they are a good combination.

There are two main builds stat wise – dex/agi and dex/vit/int. The first is mainly for normal attacks, relying on passive/buff skills like increase accuracy, gatling fever, and madness canceler to increase aspd (also they are able to use berzerk potions). While they can use the same skills as the vit/int build, it is overall not as effective – you can't desperado and count on your flee to protect you. If you want to be a skill spammer (aka desperado spamming), go for the vit/int build, as the main attack skills for gunslinger (rapid fire/trigger happy shot, full blast, desp) are not affected cool-down wise by agi or ASPD. However, this build has a hard time leveling, and needs a priest to mob effectively (although once a mobbing party is started exp is quite nice).

[edit] Stat Builds

DEX/AGI

High ASPD

• This build is the most common gunslinger build. It is pretty much the same as a Hunter's build.

DEX/INT/VIT

Skill Spamming

• DEX, VIT, and INT are the only stats really required in this build. With high INT you will be able to spam Desperado and Rapid Shower instead of regularly attacking. Since you don't have any flee, Vitality is required to survive.

DEX/AGI/LUK

Critical Spam

• This build is not recommended, because Assassins already do this. Gunslingers can also do this too if you want. It is similar to the DEX/AGI build but you put less DEX and put it into LUK.
