Third tier
Rebel
Rebel is the primary advancement option for Gunslingers. As with the Gunslinger before them, the Rebel's kit focuses around rapidly switching between Revolvers, Rifles, and Shotguns to deliver a wide range of status effects, using them to maximize their damage potential. There are two primary ways that the Rebel advances this play style.
First, the Rebel gains two new skills for each of their core weapon types. These skills follow a familiar pattern to their original Gunslinger Skills: Revolver skills inflict Slow and benefit from striking Bleeding and Vulnerable targets, and so on. However, unlike their old Gunslinger skills, they gain additional effects if they strike enemies suffering from their own Status Effect. For example, the Revolver skill Disengage inflicts Slow, and deals additional damage to Vulnerable enemies, but if the enemy struck is already Slowed, it instead inflicts Internal Bleeding. This gives the Rebel the ability to pare down their skill rotations, focusing on one or two weapon types rather than relying on all three, but still rewarding them for going all out on the weapon swapping.
Secondly, the Rebel gains access to a new gun type to add to their arsenal: the Gatling Gun.
These unique weapons take a dedicated slot in the character's equipment window, where one might expect Shadow Weapons to be in vanilla RO, and so do not need to be included in the weapon-swapping frenzy that Gunslingers have already spent a hundred levels perfecting. Instead, they remain constantly equipped, giving their bonuses no matter what weapon the user has equipped, and only coming out to shine when their specific skills are called on.
On top of this, Gatling Guns operate with a new kind of Mastery unique to them and their Night Watch cousins. While most weapon types require a specific passive skill be learned to represent mastery over its use, Gatling Gun Masteries check how many skill points have been invested in any Gatling Gun related skill. This means that while Rebels can make efficient use of Gatling Guns by splashing their skills in amongst other weapon types, those who choose to invest heavily into their new weapon type will be rewarded with a much greater output than any of their other weapon types can offer, each skill point invested reducing the cooldowns of all Gatling Gun skills the user has access to.
