According to the Sherlock Holmes stories In the Sherlock Holmes stories, Dr. Watson quite illegally carries an army revolver from his Army time because he feels an Lost Ark Gold emotional attachment to being able to shoot people. The artillerist is similar in that, instead of Army you seem to have been part of a sort Steampunk Air Navy, and instead of a revolver, it's been decided to carry a ship's cannon when you enter civilian life.
I understand the reason. This is more than just the cannon. By pressing a hotkey your weapon can transform into a gun called a gatling an howitzer, a flamethrower, rocket launcher or rocket launcher that shoots a missile made of Ice. My most favorite attack puts a laser target on the ground . It then creates the surrounding area gradually expands until a straight up nuclear bomb is exploded with a miniature mushroom cloud and a glowing field ground that is constantly causing injury to anyone in the vicinity. There are very few who are. I'm sure Lost Ark's wizards have an effective treatment for cancer.
Although that it's an MMO, Lost Ark doesn't really care about the boring dual roles of tank, healer, and DPS. The only classes that are considered support in the current version are the bard and the paladin and both of them are easily specced for damage-dealing. As an artillerist I'm the strongest and most mobile among the numerous advanced classes in the gunner class, which is in essence, a tank who is also an 'in-range' DPS specialist. This, if you think about it is the way tanks are in reality.
In a raid , it's my job to build a turret with a handy defense-stripping debuff (you're very welcome) after which I'll throw up an Energy Shield to protect myself (the shield can explode too in the event that you've chosen the same theme, you must adhere to it). The shield is there because a lot of Lost Ark Gold for sale my attacks aren't as fast as they should be and I'm most likely taking hits while I set up my turrets.
