I have watched the recent videos of the so called “gunslinger” builds, and they seem very fun. But I cant seem to find a solid guide for the skill points, traits, gear. Could anyone help me with this

They can be somewhat fun, but are badly hindered by a host of problems such as an unintentionally slow autoattack, weak traits, and lack of stealth access. These things, especially the issue with Vital Shot, make the set underperform.

If you still want to do it, I can’t really help you with guides, but can give you the very basic advice – build for power, crit, and initiative extension and use Unload as much as possible.

well i use 25/30/0/0/15 glass cannon for pve and WvWvW, roam about with a few other ppl and let them engage then u start spamming unload on the target.
i assure u they go down very fast, ofc u also go down fast so have shadow refuge and stealth heal(i forgot its name i mostly always use malice most of the time) for 1v1. also use short bow for mobility as stealth is not your defense but evasion.

i also use this in sPvP against random scrubs who are not very good. its nice to go on a killing spree and see 6x top player icons apper at the end of the match.

so yes vital shot is not so good. but if u go power crit crit dmg and focus on unload and use the dual skill trait dmg bonus flanking strikes and pistol traits +20% more dmg below 50% hp then unload blows them away very fast.
yes they can dodge but thats why you use steel after then dodge (use mug) it hits them hard and u can unload (also never stay still and learn to shoot while strafeing while running at full speed (i mouse turn and have A D as strafe well its turn but with mouse turn u strafe and move forward with w and u can shoot while running forward while shooting behind you)
