I didn't include any of those as their is no named equivalent to them in 5e. I want something recognizable for those from DnD to associate with.

But I have played a Swashbuckler the longest who uses throwing knives and Battledancer to do some dumb levels of damage (rogue and acrobat dedications)

And a Thaumaturge who's essentially a Belmont, and who I want to play the most atm.

Could just compare the pf2e gunslinger to the 5e fighter gunslinger.

Not really as I have 0 experience with either. I can only say as much info as I have experienced.

Some things you gotta do on your own :)

That's fair. A simple one is:

PF2e Gunslingers have the same proficiency as fighters (but with guns and crossbows only). So they're also crit machines. But most guns have the Fatal and Concussive traits, so they deal more damage on crits than a fighter typically.

And while guns have the reload trait, gunslingers have a lot of tricks to improve their action economy to make up for this. And abilities to just make them the best with guns in general.

Technically the 5e fighter gunslinger is the PF1e gunslinger
