Original General Dungeon Fighter Thread

I'm on my quest advancing to launcher, what would be the best thing to do to skills? Like what should I get, or more importantly, what shouldn't I get?

Edit: Also it gave me heavy armor mastery, but didn't remove my leather armor mastery, do I wear heavy armor now? Or are there still benefits for wearing leather?

Edit: And it is possible to edit a skill command? Like the command for jack spike is "Z", for Rising Shot it's "Right+Z", can you edit it to "UP+S" and "Down+S"?

Bomb is a very nice PvP move, but I tend to ignore it in dungeons due to it only being usable with a HC (I use a bowgun in dungeons for better lockdown on enemy movement/attacks). To give an idea how strong it is when charged (0.3 seconds to fully charge it), it was doing up to 4k on a fully charged hit, and 2.5k minimum in PvP. And has a pretty nice blast radius. And causes knockdown. And is pretty fast.
Flamethrower is a great PvE move, and is extremely useful in team PvP. It covers a wide area, can limit enemy movement/skill use, hit several times per target, and helps teammates set up some pretty nasty combos. 2 gunners alternating flamethrower is VICIOUS.
Gatling is, ofc, good.
BBQ is more of a boss/PvP move. It's strong, but very situational in PvP, as you really don't want an enemy that close to you. It's really fast, though, and can pretty much replace Jack Spike on your keyboard. I really don't know if I'm going to pump points into it or not.
Jack Spike is needed at lv 5.
1 point of Windmill should be fine.
I did 1 into Silver Bullets for a bit of extra damage here and there, it's a good pre-bossroom buff.
Aerial Fire is extremely useful for
[INDENT]With a Bowgun, ability to pretty much float in the air raining "bullets" on a boss, especially useful against Ghoulguish to dodge his Ice Aura. At lv 22 (I believe 4 points into the buff) you gain an extra shot with a HC (3 extra shots total). This is where I plan to leave it.[/INDENT]
[INDENT]With a HC, the ability to launch yourself clear across a map with the extra shots[/INDENT]
1 point of Rising Shot doesn't hurt, but some people don't like it. I find it useful with a bowgun for keeping an enemy in the air.
I didn't put any points in Mach Kick, mostly because I already used my hotkey slots for the most part and generally try NOT to be close to an enemy in PvP to use it.
I didn't put any points in the robot thing, simply because I have more damaging skills that I can use.
I didn't put anything into grenade, simply because I don't really see myself using it much. It requires a bit of setup, and I have flamethrower/bomb for medium range attacks that are much stronger/more helpful.
Heavy weapon mastery is a must, it grants a bit of helpful bonuses, and, iirc, a free skill level to heavy-weapon skills.
Anything pretty much not available at advancement I can't help with.

Bolded skills get an extra skill point in them (either from heavy weapon mastery or by default when advancing, I can't remember)[/color]

 Armor

[color="#cc8899"]
Wearing more pieces of one type of armor gives greater bonuses for said armor type. Recommended to either go full Leather or full Heavy. Heavy gives strength bonuses, Leather gives Attack Speed bonuses. Attacking speed does not matter for Heavy Weapons. Leather is more recommended for PvE, Heavy for PvP. It's pretty reasonable to have a full swap-set, though it will weigh you down a bit without an expanded storage. Heavy gives more defense, as well, but is, well, heavier - it will limit your inventory weight more.[/color]
