Gunslinger Build (Lv. 10-200)

Octopus only attacks one monster at a time, and it seems to attack every second based on the videos. The problem with it is that it doesn't move. It remains stationary in the spot you summon it. It only turns left and right to attack the monsters around it. It's great at places like Newties but I can't imagine it being useful anywhere else (based on GMS training spots). The good thing about it is that it has great range (300). This picture contains Octopus' damage @ level 187. I'm assuming it's maxed.

 Spoiler

Seems great on non-mobby maps, more of which seem to be appearing. Temple of Time would be a great place to have a SO. Newties don't mob, so they're good as well. Most 4th job mobs seem to be getting more and more concentrated, bettering the use of this skill.

I think 16 EA (That's when it hits 2 seconds) before Octopus would be a good idea.

Oh, thought EA's max was 20, not 30.

I was also considering Maple Warrior early on but it seems like getting the other skills are much more important. How about 16 EA and 19 MW before Support Octopus?

20 MW comes from Horntail. Have the smaller servers, Kradia, Mardia, Bellocan, even killed it once yet? Even if they have, who are the odds a Captain will be HornTailing?

We really need more information about the 4th job skill books so we can craft a build based off of the book availability. :/
