The Wild Hunter Compendium

I did 1 Triple Shot, Max Jaguar. I killed everything my level in 1 or 2 shots. After I maxed Triple Shot, I still killed everything my level in 1 or 2 shots. I don't see the issue here.

This. It took me about two hours to hit 30 with my build, and then I never used Triple Shot again.

I understand that damage = exp at lower (and pretty much all) levels, but I think it's a bit ridiculous that you guys are debating the intricate details of min-maxing a first job character. I'll add in an alternate build for TS first.

Soul Arrow ASAP. I cannot fathom why you pushed it back so far- I hate carrying around arrows.

I really only used that explosive arrow for 2nd job training. Not sure what the name translated to. Everything else was just there to keep me entertained.

You'll notice that there is 2 Soul Arrow at level 37. 60 seconds is plenty; I went nearly 30 levels on my Sniper with 60-second SA and it was only a minor inconvienence.

I found that Swallow actually provides some very nice buffs, so I maxed it after Mastery and Ricochet. It doesn't work on all monsters in GMS (Singapore, NLC), but at the ones that it does, it gives some nice bonuses. I'm working on SA right now to go on and get it out of the way, then I'll max Final Attack.
