[1.2.384] A Cannon Shooter is born

You're joking, right? Considering the fact that they have only two mobility skills (Rocket Boost and Gigantic Backstep, both with long cooldowns) they're going to be slow as hell considering he's a pirate. They don't have FJ, haste, or anything to speed them up. Hell, their rush-like skill doesn't even move them, and their rocket only allows them to move upwards. Also, I don't see any huge 1-person attacks, so bossing potential seems low compared to other classes. They can only attack left and right and really only benefit when there's a mob of enemies that aren't too far away.

See from 0:58 to 1:00 and a again at 1:05

You can see the Gigantic backstep cannon works exactly as Gunslinger's back shot, they also got their drill bullet cannon skill which seems like a good mob skill, and you can also see the rocket jump skill can be used to move slightly diagonally.

I wouldn't rush it and call this class anything yet. It might seem they should be very slow but by the info got from their skills it seems their mobility will be on the same level of buccaneers and corsairs or even better since they got a backshot.
