Nope you don't use Backstep Shot for fighting, only for moving around the map, since in 2nd job all you do is kill mobs. And float works with backstep, but it sucks.

Float --> Wait till youre on a proper height in the air --> backstep.
Backstep --> Float wouldn't work since you have to use Float from the ground.

Since you're really slow in float therefore your backstep range will suck.

Gaviota is the strongest 1 hit summon, but in terms of dpm octopus is by far superior. And what counts in 3rd job is the dpm, not 1 hit damage.

Ahh I see. Thanks for the answer. Also, since the max number of Octopi you can summon is 2 in 3rd job, I am confused with Support. It says you can summon another octupus but I've seen the summon with Octopi with another Octopi on it like this: Does support let you summon 3 Octopi or let you have 2 Octopi with one on top.

It stuns and hits twice. Nuff said

and Barrel sucks

Well it does sound useful when you put it that way. Maybe I need to watch more Infighter videos.

Guess I won't go for Barrel then.

It's an amazing 1v1 attack that should be maxed (if i'm remembering the build right) after screw punch, mastery, and imHP. o.o


Backstep is for moving around, not for damage. If you hit a monster, great. That's maybe a few less hits you need to kill it. Float works with backstep, but it isn't that practical. I never use float. :/

Octo >>>>>>>>>>>> gaviota.

I see. I hope it is good as it sounds

Well according to the % I though you could use it as an attack but I guess its for moving around since people said it. And float seems very interesting. It could save you from falling off ladders because of those darn snails.
