Gunslinger Build (Lv. 10-200)

Well Captains can freeze so magic attacks shouldn't be a problem.

But based on your math, Rapid Fire is only about 1.2x stronger than Triple Fire...Maybe I should postpone Rapid Fire in my 4th job build and max Battleship Cannon earlier.

I downloaded this video and looked into Cannon Ball's speed, and got the same speed of 100/minute. That's 3.8*4*5/3, which is 25,333% per second, over twice that of Rapid fire. xD
Cannon first please?

Where did you get that Rapid Fire shoots at 480spm?

You're factoring defense all wrong. Rapid Fire would still do 230% more than Tripe Fire per second. Both skills suffer the exact same damage reduction.

45% is not how often Triple Fire would not get Criticals with Sharp Eyes. 61.4% of the time, they won't get Criticals from maxed Sharp Eyes. In any case, Rapid Fire does more damage than Triple Fire, and it it does even more damage with Sharp Eyes than Triple Fire with Sharp Eyes. Sharp Eyes also does not make a Critical 340%. augh *facepalm*

Defense is deducted per strike in the skill. Eight bullets per second looses more from DEF than 5.

The part with Crits was dealing with a Bowmaster's crits. >

Look at Bribery's videos in the original post, it has a video of Rapid's speed.
