Gunslinger Build (Lv. 10-200)

Oh lord, Gobies would be a nightmare. I would just ignore the houses <_< Make my way up to 77, and head in for Squid2 Solos if possible. I just see more practicle applications of an earlier Octopus than Cooling Effect. Gobies may very well be more trouble than they're worth at that point... On the otherhand, you could Goby party by the time you have 25 Cooling Effect. But you could also very well go snipe Jr. Newties provided you can find a channel <_< Now there is an application for Octopus.

Hmm, I suppose Octopus before Cooling Effect would be a good idea, but it really depends on training spots. I

I love spoilers. <3

 First Job Build

Continuing off of a point made in a thread off of Sleepywood, (sorry, lost the link Dx) Somersault Kick out damage Double Fire all the time. Plus it's a mob skill. Depending on the cost of Bullets, it could be a great asset to unfunded Gunslingers in early levels. Obviously the range of Double Fire makes it a better skill in the long term, with mastery, distance, and it's speed, but going SK first could be similar to how many Archers use Spears or Axes until 15-20 to avoid arrows. :/

190% to six monsters in an 80% range will beat out 120% to one monster in a 350% range in 1st job most of the time.

This alternate build should allow much cheaper training and much faster training because SK is a mob skill, and mobs are a huge part of training in 1st job. Even on single target monsters, it out damages a Double Fire. D: This build leaves Quick Motion at 10, enough to supply a nice boost of 10 avoid. I start Dash, but get it to 5 because that's when it hits 20 Speed. In 1st job, you don't need much more than that. :/ (Stacks with speed pills)

If Gunslingers get bandwagoned for the first week, month, whatever like I think they'll be (not as bad as Infighters), avoiding bullets for the first 25 levels would be a huge money saver. (Unless you can get them via shops, but still, unless you're funded/a merchant hoar, you'll go broke trying to use bullets from 10). On top of that SC works off of damage range, so get the highest range you can, regardless of weapon, and you're fine. :o

That could work too, except that Somersault Kick is really slow in comparison to Double Fire (which is 160% at max level). It might be faster to Double Fire the mob down instead of Somersault Kick, especially since the range is rather small. Plus, the level 10 bullets can be purchased from an NPC and those last until level 30.

 Second Job

Throwing Bomb could be very useful for sniping a mob. In Deep Ludi, you could stand far away from a mob. Normal attacks wouldn't have the range, you'd need an AoE, like Arrow Rain, or a move like Bomb that can arch across. :/ It'd be nice to know how it's range corresponds to the time spent charging it.

Since it's a mob skill, it would loose practical uses in 4th job as mobs started to become lightly densed maps of massive HP. (Temple of Time?)

Just my thoughts. :/

It doesn't seem very useful to me since the range is quite difficult to control. Plus, Invisible Shot is a lot faster and it's also a mob attack. Sure, you can't snipe with it but regular training seems more practical to me than sniping high level mobs. Either way, I max it in 3rd job thanks to JoeTang's suggestion

A good way to max Throwing Bomb in second job is to leave booster at 11 and max Throwing Bomb if you don't mind the lower timer.

 Third Job Build

As for your 3d job Build, it might be better to keep Cooling Effect at 21, where it freezes for 3 seconds, as the extra damage won't help, and at that level, mobs will become rare.

Gobies could be very find experience. Fake Shot to stun the house, Triple Fire to kill it (snipingftw), Cooling Effect to kill the mob. Depending on when they can do this fast, getting Cooling Effect to 25, six monsters, could be good. :o

The thing with 3rd job is, none of the skills besides Triple Fire are useful. Octopus is nice but it remains stationary and doesn't do much damage. Gaviota does a lot of damage but it has a 5 second cooldown so it can't be spammed. Homing isn't useful at all. It's only maxed because it's a requirement for Advanced Homing.

I'm considering Octopus before Cooling Effect since it could be more practical, I guess. It'd be nice to have more information about training spots ;x
