1) In third job anyway. I wouldn't even use burner to mob in third job after seeing it's damage. Plus i wouldn't have it maxed until 11x or so anyway, so i would be at newties not using it at all.
2) Third job they shine in single target attacking. Fourth job they shine in BOTH areas. They're the only ranged class that excels completely in both mobbing and bossing (single targets). I was wondering...have you read the posts when i was arguing for burner in the gunslinger build thread? It's got all the arguments for burner over torpedo. No, i never ended up proving that it's stronger but i did prove it comes VERY close to it on neutral targets. I'll find the thread after i post this.
Edit: http://www.southperry.net/forums/showthr...12&page=27 Funny enough, i sent you a PM you never answered back. O_o
3) Can i really argue against this? I can argue that you won't take as much damage as you're saying though, because they're still frozen half the time.
Also, have you planned your fourth job build yet? If so, what is it? Just wondering. :f6:
I just read the PM. sorry, I was moving cross-country when you sent it and must have missed it at some point. I see what you mean about the mobility but I don't think you understand how much damage you take alternating between cooling effect and fire burner.. you'll end up getting hit so much that you lose the entire point behind mobility in the first place. I'm assuming that torpedo is a stronger skill as well, as it hasn't been proven otherwise, so personally I think giving up the mobility for more damage done to the monsters and less done to you is worth it.
if you don't believe me about the damage you'll take alternating between cooling effect and fire burner, I'll take a video later. you literally get hit every time you use fire burner.
as for my fourth job build.. it's hard to say lol. I'll definitely be getting 1 point into a lot of skills like support octo, air strike, and elemental amp, then maxing cannon, but after that I'm not sure anymore. I know you guys are all against it (with reason), but I'm considering getting some points in battleship and possibly even maxing it. I know it seems like a stupid idea, but the extra HP matters a lot to me since I won't be getting all that high leveled lol. I'll deal with the cooldown. for the most part, I'm just gonna see what I'm able to do with the skill books I'll be getting.
