[1.2.384] A Cannon Shooter is born

Well here's another video of 3rd job skills at spiders if anyone is interested~
[video=youtube;22RZ5f57G7k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22RZ5f57G7k[/video]

I'm going to put this out there:
Anyone think that Cannon Shooter, Dual Blade, and whatever other "side classes" they come up with will become a seasonal revolving door of limited-time classes?
This is pure speculation based on the fact that we already know that Dual Blades aren't currently available in KMS as well as the fact that Cannon Shooters are taking their slot on the creation screen.

Never heard of another MMO doing such a thing with limited classes anyway.
Kinda curious what the strategy would be.

@Sonic - Keep those videos coming! They're much appreciated. I prefer watching a class in action over just reading skill tables anyway since the former actually gives me a sense of whether or not it's for me.

I kinda love that this class is like Battlemages (in non-GMS) in that they stand to benefit enormously from things like SI.

EDIT: I also love how their party skill can be easily exploited to help in the "statless 140 equipping" scheme. +40 all stats? lulz

Oooh, they look fun!

A few of the cannons look like Portal guns to me. xd

So...they're basically the pirate version of Dual Blades? Guess they'll pump this job out and then work on balancing them along with the other thieves and pirates.

The Cannon Shooter's companion looks like something from GunBound.

How are they the pirate version of Dual Bladers?

I believe he's referring to the fact that they aren't a true addition to the traditional Adventurers (which we haven't had since the first two pirate classes).

Dear god please no -__- i don't have the NX for their fricken expensive premiums :C At least put their skillbooks easily accessible somewhere other than the CS. Stupid Evans in GMS "we'll put books into the game no worries!" *still no ingame books*

-sigh- L> pirate revamp as buccaneers are left in the dust.

120 wAtt from buffs and 40% wAtt as well...
I see super slow tanks.
Also, I really really really like the monkeys.
A lot.

Did I mention that the monkeys were cool?

what buffs is it that give them 120 attack? When i check it adds up to 50, not 120. Lol

Because it is an Adventurer Gaiden class.


Also, going to make one and call it DemonofElru just because of that 4th job skill.

Here 4th Job.

That looks incredibly boring. :X

That one attack reminds me of 10x Kamehameha, though.

NONONO!!!!!!!!! I think this job isn't like mechs are! They look really fun :c

Hate to say it but this class looks dissapointing. Theres literally nothing new there, old ideas in new animations. I don't know why but it feels like they have less skills than other classes, probably just that all skills are so similar.

If this class has adventurer cash shop i might play it.

Well eff it all.

>3.3k defense. More than a Bucc, the real melee pirate. WHY
>8.8k HP. Easily more HP at 120 than a Bucc. Noticed at the level up, the Cannon Shooter gained ~70 HP. Add in max Hyper Monkey Magic and that Cannon Shooter would have ~10k HP. At level 13x. Ranged class with true melee-level HP. WHY
>Let's not forget the mini Flash Jump and Rocket Jump. WHY
>Intrepid Slash style cannon attack. WHY
>Magnetic Anchor doing a rusher's job without needing to spam rush attacks. WHY



Why did I pick a Bucc again? ._.

Definitely this.

Oh, sh'it. I didn't even notice the HP and defense. What the flying f'uck.

They had better give Vipers at the minimum 3k more HP.

Im never going to be able to get over how damn baller having a cannon would be.

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.
