4th Job Brainstorming
#1
So I've been trying to find some good data for 4th job builds but it's all very scattered, so I thought a centralized topic would be good.
For all of you who are that far / are planning to get that far, what is your -rough- build?

I think that I'll get 11 infusion, along with a point in time leap for parties.
Then.. dragon strike or barrage. I'm not sure. Probably a mix 2 / 1 or 1 / 2
I also wanna try energy orb, but I'm really just not sure yet.

Anyway, post your ideas.

Slingers or brawlers.

So far, I'm imagining a slightly less party oriented build, I refuse to drop 120-123 into simply party skills.

Thinking 2 dragon strike/1 SI, 1 dragon strike/1 SI/1 barrage, 2 dragon strike/1 SI, repeat.

At the moment, what I think of doing is...

120 : Dragon Strike (1), Energy Orb (1), Speed Infusion (1)
12x : Speed Infusion (11)
12x : Dragon Strike (21)
1xx : Energy Orb (30)

Or just make a huge mess of skills like my 3rd job.

As a Corsair, you have many skills that replace others at lvl 1. So I will get those out of the way.

Advance Homing/Bullseye replaces Homing at lvl 1, but I won't need this till I'm near bossing levels. Which for me would be ~130. Bribery's Gunslinger guide has a very well thought out way of distributing these points, so I will follow his guide until I'm level 13x.

120: +1 Elemental Boost (01) +1 Battleship (01) +1 Battleship Torpedo (01)
121: +2 Battleship Cannon (02) +1 Wrath of the Octopi (01)
122: +3 Battleship Cannon (05)
123: +3 Battleship Cannon (08)
124: +3 Battleship Cannon (11)
125: +2 Battleship Cannon (13) +1 Air Strike (01)
126: +3 Battleship Cannon (16)
127: +3 Battleship Cannon (19)
128: +3 Battleship Cannon (22)
129: +3 Battleship Cannon (25)
130: +3 Battleship Cannon (28)
131: +2 Battleship Cannon (30) [MAX] +1 Bullseye (01)

Battleship Cannon 30/30 [MAX]
Elemental Boost 1/30
Wrath of Octopi 1/20
Battleship 1/10
Battleship Torpedo 1/30
Air Strike 1/30
=========================================
This is where most Gunslingers get confused, and do what they want to do.

Next I will start with my Bossing Build. It consists of me adding points into both Rapidfire, and Bullseye.

132: +3 Rapidfire (03)
133: +3 Rapidfire (06)
134: +3 Rapidfire (09)
135: +3 Rapidfire (12)
136: +3 Rapidfire (15)
137: +3 Rapidfire (18)
138: +3 Rapidfire (21)
139: +3 Rapidfire (24)
140: +3 Rapidfire (27)
141: +3 Rapidfire (30) [MAX]

Rapidfire 30/30 [MAX]
Battleship Cannon 30/30 [MAX]
Elemental Boost 1/30
Wrath of Octopi 1/20
Battleship 1/10
Battleship Torpedo 1/30
Air Strike 1/30

By 141, this should be a good level to actually start being help on bosses (Horntail). Your HP will differ, depending on how much you HP washed. I should have enough HP by this level.

Next we start on increasing my damage. Bullseye.

142: +3 Bullseye (04)
143: +3 Bullseye (07)
144: +3 Bullseye (10)
145: +3 Bullseye (13)
146: +3 Bullseye (16)
147: +3 Bullseye (19)
148: +1 Bullseye (20) [MAX] +2 Maple Warrior (02)

Bullseye 20/20 [MAX]
Rapidfire 30/30 [MAX]
Battleship Cannon 30/30 [MAX]
Elemental Boost 1/30
Wrath of Octopi 1/20
Battleship 1/10
Battleship Torpedo 1/30
Air Strike 1/30
Maple Warrior 1/20

Now I will start on Maple Warrior. I prefer getting Maple Warrior before Battleship Torpedo, because I don't see myself using Torpedo as much as I would Maple Warrior.

149: +3 Maple Warrior (05)
150: +3 Maple Warrior (08)
151: +3 Maple Warrior (11)
152: +3 Maple Warrior (14)
153: +3 Maple Warrior (17)
154: +2 Maple Warrior (19) + 1 Battleship Torpedo (02)


Bullseye 20/20 [MAX]
Rapidfire 30/30 [MAX]
Battleship Cannon 30/30 [MAX]
Elemental Boost 1/30
Wrath of Octopi 1/20
Battleship 1/10
Battleship Torpedo 2/30
Air Strike 1/30
Maple Warrior 19/20

Leave Maple Warrior at 19.

Now we start on Battleship Torpedo

155: +3 Battleship Torpedo (05)
156: +3 Battleship Torpedo (08)
157: +3 Battleship Torpedo (11)
158: +3 Battleship Torpedo (14)
159: +3 Battleship Torpedo (17)
160: +3 Battleship Torpedo (20)
161: +3 Battleship Torpedo (23)
162: +3 Battleship Torpedo (26)
163: +3 Battleship Torpedo (29)
164: +1 Battleship Torpedo (30) [MAX] + 2 Air Strike (03)

Bullseye 20/20 [MAX]
Rapidfire 30/30 [MAX]
Battleship Cannon 30/30 [MAX]
Elemental Boost 1/30
Wrath of Octopi 1/20
Battleship 1/10
Battleship Torpedo 30/30 [MAX]
Air Strike 3/30
Maple Warrior 19/20

Next Air Strike.

165: +3 Air Strike (06)
166: +3 Air Strike (09)
167: +3 Air Strike (12)
168: +3 Air Strike (15)
169: +3 Air Strike (18)
170: +3 Air Strike (21)
171: +3 Air Strike (24)
172: +3 Air Strike (27)
173: +3 Air Strike (30)

Bullseye 20/20 [MAX]
Rapidfire 30/30 [MAX]
Battleship Cannon 30/30 [MAX]
Elemental Boost 1/30
Wrath of Octopi 1/20
Battleship 1/10
Battleship Torpedo 30/30 [MAX]
Air Strike 30/30 [MAX]
Maple Warrior 19/20

Now start maxing Wrath of Octopi

174: +3 Wrath of Octopi (04)
175: +3 Wrath of Octopi (07)
176: +3 Wrath of Octopi (10)
177: +3 Wrath of Octopi (13)
178: +3 Wrath of Octopi (16)
179: +3 Wrath of Octopi (19)
180: +1 Wrath of Octopi (20) [MAX] +2 Elemental Boost (03)


Bullseye 20/20 [MAX]
Rapidfire 30/30 [MAX]
Battleship Cannon 30/30 [MAX]
Elemental Boost 3/30
Wrath of Octopi 20/20 [MAX]
Battleship 1/10
Battleship Torpedo 30/30 [MAX]
Air Strike 30/30 [MAX]
Maple Warrior 19/20

Then I do Elemental Boost, Then put 1 Point into Maple Warrior to Max it, then Max Mind control, Then put 9 points into Battleship and Max it, Then put 1 point into Hero's Will and max it, Then I have 1 extra point. o.O


Level 200 will look like this:

Bullseye 20/20 [MAX]
Rapidfire 30/30 [MAX]
Battleship Cannon 30/30 [MAX]
Elemental Boost 30/30 [MAX]
Wrath of Octopi 20/20 [MAX]
Battleship 10/10 [MAX]
Battleship Torpedo 30/30 [MAX]
Air Strike 30/30 [MAX]
Maple Warrior 20/20 [MAX]
Mind Control 20/20 [MAX]
Hero's Will 1/1 [MAX]

Extra Points- 1? wait no 2? Ya I think 2.

Not only is he not a slinger, maxing battleship with spare points is a horrible idea. You might as well throw your bossing ability out the window.

I decided not to do the snatch first build. I still don't use transform at all during training, and having shockwave at lvl 21 is going to make the build not worth it. I got lvl 1 of almost everything cept time leap and snatch. Next lvl im putting 1 in time leap and 2 dragon strike. I'm gonna keep my wind booster at lvl 2 right now and get dragon strike to 21. After that I'm gonna get wind booster to 11. Then i'll do super transform + demo for bossing or maybe get barrage.


Btw- has anyone found dragon strike 20 at spirit vikings? or barrage 20 at blue dragon turtles? I wanted a lil confirmation before I go hunting them.

Hmm... this doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. I might delay Speed Infusion for a bit, after Dragon Strike.

Obviously the only thing that matters to him is being able to take part in a 6x Viper party with 16/20 minutes of Demolition.

@ erich/steve
No one said this thread couldn't be for slingers.

Edit: But anyway, even though I'm level... 32, I'll put in my 2 cents.

I'd probably do something like this..
1 SI, 1 ST, 1 Energy Orb
13 Snatch (4 monsters)
max Orb
max Snatch/ST

Oh yes.

the only map Ive been to where shockwave is more useful than your other skills is lolhackedhimes. Spamming shockwave is fast there, but it wastes way to many pots, its boring Tongue, and it's not anything that can't be just as fast as anywhere else.

i think you should have made a gunslinger instead. They can stay in their second form longer than bucs can, and can dish out more damage.

The fact that he's the author of the new stickied brawler guide which lacks a fourth job section pretty much implied he wants fourth job builds to use. Biggrin

Hehehehehe
actually I'm not just gonna plagiarize em, I'm taking ideas and brainstorming my own build Tongue. I just don't know how the 4th job skills are since I haven't played em so I thought it'd be good to hear the experts opinions.
