Should an eventual gunslinger use somersault kick?
I've made my potential gunslinger already, but I've got a few questions going into this. First and foremost I would like to say I'm a perfectionist with builds, and like to have my skills allocated properly so that nothing is wasted for my later levels.
That said, I must say despite wanting to be the ranged component of this pirate class, somersault kick seems incredibly useful at all stages of the game. A higher than normal attack damage attack that hits multiple enemies at melee range seems really useful. I've played a bowman in the past and the most annoying thing is when the enemies swarm me and I cant get at range well.
Knowing this, is it worth it to invest into somersault kick and use it throughout my levels as a saving grace if I am swarmed? I've figured out I can max Bullet Time, Doubleshot, and dash and have a few points left. I'm even starting to debate maxing somersault over bullet time, just for when im out of ammo, and to increase my melee range damage. (wouldnt somersault make grinding far easier?)
Thanks for any responses ;] Keep in mind that I said I like perfection builds lol. I'm curious if eventual skills like flamethrower will make somersault useless, unless of coarse you cant use flamethrower at melee range, kind of like how you cant use arrow bomb at melee.

Spoiler!
most places say
20 double shot
10 dash
20 bullet time
the rest goes into kick
It's either somersault kick or flash fist but its not useful at all on my level 62 slinger... though it was useful before I got Blank shot and the knockback for monsters was 1.
gunslingers never get flash fist... thats a knuckle only skill.
summersault kick however doesnt require a specific weapon, which is why alot of people got snowboards or fish spears and went crazy in the early levels on summersault kick.
dash to me is more important to max then summersault kick then it is for brawlers, because brawlers have higher hp, and dash can get a gunslinger out of sticky situations. I still plan to max dash on my brawler though, either with barrel/half booster, or full booster. barrel doesnt look too useful.

Be a full Str Gunslinger and max both Fist and Kick for lulz.
you can use FF with a gun. I think...if i remember correctly

GL.
Sorry for double-post, but yes, you can use FF with a gun. Except it would be totally useless as you have Double Fire.
Well I think you should probably have 11 summersalt kick, it is your only close range skill that gunslingers have. Otherwise, max out double fire, then dash, then bullet time.
Why I prefer Summersalt kick than flash fist:
It is a mob skill, not just 1 mob, so you can push 5 monsters back.
It is also worth it, mellee shouldn't be powerful.
