2nd Job Gunslinger Skill Build: Late InvShot

[Renz]

Hello everyone. This is my attempt at a gunslinger build. The difference from others you may have read is that it focusses on the skills that improve your kill efficiency on single monsters rather than mobs. I realize how important invisible shot is though, so no worries; you'll still have a decent 10 points in it at lv 44. I might eventually add a where-to-train guide since using this build would greatly affect where you train from lv 30-45, but I've just returned from my 18 month break and am not up to date with new maps.
So here goes.


lv.30 --> 1 Mastery(1)
lv.31 --> 3 Mastery(4)
lv.32 --> 1 Mastery(5), 2 Booster(2)
lv.33 --> 3 Booster(5)
lv.34 --> 1 Booster(6), 2 Mastery(7)
lv.35 --> 3 Mastery(10)
lv.36 --> 3 Mastery(13)
lv.37 --> 3 Mastery(16)
lv.38 --> 3 Mastery(19)
lv.39 --> 3 Wings(3)
lv40 --> 2 Wings(5), 1 Recoil(1)
lv.41 --> 3 InvShot(3)
lv.42 --> 2 InvShot(5), 1 point saved
lv.43 --> 4 InvShot(9)
lv.44 --> 1 InvShot(10), 2 point saved
lv.45 --> 5 InvShot(15)
lv.46 --> 3 InvShot(18)
lv.47 --> 2 InvShot(20[MAX]), 1 Blank(1)
lv.48 --> 3 Blank(4)
lv.49 --> 3 Blank(7) No save here because stun duration is upgraded.
lv50 --> 3 Blank(10)
lv.51 --> 3 Blank(13)
lv.52 --> 1 Recoil(2), 2 Blank(15) On hold because 85% 3 second stun is fairly good.
lv.53 --> 3 Recoil(5)
lv.54 --> 3 Recoil(8)
lv.55 --> 2 Recoil(10), 1 point saved
lv.56 --> 4 Recoil(14)
lv.57 --> 3 Recoil(17) No save because by now some extra pots shouldn't matter.
lv.58 --> 3 Recoil(20[MAX])
lv.59 --> 3 Blank(18)
lv60 --> 2 Blank(20[MAX]), 1 Booster(7)
lv.61 --> 2 Booster(9), 1 Wings(6)
lv.62 --> 3 Wings(9)
lv.63 --> 1 Wings (10[MAX]), 2 Booster(11)
lv.64 --> 3 Booster(14)
lv.65 --> 3 Booster(17)
lv.66 --> 3 Booster(20[MAX])
lv.67 --> 1 Mastery(20[MAX]), 2 Grenade(2)
lv.68 --> 3 Grenade(5)
lv.69 --> 3 Grenade(8)
lv70 --> 3 Grenade(11)

------------------------
Gun Mastery: 20 (MAX)
Invisible Shot: 20 (MAX)
Gun Booster: 20 (MAX)
Blank Shot: 20 (MAX)
Wings: 10 (MAX)
Recoil Shot: 20 (MAX)
Grenade: 11



Basically, you'll be doing more balanced and faster hits during the first 15 levels at the cost of having limited mob abilities. I've come up with this build because of how alot of people seem to think gunslinger damage is way too low and unbalanced. I believe this should help you train in a faster and more fun way 'till 5x, since from there on this build will be very similiar to any other one.
I'm not sure if this will work out at all, but I WILL try this build myself.


Please, feel free to post any comments, thought, critics, suggestions, anything. ~Renz

I strongly suggest you DON'T go for this build, as Maxing wings out before maxing out anything else is completely wrong and waste of AP.

Better build would be (Late Invisi Shot)

Invisible Shot 3 ->Gun Mastery 15 -> Gun Booster 5 -> Gun Mastery MAX -> Invisible Shot 10 -> Fake Shot 5 -> Invisible Shot MAX -> Wings 10 -> Fake Shot MAX -> MAX Booster or + Grenade

[MisterMangos]

kjSean you are sitll missing 11 sp in that build, which go to grenade

I've put 5 points into wings so I could get 1 recoil shot, which is really useful to get away from mobs (CPQ, for example). I've maxed it after everything else worthwhile was maxed. Except for booster, but I'd rather pay some extra pot money and hit a key a bit more often and get an useful and fun skill in return.

And I don't understand why you would put a few points into blank, then max it out even later than wings. It's practically useless at lv 5.

[sleepyxdude]

Why would you not want to put 1 point in invis shot at 30? 1 Mastery is pretty useless and its much better to get a point into your first real mob skill

[Elwenry]

Inv shot is basically pretty useless as well. Only for the few "OMFG, I CANE MOBZ".
Anyway, I've heard of people who skip grenade completely and put the 11AP on bullet time or some other.

One point of invis shot is pretty alright to take out weak mobs (rascal snowpiece farming for example) but I have yet to find a better use for it. Blank shot would be better for the stun and the ability to shoot point blank, but be warned that the damage isnt accurate.

All gunslingers should max bullet time, unless they have a more worth while skill to invest into other than dash and double shot. Grenade is more worthwhile than the other skill which you would put your ap into (sommersault kick or flash fist) as the damage of those is not affected by the gun equipped. Besides, grenade is fun to play with.

Only for the few "OMFG, I CANE MOBZ".

I dont get it.

[Elwenry]

I didn't think you would.

Booster doesn't work with double fire.

I didn't think you would.
