Gunslinger Guide

Introduction

Due to the many attempts at making a Gunslinger guide, and most of them providing incorrect info, I am going to take matters into my own hands and create my own Gunslinger guide. I hope this helps the Gunslingers who have been misleaded by other guides. Also, this is NOT THE BEST guide ever in history. There have been more, supposedly in the Sleepywood forums, BasilMarket, and many other gaming websites. I just hope this guide will be ONE of the best guides.

The Gunslinger

The gunslingers are a gun-carrying class of pirates that have a lot of accuracy and deal stable damage. They shoot different varieties of bullets and are able to attack while jumping. With a bunch of elemental attacks and fast attacks to support them, the gunslinger is a job that stands out amongst other ranged-jobs.

Pros:

  • Incredible attack speed
  • Acquires elemental attacks
  • Wings allows you to get on platforms other people can't get on
  • Ability to summon an Octopus and also Gaviota
  • Acquires Hypnotize, which allows you to make monsters attack other monsters
  • Gets a battleship at 4th job
  • Ability to stun monsters at 2nd job and also burn and freeze at 3rd job
  • Can attack up close

Cons:

  • Gun Booster is useless, seeing as you already attack so fast
  • Really expensive
  • Recoil Shot can back you up against monsters and possibly bosses
  • Low damage (fast attacks make up for the low damage)
  • Grenade is a horrible skill (in MANY people's opinions)
  • Brawlers do more damage than Gunslingers (per attack, but Brawler's attack rate is horrible, so Gunslingers still beat Brawlers)

AP Build

As a Gunslinger, you have 2 choices of AP Builds (that I recommend). DON'T EVER PUT AP INTO INT!

Normal STR Build

For this build, STR will be same as your level and rest into DEX.

Example: A level 31 Gunslinger should have 31 STR and everything else in DEX.

STRless Build

For this build, STR will always be at 4.

Example: A level 31 Gunslinger should have 4 STR and everything else in DEX.

Note: Is it recommended to put anything into LUK? LUK increases your avoidibility and decreases the amount of EXP you lose when you die. Is it recommended for a Gunslinger to put anything in LUK? It depends on your playstyle. If you like to see the monsters miss when they attack you, then go ahead, put AP into LUK. But it is not recommended as it MAY be a waste of AP.

Note: Which is better, STRless or Normal STR? If I were to recommend one, I would recommend Normal STR, seeing as STRless is for players with at least 150,000,000 mesos.

Skills

The Gunslinger is a unique class, with many elemental attacks and fast attack rate to support them. With many interesting skills, this class may be incredibly fun for some players.

Bolded skill in SP build means the skill should now be maxed

End Result

Double Shot - 20/20 (MAXED)

Somersault Kick - 20/20 (MAXED)

Dash - 10/10 (MAXED)

Bullet Time - 11/20

Why not max Bullet Time? Bullet Time is USUALLY put into for the Accuracy, but seeing as Gunslingers has DEX as their primary stat, the extra Accuracy is not needed. But if you were a Brawler, you would max that.

Why max Dash if it pushes you into enemies? Let's see, your attacking from ranged. So if you accidentally initiate Dash, you would move CLOSER to the enemy and not TOUCH the enemy. Use common sense, people.
