GUNNER

A gunner is who uses a firearm as their main weapon of choice to combat demons in MegaTen. Their main attribute is Speed which increases their firearm damage.
Advantages of Gunners
Pin-pointer - Able to pinpoint a single enemy which is useful for luring/kiting or eliminating the most troublesome enemies as soon as possible without luring the enemies around the main target
Long Range - Have the highest range out of all the classes. Does Not Apply to Rapids
Difficult to hit - With Counter, Dodge and Rapid , a skilled gunner can re-actively stay out of harm's way against many enemies and prepare for a Shot attack.
High DPS - Rapid is one of the highest DPS, only second to Attack Melee, this is countered by their near point-blank range.
Variety - Different play-styles depending on expertise used.
[edit]Disadvantages of Gunners
Cast Time - Gunners start off with slow attacks with either long cool-downs or cast times, length decreases later on. This is the downside to a gunner's defensive aspects.
Ammunition - Gunners must have stocks of ammunition in their inventory at all times.
Fragile - Gunners usually have little to no Vitality, thus most have low HP. This becomes a problem mostly around demon mobs.
Weak Modifiers - Magic Bullet and Shot Type Gunners have some of the weakest damager modifiers in the game
Near Point-Blank Range as rapid - Rapids, though possessing high DPS Ability must close to almost point blank range before firing.

Variations build for Gunner
Gunners deal damage primarily through the Speed attribute
Additional Points on MB Gunners:
MB gunners additionally require high Magic, as MB is calculated with 100% Lng-R + 50% Spell Stats.
Sometimes MB Gunners go Speed/Luck, though this build is comparatively rare and only really useful for MB/SS/Regal
Additional Pointers on Rapid Gunners:
Rapid Gunners Utilize Speed and Luck due to magic not modifying their damage, luck allows for more critical hits and higher damage potential to the rapid.
Additional Pointers on Pure Shot and Shot/SS Gunners
These Gunners also use a Speed/Luck build
Intelligence is relatively useless for most gunners, same with Vitality. Strength is especially useless.

Anyways - here we go:

1st Part: MagicBullet-Gunners
These mainly focus on dealing damage while standing far away from enemies and mainly focus on one hit-damage

Expertise: Shot Class9, Curse Magic Class2, Demonology Class2, Gun Knowledge Class8, Magic Control Class1
ChainExpertise: MagicBullet Class6.2, SharpShooter Class6
Used EXP-Points/lvl needed for this build: 22.000 -> lvl 50
PROs and CONs:
+ You will be able to deal insane amounts of damage to one enemy (or if you use gears like leader/palais-set + DVA/Omen-Parts to many enemies due to low CD)
+ Relatively low lvl needed so this build already works at level 60-70 (you need that lvl for maxing speed at least)
- nothing interesting, experimenting in this build (for some ppl a problem^^)

+ easy way to lower your HP fast with retaliation toggle from class1
+ very exciting to run a dungeon at ultra-low hp and to make sure that nothing(!!) hits you since you are death if it does^^
- you need and i mean NEED to be law that this build works properly
- you are very vulnerable when you hit highest since you have to be at around 10-20HP what is onehit by most enemies

Additional information:
- You have to use full vishnu-tarot-set so this build works (13*5 INT = 65 INT from tarot + hres (5INT) = 70 INT (-> with your 70 INT base = 140INT)
- You will want to use brown salon-slacks and/or top to support your hexes so they land more often
- You maybe should be law for this build since vishnu-ss (top) and vishnu-tarots gives you nice boosts if you are law
