Notes Notes: This guide was written before the Pirate's release, so expect it to be a little fuzzy. I'll be adding additional information after the release and some additional sections to this build. Contact: axeboy006@hotmail.com =============================================================================== =============================================================================== I. Introduction On the night of November 11th, the pirate class will be released for GMS. Here's a little build guide I made for those who need a slight push towards the right direction. I will be focusing on the Gunslinger instead of the Brawler because of personal preference. This build will be including some, but not complete, Pirate data. I will be slowly updating after the release. The Gunslinger can be compared to the Assassin, the thief's second job or the Crossbowman, one of the archer's second jobs. If you prefer killing mobs from up-close, this isn’t the build for you; I suggest you find a Brawler guide. Kyrin, the pirate's job instructor, is the one you need to look for at level 10 in order to become a pirate. The pirate's hometown is called "Nautilis" and is located between Henesys and Ellinia. Before I start, you need to know that the “Gunslinger” is weak at first compared to the "Brawler", but catches up later on most of the classes. Pros - Fast attack speed - Great mobility with Dash, Float and Backstep Shot - Large variety of useful skills - Relatively cheap pirate equipment - Able to freeze and stun - Very high damage in 4th job Cons - Low damage in 1st-3rd job... - Low HP (slightly higher than Archer/Thieves) - No party skills, unwanted at bosses - Bullets are level restricted. Upgrading only gives a small boost. - Bullets run out quickly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. AP Distribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pirate Stat Build On the dice roll, during the creation of your character, retry until you get: STR: *Any* DEX: *Any* INT: 4-5 LUK: 4-5 From level 10 to level 15 Add 1 STR per level and add the rest in DEX From level 16 to level 30 Add 4 DEX and 1 STR for every next level. Without any equips: At level 10 you should have: 51-52 DEX 10 STR At level 15 you should have: 71-72 DEX 15 STR At level 30 you should have: 131-132 DEX 30 STR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- III. Skill Builds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Gunslinger 1st Pirate Skill Build Level 10 +1 Double Shot Level 11 +3 Double Shot (4) Level 12 +3 Double Shot (7) Level 13 +3 Double Shot (10) Level 14 +3 Double Shot (13) Level 15 +3 Double Shot (16) Level 16 +3 Double Shot (19) Level 17 +1 Double Shot (Max); +2 Dash Level 18 +3 Dash (5) Level 19 +3 Dash (8) Level 20 +2 Dash (Max); +1 Bullet Time Level 21 +3 Bullet Time (4) Level 22 +3 Bullet Time (7) Level 23 +3 Bullet Time (10) Level 24 +3 Bullet Time (13) Level 25 +3 Bullet Time (16) Level 26 +3 Bullet Time (19) Level 27 +1 Bullet Time (Max); +2 Somersault Kick Level 28 +3 Somersault Kick (5) Level 29 +3 Somersault Kick (8) Level 30 +3 Somersault Kick (11) Summary Level 20 Double Shot(Max) MP -7; Damage 80% x 2 Hits, attack range 350 An obvious choice if you want to be a Gunslinger. Level 10 Dash (Max) MP -5; Increases speed and jump for 20 seconds This skill is like Haste minus the jump bonus, but instead of being passive, you need to double press an arrow to activate it. Level 20 Bullet Time (Max) Accuracy and avoidability +20. (Passive) This skill is the equivalent of Focus, the archer's skill. Another must if you want to be able to hit the monsters and have less misses. Level 11 Somersault Kick MP -11; Damage 154%, attack up to 5 monsters. We had the choice between Flash Fist, Straight and Somersault Kick, we chose the latter. Why? It allows you to attack multiple enemies instead of focusing on a single one. You can slightly change this build if you want to max Bullet Time before Dash, to have more accuracy and avoidability at the beggining. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Gunslinger 2nd Pirate Skill Build Level 10 +1 Double Shot (1) Level 11 +3 Double Shot (4) Level 12 +3 Double Shot (7) Level 13 +3 Double Shot (10) Level 14 +3 Double Shot (13) Level 15 +3 Double Shot (16) Level 16 +3 Double Shot (19) Level 17 +1 Double Shot (Max); +2 Somersault Kick (2) Level 18 +3 Somersault Kick (5) Level 19 +3 Somersault Kick (8) Level 20 +3 Somersault Kick (11) Level 21 +3 Somersault Kick (14) Level 22 +2 Somersault Kick (16); +1 Dash (1) Level 23 +3 Dash (4) Level 24 +3 Dash (7) Level 25 +3 Dash (Max) Level 26 +3 Bullet Time (3) Level 27 +3 Bullet Time (6) Level 28 +3 Bullet Time (9) Level 29 +3 Bullet Time (12) Level 30 +3 Bullet Time (15) Summary Level 20 Double Shot (Max) MP -7; Damage 80% x 2 Hits, attack range 350 An obvious choice if you want to be a Gunslinger. Level 16 Somersault Kick (16) -14 MP, Damage 174%, Attack up to 6 enemies. We stopped leveling Somersault kick at level 16 because it's the cap level for attacking up to 6 enemies. Level 10 Dash (Max) MP -5; Increases speed and jump for 20 seconds This skill is like Haste minus the jump bonus, but instead of being passive, you need to double press an arrow to activate it. Level 15 Bullet Time (Max) Accuracy +15, Avoidability +15. (Passive) 15 accuracy is enough to be hitting monsters with high avoidability like the Jr. Necki, so we can stop at level 15. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. Training Spots ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 1 to Level 8 The easiest way to level up is to do the quests on Maple Island. You've got the list in-game, press Q, click on Available, look for Maple Island quests and do them all. They also provide you with tons of HP and MP potions, so you don't have to worry about that. Level 9 to Level 10 You grind or you do quests that require more grinding. You can now get out of Maple Island, and head to Henesys' Hunting Grounds and grind some snails. A couple of levels to go! Level 10 to Level 15 You've got a real choice, now. You can continue to grind or do some Party Quests at Henesys. If you choose to grind, I suggest you go kill slimes in Ellinia's Slime Trees or simply stay at Henesys' Hunting Grounds. Level 15 to Level 21 Green Mushrooms are killable and recommended. You can do quests too. Level 21 to Level 30 One word. Kerning PQ. Head there, get yourself a good party, and gain easy, fast levels. You can also go kill Horned Mushrooms in Ellinia At the end of your 20's, you can start killing Zombie Mushrooms in the Ant Tunnel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V.
