Cookie cutter evolution

[Taikan]

I'm currently using a cookie cutter gunner build

sw/bt/sw
gun/gun/gun
witch/monk/shaman

trying minor adjustments like front line witch or 2nd row healers, using a nice meteor+chaos wind+beast summon combination...but my question is... what mercs do I get now??? I mean, everyone seems to think highly of the exo, but i don't rly know who to replace...
and how should i evolve the gunners? inventor+jani+main? or canoneer? or just high lvl gunner? o.o

Exos usually serve to replace archer as the silencer. It's really up to you whether or not to put them in. Anyways, it seems that you are using a seth/brutal will line so it's hard to decide. Most say higher grade midline is better due to stats, but you will have to level them.

im not a big fan of will/seth... i'd rather pick my own targets at the cost of some power... what i've found to be very useful is to use focused deadly shots to enemy main, and if possible deadly strikes... i have pulled some wins doing that, but i don't know how much longer i can pull this off :P

well this is my build atm

im still debating on either to replace the sword with an exo or just leave it

looks nice... how does it fare on pvp? i might aim for something similar to that

Concentrated fire does work but the further you get into the game, the higher hp and armor stops that from happening too often. Though, since you have 3 guns, your build can be geared towards a stun build.

obviously replace ur swordies w/ lk/spartans, better tanks and better skills
and if ur going stun builds, cannons r better, even if ur going for aoe, cannons r better
only gun that i see thats good is inventor, w/ summon, catapult = another cannon =D

too bad....even 90% of top players in korean dont use any gunner anymore...
damage is medium and seperate, high miss rate,
cannon = stronger stun build+ dot + debuff effect...

the only a few chance for gunner is like seth/brutal will build...sadly

well they serves good purpose for canceling scrolls..

inventor is the best gunner imo,solely from the summon machine,i use cannon myself..

Exo is CRUCIAL for stuns. With exo you basically keep the monk from holy guarding himself or any other mercenaries on their side so you can unleash your AoE at full potential + flameswords/light slash.
I'd hate to face these types of builds typically because they are so annoying to fight against. Stun/AoE and janissary pounding me with 2000k per hit... GAHH!
Only problem for you is if they kill BT, you don't have much of an option to keep her alive.
