this is my current formation
a pirate instead of one monk in leveling
but i'm now a spearM
going to change to Cannon or Gun
so which one is better?
seems gunner can do a higher dmg with the skill
but cannon can snipe a bit and work better in leveling

Cannon main!

1. deep insight is nice in pve as free health check.
2. deva shell is nice in pvp as a debuff.
3. you can directly target ranged mercs instead of shooting the frontline. in short, you might hurt a midline ranged merc harder than a gunM would (normal attacks ofc, not taking into account scorch bullets).

um..
is that mean i should learn deep insight and deva shell?
and when should i use deva shell in pvp? how nice is it?
cause i don't see cannonM using this skill too much in pvp
it's maybe only 1~2 times per match

[Locksley]

deep insight is for pve purposes. more pvp orientated cannon mains use chaos wind+deva shell instead.

cannonM can work like a musician (instead of RM, use deva shell), but hits harder and can cover up to 5 mercs. besides, you have 2 guns to lay stun pressure, should be okay to let the cannon use skill as long as your AP management is good and you dun overstretch yourself and find ur guns stuck with 90+AP and opponent on combo2.

thx~cannonM rocks!
it's easy to win SMF if the level are similar, almost 90%
but DMF is just 50:50
well, there's one more thing i want to ask
is the ring in pvp useless?
i'm wearing a 80main & a 100+vit
if it does, i'll just neglect it and keep these
if not, wt should i wear?

[Locksley]

ring still a bit handy. I still wear the lvl 80 main rings. if you find yourself attacking more often, wear 2 dex rings for your main instead

[Jokaa]

how about the others?

[Locksley]

You could consider vit rings. but most mercs either have the respective rings to increase their attack, or vit rings. the exo could sometimes be the exception and get int rings.
