    so i'm making a bowgun/arrow alchemist and need some opinions about a few skills.

    Bullseye - as the only pierce skill available, it should have good use against bosses, but i don't see it at the moment. since the char is still low level with many extra points from emblems, Sunrise Arrow simply overpowers everything.
    although in my previous attempts of hunter builds, Sunrise's damage against bosses was pitiful. so how does Bullseye fare at higher levels?

    Fatal Shot - also 2mp. would cost 5sp more to max, but it's affordable if it's good.
    what exactly does this bring to the table that would make me use it instead of another 2mp skill?

    Use cf/satellite. Why are you trying to exploit low tier skills? ^_^

    Unfortunately, the damage output of Bullseye is simply too low, especially when compared to higher tier skills. Fatal Shot works best for newbies who cannot afford 100 crit set ups, and Sunrise works as cheap AOE. Damage-wise, I'll pick CF & Sattelite over those three.

    because i'm not lv200+ and not going to be this year
    also, i don't like skipping. since you have to get to those high levels somehow...
    what about the extension of parts break time?
    i won't have any break skills on this build, would it still be useful?
    otherwise i'm probably taking Bullseye as niche skill, since it costs less sp.

    The extension can come in handy but I don't recommend it. After all, the boss can move really annoying preventing you from breaking the parts. It does extend breaking, but not the status ailment(flinch, tumble, stun). If it's a newbie, they could always assume the boss will never move as long as the parts are exposed, but with Fatal Shot, the parts will remain exposed but can move which could be deadly for them.

    Personally, I only take Fatal Shot on my ailment focus build, a bow character that max all skills with ailments except Power Shot because the SP use was already huge to begin with. It's an option in other builds, but be careful on the animation ending lag. It's quite slow.

    At least, settle with arrow rain till you have enough sp and level for cf.

    Also, I'm a bit surprised you haven't capped yet. ^_^

    i won't take Arrow Rain because it's too similar to Sunrise Arrow.
    and i have Crossfire.
    i once was lv175, but i always deleted everything.

    i'll take neither of them and focus on sunrise for now. need points for alchemy.

    looks like Bullseye is more useful to non-arrow builds.
    likewise, Fatal Shot may work best combined with knuckles or shield.

    damage-wise Bullseye is just a faster Power Shot if the enemy doesn't have high def.

    Arrow Rain is not much stronger than Sunrise Arrow.

    i thought buff skills are supplementary to weapon skills, but for bowguns it's the reverse.

    fatal shot is useful for bosses tht moves a lot while the breaking part is visible, i have this on my hunter build n it works pretty decent considering most of the tyme u'l get all part gets broken easily. bull's eye actually deal decent dmg roughly around 15-20k in total depending on protrate/elment against/boss def stat-related. i dealt around 30k dmg on patissia the other day as in combo opener for snipe (as replacement for dagger spike dart) since situation doesnt allow me playing bg dagger due to toxics ppl so i go to bow cf lel. as for sunrise arrow well they're pretty gud on farming n clearing maze situation but as for boss fight i dont see much of a use here(dps wise). not when its basically like a weak version of cf wthout charging. but its a gud combo opener tho._.b
