Gangster build (a work in progress)

Toram is full of surprises; a recent update brought one in particular -- Snipe with a bowgun now has a chance to Armor Break.

Alright, gun fu people, let's have some fun with this?

Spoiler: Gear

Primary Weapon:
Revolver. You'd better be heeled if you're gonna walk Toram, and you want a heater with a +25 crit rate, see, and you don't mind getting up close & personal, so the shortened range to 4m won't bother ya.

Secondary Weapon:
Knuckle Duster. Don't try to muscle in or punch goons in the mug without it.
And don't you go tellin' me "your choice of knuckles makes no difference" here - we're racketeers! We got our pride to think of!

Armor:
Killer Coat, dropped by Boss Roga
Stability, crit rate, and if you're gonna wear a benny, wear the benny you pinched off a Boss.
(Or get one player-statted for +12+12% crit rate +12+12% crit damage. Who's gonna know?)

Additional:
Gothic Hat .... +15 crit rate
Any heavy guy with class knows the importance of a silk hat.
(This is where we could have the "is Gothic Hat actually classical gangster or just dapper" discussion. What's doin?)

Special:
Misanga .... +500 MaxMP, +1 crit rate
Look, if a mokker's gonna wear a hoop, they wear the hoop their main squeeze gave 'em for bustin' up a crew of heavies and takin' their haul. Them Orc Warriors ain't no bazoos.
(If you got yourself a lulu who makes your gear for ya, a Dexterity Talisman III works fine.)

Spoiler: Hooch

Drop some sugar 'n fish on this quality booze, lusher.
Giga Speed Potion .... +750 ASPD
Vita Plus III .... +1000 HP
Revita IV

Get That Mook's Attention
Moeba Shot --> Smoke Dust (save) --> Bullseye (swift) --> War Cry (consec) --> Paralysis Shot (swift)
MP 100, Stability +10%
Fast and flashy. Stand your ground and spam it until you hijack the aggro.

Tell 'Em What For
Smash --> Shell Break (save) --> Impact () --> Bash (swift)
Interrupt. Leaves enough time to execute a raw Heavy Smash if Shell Break activates.

Give 'Em The Works
Holy Fist --> Smoke Dust (save) --> Bullseye (consec) --> Paralysis Shot (consec) --> Impact (consec) --> Snipe (smite) --> Shell Break (consec)
MP 100
Sets up a Heavy Smash.

Put 'Em In A Box
Heavy Smash --> Impact (save) --> Snipe (swift) --> Shell Break (consec)
MP 400

Well, that's my build. (Note: I don't claim any of it's original.) You wanna yam about it?

 

nice build guide but as for armour wouldn't u say having f some dex good? or ccccd is better?

 

too bad they don't have something more like this for the build

Spoiler

although I suppose this would be too "violent" or something, since this isn't like call of duty or whatever

although the revolver isn't too bad either (other than it's somewhat odd compared to real ones)
anyway, looks fun and hope it works out nicely *bump*

 

Right now I use a player-statted armor for crit rate & crit damage. (To be honest, it's partly because this lets me carry only one armor for multiple characters. My AGI brawler uses the same armor.) I imagine crit rate & dex would work great.

Ohhhhhh I wish. This build badly needs a tommy gun app. I would rework the combos to feature Bullseye (Smite) or something.

 

ah alright tyvm ^^. good guide
