And thats the guide to be an ultra Survivalist dps gunner!!

 

Your build is very interesting.
I have some kind of Dex-Vit gunner build too. ^^

 

I didn't understand why impact and finale are used, since you can save more skill points by using Ad-lib (Reflex is bad, sacrificing 90% defenses you had means reducing 40% of your resistance) and Holy fist. For example, Ad-lib -> Satelite Arrow (smite) -> Holy fist (cons) have the same effect as the combo you have mentioned when used from >2m. Even if by some rare chance you are fighting at close range, holy fist animation is quick enough for you to dodge from most attacks. Also, I didn't like the -water resist and -aggro from Lil empress garb (have bitter experience from that).

My version is to play as a material farmer, in which I could play solo, or serve as a tank on bossing party play. I also could farm mobs such as Ivy or Bubble Angel. I call mine as a treasure hunter. Here is my build for my treasure hunter,

- Demon Empress Garb with Gopherga (and I planned to get Sapphire roga on the second slot) / Adv. garb ACdCdCr with Gopherga + Demonic Quasar
