I wanna delete my Brawler and make a Slinger, since my Brawler is super boring. Before I do though, I have a quick lil' question; Do Slingers use bullets like mad? I remember my friends constantly complaining how he was running out of bullets :| Also, what do Blaze/Ice Capsules do? I'm assuming it gives your bullets an elemental advantage? Thank you.

I've only run out of bullets once in 104 levels. We almost never run out because each set holds a ton of ammo. As long as you get a few sets, and recharge every time you happen to be in town, you should be good. Blaze Capsules are used for the skill Flamethrower. Every time you use FT, you use up one Blaze capsule. If you run out of Blze capsules, then your damage with FT is cut in half. (Exactly the same with Glaze Capules and IceSpitter)

Just keep your Brawler and make a new account, you can use it as a fame mule. Bullets I've never run out except for the times i only had one or two sets because I was xfering and forgot to put them back. Bullets last a long time, and as you're able to use the higher lvl bullets, they hold mroe stack then the lower levels. You shouldn't run out of bullets for at LEAST an hour or two, as long as you have a decent # of sets (4-8). For Blaze and Glaze Capsules, they're used just like bullets but only when you use the skills Flamethrower and Ice Splitter. Each time you use the skill, it'll lower the capsule by 1, just like a bullet would, BUT you don't need to have the capsules to be able to use the skill. The capsules enable you to do twice as much dmg as you normally would, so get one or two sets once you start using the skills.

If you don't use capsules, do those attacks suck? Do those skills take the capsule ammo even if the capsules aren't first in your inventory? (Like Sins only use the first set of stars in their inv) Isn't there an attack in 4th job that's like Hurricane, but with bullets? Wouldn't that drain your bullets? Or is it rarely used?

Capsules are pretty important if you want to hit good numbers with Ice and Fire. If you just need to freeze, though, it doesn't matter. You almost never use Rapid Fire unless you're bossing, and unless you're bossing for 4 hours straight there's no need to carry that many bullets. I use 2 sets of Shinies and 5 sets of Vitals and they last me longer than my pots (500 Gingers, 150 Barbs, 50 Sorcs)
