Seeing as I got the 4th jb advancement after 4 years of playing. Id like to know annyoing it is to recast se every 20 seconds >_> 60 sec is my minimum management if a buff timer o.o Also theres a heap load of possible builds. Which did you guys max after se or other skills maxed 1st with some se in it? Which is funner for you bossing or training? thoughts welcome.

I'm sure you're supposed to get 1 on sniper, 1 on frostprey, then spread your points into sharpeyes,pierce, or the mastery if you want more damage

I, did that, got 1 DB and 1 MMB and another SE next level, Maxed SE, and Worked on Pierce, then Snipe. However, SE damage doesn't increase as much after you get it to a certain level, (around 15 if I remember right), and I've been hearing of Marksmen maxing Pierce or Snipe early instead. And yes, casting SE every 20 seconds is annoying f3.

I put my first 3 points into... Frostprey Marksman boost Snipe Frostprey for freezing (duh) mmb for the amazing 5% more min damage with just one point, and snipe for killing crog in one hit XD (also my reward for making it to mm,I love it!) Getting to 121 was easy enough and I put 3 points into se then (cuz 10 sec se was not worth it) I'm currently maxing se,then i plan to max snipe,mmb,pierce. I'm doing this build because I want to boss early on (and they say that a level 140 mm with max snipe is as strong as a bm in the 160's) I was never a fan of IA,and I dont think pierce is that great for leveling on Crimson Guardians and Typhons,so I'm just gonna stick with AE. I'm choosing to max mmb first because pierce is worthless without very stable damage. hope this helps MM FTW

well i started with 2 SE and 1 frostprey Then i got 1 DB then rest to max SE After SE is maxed, i decided to max Snipe since it does make me more powerful than BMs my lvl I prefer bossing since you get a lot of exp and gain mesos but i train with a bishop or hser on skeles during 2x events

2 Sharp Eyes is very annoying to recast, but I still do it because it reduces a hit at Newts.

I'd max either snipe or pierce first.

9 SE, 16 MMB, Max Snipe/Pierce is what I've been hearing as the best training build. Bossing would go more along the lines of Max SE, Max Snipe, Max MMB, Max Pierce... That'll drag you up to level 160. Whoa, MMs have a buttload of skills.

I have 3 SE currently and it can get annoying, but it's worth it to see the extra dmg. Here's the way I see MM builds. These are just what I believe in my eyes but not necessarily by others. Party Bossing (not recommended unless you boss for training) 30SE>30snipe>whatever you want NOTE: also works for party training Solo Bossing (not recommended even if you boss for training) 9SE>30snipe>27MMB>30SE>whatever you want Party Training (slightly recommended) 30SE>16MMB>21pierce>27MMB>30pierce>30snipe>whatever you want NOTE: also works for party bossing Solo Training [MMB] (recommended) 9SE>16MMB>21pierce>27MMB>30pierce>30SE>30snipe>whatever you want NOTE: also works for party training Solo Training [SE] (highly recommended) 9SE>16MMB>21pierce>30SE>27MMB/30pierce(depending on what you want more)>30snipe>whatever you want NOTE: also works for party training Solo Training [Pierce] (my version) 9SE>12MMB>21pierce>19SE>21MMB>30pierce>30SE>27MMB>30snipe>whatever you want NOTE: also works for party training Frostprey and DB isn't mentioned here, but it is preferred to have 1 FP at lvl 120 or 121. 1 DB is helpful for training as well.

I have a 13x BM for an SE mule with ToT quests done upto O3. I have to switch between users on windows but I imagined max SE would be noticeably stronger than 9 SE.

^not outrageously stronger. honestly, it's just timer. I'd go with a max pierce/mmb or Snipe build if you don't have to worry about SE

MAX SE is like the same as like 6-10 SE. Get 6-10, then move on to more worthy skills, if you want to do good damage/train fast. EDIT: for the record, theres no "level" where adding points into SE becomes better and worse. same for whole thing. 1-30 isn't much except for timer. only 0-1 is real big. Try get 2-3 SE on first level up, recasting too often is a pain, FP is good here too. Then next level get the other crap
