Gunner/Ranger Skill Tree Help

[AnimeBoy33]

So I was thinking of going with this build for DPS

but I was wondering if going with Attack PP restorate would be good for a DPS build
(Attack PP restorate build i I did take it)

You dont need so much ability. GU/RA has absurdly high ability already. to add more would be a waste of SP.

I'd max out chain finish on the GU side, not put more points into R Atk.

Similarly on RA side I'd probably not worry about the extra R Def and R atk or the extra ability and instead opt to either hold my SP or if you use rifles a lot (which I doubt you do as a GU) put them into standing snipe. Like This

Admittedly the extra R Atk would help your damage a little, but unless you're buying skill trees like crazy it's better to wait for expansions to the skill tree.

Definitely max chain finish though. it boosts the damage you do when you end the combo by 35%. seeing as you can get a 400% damage mod at the end and the boost would be 35% of 400% in that case (augmenting it to 540%) you really wanna take that skill if you're going to be using chain trigger....which you want to do.

This is my skill tree.

Don't mind the trap search on Ranger, you can ignore it, I got it for fun since runs through Nab TA traps were beginning to annoy me. You should still have some spare sp points, that you should probably keep should they decide to expand our skill tree again.

first thing wrong with that tree is chain finished isnt maxed and I would advise to go towards pp regen here's my tree http://ryuhiroshi.funpic.de/pso2/ski...b00000ib00000f

Then... if i want to build it full DPS, this isn't right?

Your trees are quite opposite xD

[Seravi Edalborez]

Static bonuses are terrible and should only be taken if you need the raw stats to equip certain weapons or units.

I would call this a skeleton build, with only the "must haves".

For Ranger, Standing Snipe has some situational use or you can just save the points.
Gunner: Zero Range Advance and Chain Finish are worth consideration. Even if you don't care for the right side of the tree, 1 point in Chain Trigger is advised (more points in CT is just lower cooldown timer).

Having a Just Reversal on one of the trees would also be helpful but currently Gunner has a beneficial glitch where you get to use JR anyways if it's main or sub (I guess?).

If you want to know -what- something on the tree does, consult http://cirnopedia.frostsabre.com/ and check the Class section.

No that's completely wrong. R atk is pretty well useless past what it takes to equip the better TMGs

Between your Mag and your SP if you have 600 R atk you're good to go. Everything else should be damage multipliers.

Thanks for the help! I've redone following your advice.

Which is better? zero range 2 or chain finisher?

Im also wondering about this since im going GU/RA, what would be a pure dps build? Chain finisher or range 2? Plus should I go for standing snipe in the ranger tree? Wondering if that counts when using TM since most PAs and even normal attacks do move you forward.

Chain Finisher does not increase DPS much. It increases damage, but does not really increase DPS.

I find Zero Range Advance amazing, but you may not be so close to the enemies as I am.
R-ATK Up is never a waste.
