Guns, Greatest weapon of all?
As I was watching my 50ish characters take on lvl 100 monsters I began to realise that the characters with guns are much better off then other.
They have their to hit and damage combined into one stat. All you have to do is buff hit and your set. Thus they have the easiest weapon to kill monsters with.
Should I start creating an army of gun slingers? I don't think so, but if I'm going to fashion a weapon of pure pwnage, gun seems the way to go.

Re: Guns, Greatest weapon of all?
First of all, gun range is only in a straight line, which can be pretty disadvantageous at times, unlike bows, which have less range but can hit within a surrouding radius rather than a cross-range. Also, Gun only relies in Hit, and some characters which have both exceptional Hit and ATK can still do better than gun-slingers with bows... As well as that gun skills aren't that great in the utility aspect, the positioning can be quite annoying, apart from perhaps Totenkreuz.
Guns are useful, but not the best in the world.

Re: Guns, Greatest weapon of all?
I'll have to disagree with you there. Yes there radius is a straight line but I don't see that as anymore a disadvantage then any melee weapon. I suppose lack of counter attacks can be annoying and the fact that all special only affect one person. But these are minor cons.
The big problem I have with bows is that they need to draw on two stats. Which makes things more difficult if you are trying to build up item specilists.

Sniper Item Specialist takes care of that problem...
Also, Gun radius doesn't change with height iirc, I recall having a larger range standing at a greater height with a bow.. :3

Re: Guns, Greatest weapon of all?
Honestly, I see mages as the best and easiest to level up, because their AoE is so ridiculous and tera spells are devastating. Sword using Knights are beasts as well. Gun users are ok, but I'd even take my Bow user/Flonne over them. Toten special is great for powerleveling tho.
