- Renewal - Rebellion PVM

  • Small brief
 Rebellion is the 2nd class of the Gunslinger branch. The class, in a nutshell, it's pretty much a "Rambo" since there isn't really any great survival at all aside if you want to just be a ranged tank and that's only if you've access to the upper headgear Yellow Ribbon/Yellow Bandana, in the server where you play, that let's you achieve 95% ranged reduction.
Their HP is horrible when compared to any other 3rd class, their gears aren't that amazing when compared to the others from the others 3rd classes and all the offensive skills that they've are sort of junk aside one or another along some debuffs that look awesome in theory but are just ok in practice but it's still a fun and relaxed class to play.
  • What you should aim 
This is aimed to PVM, not PVP or WoE, because, while their damage isn't super bad at PVP and they've actually some pretty cool skills to use at WoE that don't really need a guide at all, they're not really that good when compared to some other classes that look like made for it. Saying this, what we're going to focus will be ASPD and DPS and that's what you should aim for.

Please note that we've tried a couple of builds before this, re-tested some of the known past ones and even checked some gunslinger builds from Pre-Renewal and end seeing that this was the best way to go for the PVM side even if some others are ok and maybe even more fun for some other players like the 100 CRIT one with just gears.

Note -
If you see that this worked fine at PVP with some adaptations, feel free to share your thoughts about it, we like to read about everybody's experience and discuss about builds it's always nice and we may even post yours in the website with credit given!
  • Build Advice
Now that we known what to aim for, ASPD and DPS, let's see the options for our build!
    • Seeing that we want an ASPD build with lots of DPS, our main stats will focus on AGI, DEX and, lastly, LUK. We want to end with 100+ AGI/DEX to be able to achieve, at least, 190 ASPD with the common Renewal items - +20 and +10 STAT FOOD, ASPD Potion and Celermine Juice with just accessories being focused on ASPD - on and some LUK, like 30-50 max, for more damage and some FLEE. Yes, FLEE, since we're playing with high values of AGI, why not make use of them? Our HP isn't that awesome anyway, at least it helps a bit.
    • Don't forget that we still have some leftover points after this so anyone can make their character unique. Just remember what each one affects in terms of final result since this is a Renewal class and going to the max AGI or/and DEX value sometimes isn't really worth most of the time.
    • SKILLS... we actually don't need much. We get the obvious Crimson Marker and Rich's Coin. The obvious Quick Draw Shot and maybe add Eternal Chain for some diversity and the rest is up to each one. Not bad actually, we may end seeing some quite unique builds around!
    • Now that we've cleaned the STATS and SKILLS, what about gears? We know that our char is pretty much a "Rambo" so why not make one like that? Let's see our options.
      • Revolver
      • Handguns, pistols, revolvers, all those words are used to describe the weapon's type that we will use that makes this build amazing. We will use them due to the high ASPD that they give to our char when compared to the others available and due to the following buffs and because the new class arrived with 2 cool ones, Heaven's Feather & Hell's Fire and Altea & Ares, that give our char a new boost in terms of DPS since the previous ones had a max of 80 ATK compared to 150 and 200 of the new ones. Damn, this looks good!
        • Should I remember you that we still have Desperado and Rapid Shower? Well, screw them! They were amazing in the past but we're ignoring that for now, most of the time, unless we want some ground control since we've a better way to go - BUFFS and ASPD!
        • Due to Quick Draw Show being added to our new class upgrade, we've now a reason to go ASPD and to just CTRL+Click at mobs! The increase is just amazing, our DPS doubles most of the time, when it activates, and it goes even higher sometimes! Because it also gets a boost with Crimson Marker, it's awesome to use both as a combo! This, together with the Madness Canceler or Heat Barrel Skill, gives our char a decent occasional boost even if we can already be awesome without any of them due to being "easy" to achieve 190+ ASPD and having already an ok DPS.
        • Fallen Angel may end being a nice mobility skill to control the place and Fire Dance the new Desperado, don't forget that!
        • Gears are open to what you want and see good to use, you've that freedom with this type of char from damage to reduction or even going for more FLEE, it's all up to you!
      • Gatling Gun
        • Rambo wouldn't be Rambo without a machine gun but since there isn't one around, we got this similar device.
        • I must advice you that this build is pretty much the same as the revolver one but you add the Eternal Chain Skill to the list as some Gatling exclusive skills such as Round Trip or Fire Rain.
        • You also get access to amazing new weapons such as Tempest[1] that has 250 ATK and 20% extra ranged bonus damage!
        • You also have some freedom on gears as the revolver one but, due to the nature of a bit lower ASPD of Gatling Guns when compared to Revolvers, you may want to invest a bit on ASPD/AGI gears or even a bit more on that STAT!
    • As you can see, it's pretty much an upgraded CTRL+Click ASPD SNIPER but with cool DMG and look! Don't underestimate them, their damage is amazing high in terms of Damage per second as soon as you test them in the field with high ASPD!
  • Some other useful advice
    • Learn to attack from far away and control the field around you, you've an amazing DPS with amazing range, make good use of it!
    • Look for new ways to improve your damage without loosing ASPD! It may look like 1 ASPD is nothing but it means a lot, specially if it lets you attack 1 more time a second!
    • Endows are amazing, use them!
  • Funny Facts
    • 95% ranged reduction is possible on a Rebellion with Flavius BG Set [10%]+Horn Card[35%]+Noxious Card[10%]+2 Alligator Cards[10%, 5% each]+Yellow Ribbon or Bandanna[10%]+Adjustment Skill[20% for 30 seconds] from the Gunslinger Branch.
    • 100 crit can be also achieved here with something basic as 2 Sheriff Badges, Lever Action Rifle and 2 Drosera Cards and nothing more.
