2 battle ship > 20 Burst Fire?

Level 1 Rapid Fire is technically stronger than Burst Fire with SE, but very slightly. I only ever used it at bossing.

its also useful for killing crap like the christmas sox and the frogs, where your damage is restricted to a single number

ya lol i just remmebered having like lvl 2 or 3 Rapid fire and having SE 30 while in a newty pt and it was better or at least seemed better... but like i know people who even still use burst fire over Rapid fire @ liek Zakum when SE is there>.>

I still use Burst Fire when I have SE and SI. I prefer using Burst Fire if it's about the same damage, too.

Burst Fire w/ both = 1050 %dps
1 RF w/ both = 1025 %dps

K so Kms is patching right now, I'll probably get 1 ship, 1 cannon, 1 rapid fire, than at 121 ill get 1 torp, 1 elemental boost, 1 air strike Then 122+ Ill be maxing cannon. Also Do i max ship after I max cannon? seems the most logical thing to do because once i have maxed cannon it'll be my main attack skill.

That's what I did. I endorse this decision.

What does endorse mean? Also I KNOW its probably better to get elemental boost rather than rapid fire at 120, I just want the cool flashy skill first 1 second longer stun can wait a level.

Support.

Yes, Elemental Boost is definitely better than Rapid Fire, but if you want a point in it so badly then go ahead. I personally knew what Rapid Fire would be like having come from a Bowmaster, so it was nothing special to me.

So I know rapid fire lv 1 is weaker than maxed burstfire without SE, but how much of a difference is it? Is the difference actually noticeable when lets say... killing a newtie? or is it more of a DPM thing like when your fighting bosses?

Oh it's very plainly noticeable. Rapid Fire only gets an edge with SE because it fires something like 4 more bullets a second than Burst Fire. Not only that, but Rapid Fire can't be used in midair. Even if you get a point in it for looks, you shouldn't start using it until you can get it at least over level 5.

o.O in that case maybe I should just get torpedo instead of rapid fire? :f6:

i would say yes to like a 1 ship 1 cannon 1 torp @ lvl 120 build then do your rapid boost and AS if you want them,

After you Max cannon i would suggest going and Maxing battleship yes, those extra 36K hp will help you out ALOT at those lower levels making your ship almost last 2 times as long after that is where most builds will vary, u can go either a bossing build with Bullseye then rapid and go back for Torp Later you can go a pure Training build and go Torp then AS/Rapid and go back for bullseye and others later or you can mix it up and go like torp -> 11 or 21 and bullseye at same time and mix up Rapid fire ->11 or 21 also and just have some fun and level everything at once, i personally went cannon-> ship-> bullseye-> Rapidfire -> MW -> Torp -> elementalboost -> airstrike, i did this after seeing how good Corsairs really are @ Zakum and other bosses so i wanted to get bullseye really fast to pwn me some NL's and after seeing how fast cannon killed skeles on its oni made the decision to hold off on torp (which i regret for training speed but ultimattly dont regret cause killing bosses got me a lot of my exp anyways during 140-180)

Ooh nice, I went 1 torp 1 cannon 1 ship, and I think I will follow the bossing build. thanks everyone

the bossing build is generally a good one like you can generally 2hko skeles by 140 anyways (some by 130 if funded well) and you wont have OODLES of use for torp anyways till its maxed but it is useful nonethe less
