Cannoneer: stat building

Now with the endless gear grind of always finding the “better piece”, I’ve really started to think about what to get on my armor. There are really 2 builds I can run/focus on: DEX or SPR

DEX
I have Qs3 in my build so the [running shot] + [bazooka] is there. The pro is it is CHEAP since neither [running shot] nor [bazooka] cost SP per AA. The damage is not insignificant too. That could change when the new [running shot] hits itos.

SPR
The skills cost A LOT of SP. +200 SP per 5sec from just 1 skill is a quick drain similar to that of a zealot on lightning and those go full SPR.

Right now I’m running statless (waiting on the new [running shot] to commit to stats) with STR DEX leather for hit n block pen.

[cannon shot] 283 x 1.3 (chain explosion) / 5sec = 73.58
[cannon barrage] 314 x 1.1 (weight reduction) / 33sec = 10.47
[sweeping cannon] 436 / 40sec = 10.9

94.95
x 20 = 1899 SP/s = 949.5 SPR
x 9 = 854.55 SP/s = 427.28 SPR

(I will check how much the battle bird gives in SP regen)

This assumes I don’t even use [bazooka] for 63 x 3 (veteran mercenary) = 189 SP on use

SPR + STR/DEX seems to be a lot cheaper so… maybe? Yeah?

correct me if i’m wrong!
TL,DR: increase SPR until you have 845 sp recovery and get a squire mule
OR Lv15 Condensed SP Potion is enough for sp issue

I used to be a Cannoneer too.
I also considered Cann’s sp problem. So, I make a quick calculation:
in 40s (Sweeping Cannon’s cd), you have to spend
436sp
283 * 1.3 * 8 sp (cannon shot x8 and its attribute)
= 3379 sp
which mean 84.5 sp per second.

So, if you even have a mule squire, you have to have 845 sp recovery on your F1 screen to solve the sp issues
Compare this number with a Lv15 Condensed SP Potion, which give you 61.2 sp per second, so it reduce the number in your F1 screen to 233

With stage 10 cm on the way it might not be an issue. I suppose I can just join a party organized enough for the 1sec SP regen buff combo.
