Sapper/Wugu Musketeer vs Cannoneer

[ormimail]

I am currently Arch2 Sap2 Wugu2 and can’t decide between cannoneer or musketeer.

People have told me to go cannoneer for more AoE because I am already an AoE focus with broom trap and throw gu pot. However I feel that I might want to go with more single target skills to be more balanced.

In addition, I am concerned with cooldowns. I would prefer to have almost no downtime, but also don’t want to have a bunch of skills on the ready because of how spammy they are. When in the daily mission boss fights, between multishot, stake stockades, broom trap, needle blow, wugong gu, zhendu, and throw gu pot, I already do not have a lot of downtime.

I am currently leaning towards musketeer, but still want more opinions on the matter so I don’t screw up my builds potential and waste 200 hours.

TL;DR Another musketeer vs cannoneer thread, this time for Arch2 Sap2 Wugu2.

im making a similar build

either its gona be identical to yours with canon or
A2 - S2 - Rogue 1 - Falc 1 - Canon C1

but Wugu adds alot of single target with its posions so ive read which are really strong aslong as your the only wug and their not being over written by another wug.

Canon has alot of nice synergy with your build and atm i believe Earth Tower is the main end game dungeon and its pretty much an AOE cluster F**k from the vids ive seen.

i was thinking myself that we know the meta for end game earth tower atm is AOE and that there is apparently ranks 8 , 9 ,10 still to come wich means atleast 6 more classes to be added and if the meta changes to more single target burst then there is options to add that to the build later down the track.

im just trying to make a build myself that is future proof and will be able to adjust to the changing contents later on.

Thats a good point, cannoneer is partially future proof already because it has a crossbow so it can still use bow attacks, allowing for room for another weapon set in case a better one exists in the future.
