Ragnarok: The New World – MG Gunslinger Comprehensive Guide

Gatling Gun Gunslinger Build Guide

This build is designed for a Gatling Gun Gunslinger that uses basic attacks as its primary form of damage. The author considers Gatling Gun beginner-friendly and believes it has the highest DPS scaling among the DPS classes available at the time of writing.

The author also states that, with the same investment, this build should deal at least 1.5x the DPS of an optimized Sniper build.

The build is not limited to single-target damage. Auto Grenade Launcher provides decent AoE damage and, according to the author, can deal single-target damage that is better than or equal to the basic attack.

This guide focuses on the second advance job. The author recommends playing Hunter until Lv. 70 because Gatling Gun’s damage scaling is not good during the early game.

Stats

1. AGI: Target 193 ASPD when fully buffed. For maximum damage, test different stat allocations yourself.
   • The author’s current raw ASPD is 185.5 with Priest and food buffs only.
   • With Priest, food, and ASPD potions, the author’s raw ASPD is 183 while reaching maximum ASPD.
2. LUK: Target 77 or 74 raw Crit.
   • Sushi: +10 Crit
   • Gloria: +10 Crit
   • Luck Tonic: +3 Crit
   • Supreme Luck Tonic: +6 Crit
3. DEX: Put the remaining points into DEX.

The author prefers not to overspend stat points on LUK solely to reach 100% Crit. A close to 1:1 ratio between LUK and DEX is recommended.

Different builds can produce different DPS depending on stat allocation, so test your own damage when adjusting the build.

2. Cold Rogue’s Set: Provides the highest DPS before both accessories reach +15.
3. Morrigaine’s Set: Recommended if you are short on ASPD and Crit Rate.
4. 2x Exorcising Rings: Best when dealing with Undead and Demon races and the best DPS accessory setup for FM.

PvE and PvP Rune Recommendations

For PvP, the recommended runes are:

#1, #2, #3, #5, and #6

For PvE, the recommended runes are:

#1, #2, #3, #4, and #5

The author prefers building Blue 3, Yellow 2, and Brown 2 for both PvE and PvP because it provides more survivability and saves resources for Harmony.

Crimson Marker works as an abnormal status, so Abnormal Damage Boost is always active against enemies affected by Crimson Marker.

Relics

Build DEX relics, starting from the lowest quality because relics are very scarce.

Recommended progression:

All Blue DEX Set > All Purple DEX Set > All Yellow DEX Set > All Red Set

For maximum damage output, reroll for raw ATK and Crit.

Lucky Treasure

1. Blazing Cavern
   • Levels 11 to 12: +50% damage.
   • Each succeeding level: +20% damage multiplier.
2. Auto Grenade Launcher
   • Levels 11 to 12: +0.5% proc chance and +2% Crit.
   • Each succeeding level: +0.2% proc chance and +1% Crit.
3. Gatling Fever
   • Levels 11 to 12: +10 ATK and +1% ASPD.
   • Each succeeding level: +10 ATK every 2 levels and +0.5% every level.

Prioritize Blazing Cavern first. The author recommends aiming for at least the first Lucky Treasure even without obtaining the others.
