Introduktion

The Main focus of this Guide will be about the different early to end-game Gear for Arm Cannon and Triple Laser.

(sadly i m not fond with the melee build hopefully someone writes a guide for it soon)

If you need guidance for lvling you can check out Spike's Guide as Meister and Biolo are very similar to play, exept you have mado gear support skills and don't have a homunculus.

Mid Game/Late Game

Mid/Late Game Lvl 200+

Now that you've reached lvl 200 a lot of Dungeons/Instances will become a lot easier due to an enormous increase in dmg.
And you can start farming for some better Gear.
Your 2 Main goals in mid to late game are to reach instand cast (dex*2 + Int = 530) and getting 65%-70% After Cast delay(ACD for short) to efficiently spam Arm Cannon.
You can also opt for a budget Spark Blaster build. Tt will initially do a bit more dmg than Arm Cannon but can't be spammed and you can't use your elemental advantage of Cannon Balls.

Your Goal is to get (DEX*2 + INT = 530), an ACD of 65%-70% and 185-193 ASPD without any other Buffs, while doing enough DPS for most Content and efficient grinding/farming.
To achieve this you'll need very specific Gear and you need to play around with your Int value a bit. (You can check your cast time with @bs)
