No, i do not.

Why?
After reviewing the statistics between FA and other 3rd/4th job skills i realized how useless it really is in the end. For example, it messes up the firing time, and for crossbowmen (and even regular bowmen) that is important. Another instance of this is with Mortal Blow, Just like FA except it only activates when you are near an enemy. The damage is better too (I think, correct me if i'm wrong). My last reasoning is a 4th job Marksman skill, Snipe, increases damage each hit in consecutive successful hits. FA gets in the way of this skill, thus rendering it useless to use the skill. Thus, i am FA-less.

You're mixing up Pierce and Snipe. Snipe does 99,999 damage on one monster with a cooldown.

And it doesn't work with 3rd/4th job skills.

Learn something new everyday :D

Still, the other points remain :P


@Spirit:
Yeah, i do get them confused, but i was speaking on behalf of both classes in general, although now i know that FA doesn't work with 3rd/4th job skills :P

Firing timing is not that imporatant unless you have a slow reaction time. If you disagree, elaborate on whats firing timing of importance.

Yeah, that does suck. I wish they'd fix it... FA deserves to KB.

In my experience being a level 17X bow master ... XP

I would get f/a, pkb (imo) is useless, because most of the monsters are slow and fat, and almost never come close to you. And if you bomb (mostly for stunning), the f/a really helps even out the damage ^^
omg are you serious?!?!

I might reconsider FA/PKB with the recent buff.
