General tips for Bourg?

[Mister Lahey]

I'm the least familiar with the dealer class and plan on making a Bourgeois or maybe a crafting Artisan once EA goes live.

Do you guys more experienced with the Dealer class have some general advice? I'm thinking I will make a gun Bourg. Thanks!

Gun/Launcher Artisans Work.
Gun Bourgeois doesn't work that well. Launcher bourgeois is/can be very strong.

Go with Bourgeois if you want to focus more on grind farming or combat.
Go Artisan if you want to focus more on craft grinding / vending with some combat on the side.

Bourgeois is more durable / stable in combat, especially pvp. Artisan is weaker in combat defensively, particularly in PvP where it has no decloak. So if a Raider fights you, you can't stop them from hiding, you are guaranteed to lose every fight against a raider if they use stealth/cloaking.

Hi, since i was playing Bourgeois during iRose and not for Evo versions, does it has differences in stats builds/utility ?
As for Artisans, it was a build going full CON and SEN for better crafts. Is that still the same way to build ?

I heard something about charm increasing some other stuffs than the quality stats for the drops, is that correct ?

Charm increases buff power for all job classes, heal power, damage over time, critical defense and some rewards from older quests.  It has nothing to do with drops.

You keep saying that CHARM does not effect DROPS... can we get confirmation it does not effect CRAFTS?

I'm feeling kind of undecided about whether I want to go Bourg or Artisan. Does Bourg get additional discount skills other than the common dealer one? Also is Bourg generally better for making zulie quickly compared to Artisan?

Bourg makes money from farming and Arti making money from crafting if you build it good with all 7s Gems

Strength until the next cannon.
2:1 when it comes to CON:SEN
And a little bit of charm for the buffs

What skills would you focus on? I'm also rolling Bourg, but I have 0 clue what skills I should be using. Thanks!!

Get your summons, i feel the skills specialy early on are very lacklustering since they are %-based scaling (% of low AP remains low AP), that i just take all the raw passives (con/sen buff, con passive).

Charm does effect the buff power ( mage / cleric ) and if you hover over the attribute you can see the main attribute of every class makes the buff stronger also.

For dealers, a lot depends on which weapon you're using.  Launchers require strength to equip and guns require con.  Imo you will want some str even on a gun bourg to help with survivability.  Remember that we have free stat and skill resets.  Go to the skill window then click on the Item Mall tab.  There are three skills with a red x on them.  For stat resets you must remove all equipment first.

Yup that is very useful. I'm on launcher now. Con more, enough str for nxt launcher. Little sense

Charm is huge for debuffs, it works massively, i get 42% def debuff at lvl 209 with 323 charm, and if you lvl in temple you get more lisent hg with more charm.
