Max Snipe/MMB or Pierce 1st?

I'm not sure if I should max pierce now or wait. I'm level 134, and I have 21 pierce and 10 sp points left. I want to get snipe up there so I can use it quicker at bosses, but I don't want to miss out on a quicker training speed if pierce 30 allows that. What route is best for me? MAx pierce to 30 then snipe? Or leave pierce at 21, max snipe, then max MMB?

I think a level 21 pierce is just fine, you can boost that up and your strafe/ultimate strafe by working on mmb after. Having pierce and snipe would be ok I guess but you can just max ultimate strafe and marksmenboost and it would be pretty useful for boss or training.

[quote=Starbomba]i agree with punieman. 21 pierce is a must, since lvl 1 pierce only hits 4 monsters, and pierce's strongest hits are the 5th and the 6th ones.

even now i'd say you can go max snipe after 21 pierce, without maxing MMB first. US+snipe+new damage formulas makes up for the lack of MMB, and even then, the skill that benefits the most from MMB is pierce.

if you plan to train and not boss a lot, i'd recommend maxing MMB tho. with it's new cooldown, snipe is very good even at lvl 1[/quote]

Thnx this was very helpful.

[quote=punieman]I've heard after you get pierce to 21 (for 6 monster hit) you max MMB, then finish off pierce. However if you boss a lot, then maybe go the snipe route.[/quote]

Thnx.
