I dont see the problem in his answers, and he is the most active Basil Cannonneer in the Cannoneer section.
He answers all my questions and maybe he puts them in a weird manner but it surely helps and can be taken as constructive criticism.

Sounds about right.

I did answer this threads question (with no) and just didn't go into specifics because it's a really dumb question. There [i]is[/i] no "required" range for high end bosses because stats can have either perfect balance or no balance at all and still succeed. You can probably kill a boss with 300%+ boss/200%+ PDR (lots of small lines)/1.3m range/25k hp/30% base status resist/0% att, or you could kill it at 240% boss/140% PDR (a few large lines), 2m range/30k hp/55% status resist/30% att, or you could kill it with a hundred other configurations. Did you think range is the only stat in this game, or do you really want us to answer her with every single successful variation of stats when the two strongest cannoneers in this thread so far can't even do it with over 1.3m range/250% boss/200% PDR/30k hp/55% resist/9-20%+ att and would thus only be pulling numbers out of air?

v2's spawn after empress has been reduced down to the 20 to 25% hp mark.
meaning you have to clear up to 75 to 80% of empress hp.
theres a 30minute time limit.
she has 63b hp, 100% PDR, 50% physical resist.

[quote=letshavesomefun]So how about for once you provide some valid information instead of always just shooting down other people's answers?[/quote]

Not sure why shooting people down makes my information invalid. You would think it would have to be valid for the answer to be shot down in the first place.

[quote=Takeback3r]Survivability was more a factor than damage was for cannoneers at empress. Even with sniping bazooka, that kind of range/boss/pdr/hp/status resistance wouldn't have been able to cut it back then.[/quote]

[quote=UrHedsOnFire]Pre-Unleashed IIRC it was 200k + 100% boss and you were able to do it easy (mostly depending on your job, but if you were capping consistently with your main attacking skill it was a breeze).[/quote]

[quote=Takeback3r]That wouldn't have even been close to enough pre-unleashed.[/quote]

it was enough in the past :'(, My how times have changed :'(

That wouldn't have even been close to enough pre-unleashed.

It's not possible currently with those stats. I'm not even sure if I can solo it yet, and I'm at ~1.3m range with 260% boss.

The All-cure pouch will trigger the potion lock, so I'd suggest not putting any All-cures into there if you're going to attempt.

i don't know if you can solo, but i think the pet all cure will trigger potion lock. even familiars trigger it.
