Bummed about 5th job?
Is anyone else bummed out about the cannoneer's 5th job skill? It looked cool in concept, like if it were to be our new "bazooka" skill. But instead, it's just a slow casting, slow moving dps skill that needs to be constantly recasted. I just cant see this skill ever being viable because even bazooka fires faster. This skill itself further solidifies the fact that cannoneers need both speed infusion and +1 attack IA, which is ridiculous.

Design wise, such a silly looking skill. Not in my taste.
Utility wise, it is weak, weaker than Frozen Orb, although you can have 3 of these in the air at once, Frozen orb "sticks" to mobs. You are far better off just using Cannon Barrage instead when bossing. Not even that good for mobbing; its slow travel means that you could just Cannon Bazooka mobs its going to hit before it even reaches mobs. If anything, it provides vertical map coverage, but cannonneers have one of the best vertical jumps in the game.
It would be nice if the skill exploded. It looks like it should.
I don't really think cannonneers needed the mobbing help.
This skill is similar to Ice/Lightning mages Frozen Orb skill. I don't think that it's effected by speed boosters but compared to the I/L skill, it has a longer range? It could be usefull when training in large multi platform maps maybe. Like, set up your summons then move to the next platform fire one of them and continue along the map with bazooka. Rinse and repeat. What they should have done is make it work just like Frozen orb, it moves fast until it hits a mob then continues at the initial speed.
