Cannoneer and Magnus?
What kind of strategy does anyone use for Magnus?
I haven't seen any videos of a Cannoneer at Magnus on Youtube before and had no success finding one either.
Edit: Obviously for as a Cannoneer, I've done Magnus as a Battle Mage only up to this point.

You can dodge his spin and dash with your vertical jump skill. Try not to land near him if you use it to dodge dash as it is glitchy and will hit you even if the animation seems to be over.
[quote=singsangsong]First off, if you have never done magnus before, I highly recommend you to try it first at easy magnus.
What I usually do is:
1. Set up the monkey
2. Mark magnus with the debuff
3. Stay at the edge of the barrier (this is for all jobs to dodge his sword swing attack that knocks you back) and spam cannon barrage
It's not that different with any other class, just a few more things to do to deal more damage to him.
For dodging the poop that falls down, use backstep shot or jump+backstep rather than flashjump because our flashjump has so much range and you're going to hit another one while dodging the one infront. Another tip would be time your barrages rather than keeping it pressed down, the skill has a delay at the end and when you keep pressing it down, while the thing is falling, your going to get hit unless you backstep quickly.[/quote]
Aside from the "your" at the end this is entirely accurate, do this.

If you learn how to magnus, you should record and post it for views. Also, I cannoy help you because I never really fought magnus and was forced to just join the last time.
