Tips Upgrading Cannon Master

Hey all!

I'm starting to pour some resources into a Cannon Master and I was wondering if you might have any tips for me.

I've perfected a cannon, which is unique (needs work). He's got 2 tyrant pieces which need enhancing. A cra set.

A) Do you think % attack gives a significant edge, moreso than other classes, since cannons have so much base att?
B) Do you think I'd be able to kill Hard Gollux purely off of attack and % attack, ignoring %str almost entirely? (say, 300-400k range)
C) What do you recommend for hypers?
D) To monkey cape or not to monkey cape?

Thanks for your advice and answers!

Not too sure about this one, but % att is always good
B) Do you think I'd be able to kill Hard Gollux purely off of attack and % attack, ignoring %str almost entirely? (say, 300-400k range)
Hard gollux is really easy once you figure it out, take out the left shoulder (right side of gollux), stand on the left side and spam away. I recommend putting your monkey summon on you so that the left monster summon is immediately killed and that you use monkey fury to take out the right side. (If monkey fury doesn't work, you'll have to risk putting the summon on the right and you'd have to consistently kill the summons on the left) It'll take some time but easily doable.
C) What do you recommend for hypers?
I take the 3rd monkey, bazooka line, barrage all three. However, it all depends as I only take crit for barrage since my crit becomes 100% with the hyper. Otherwise it's best to probably take dmg + line for both bazooka and barrage leaving one point for your choice. The point should probably go into the third monkey if you want to have a better chance at killing the gollux summons.
D) To monkey cape or not to monkey cape?
Eh, I've tried it, the cape is really weird.

[quote=Uonatrik]A) Cannoneers have higher(highest?) ATT modifier so yea %att is great on them.
B) It's possible, it'll be difficult though.
C) STR, DEX, HP, MP, Crit for +stat
Bazooka/Barrage +line and +damage, monkeys +line for passive
D) Monkey cape on cannoneer looks kinda weird, I like tyrant cape's design so I don't put any nx over it.[/quote]

Monkey split damage also cuts the damage in half, which is extremely useless since summons aren't limited by the 50mil cap.
+1 summon is much better

theres a post below this one about how to hard gollux as cannoneer, I think its possible with 400k but will take long time..
hyper- str,dex,hp,mp,crit. idk wat to do with last point; +1monkey,bazooka/barrage dmg+line

and idk if it would help you in anyway but you can check out my youtube channel. I have random vids of my cannoneer and some vids about my equips.[/quote]

Oh I'll totally subscribe! It's not cannon - master - centric but I also upload maple vids if you'd like to take a gander. Mrcheezmcnasty is mine.

After taking a peek, I saw you used a skill to hit a mob on the far side of gollux. What skill was that? I don't remember seeing it from when I leveled mine pre RED
