Guide to a Cannon Shooter (Maplestory)

Hello everyone! So the new job cannon shooter is coming to global maplestory on December 6th, 2011. Some people are excited, but some people dread it! Me on the other hand am excited for a new character finally.
Why am I making this guide?
Well... I have been looking for a level by level build for the cannon shooter for about 3 weeks now, but I could not find one! So frustrating... I got tired of looking so I decided to make an effort to build my own. I have never played as a cannon shooter before and have not much experience as a pirate class, so please excuse me if my guide is terrible haha.
What to expect?
Cannon shooters are are an adventurer pirate class and are STR based like Buccaneers. They do require DEX to use higher level weapons. The weapons that a cannon shooter uses, if you did not know already, is a cannon. They have a pretty slow attack speed.
So lets get this guide started!!!!!
1st Job Cannon Shooter
10- cannon splash                          1 (1)
11-13- cannon build- up                3 (9)
          14- cannon build- up                      1 (maxed)
      cannon splash                          2 (3)
  15-20- cannon splash                    3 (18)
          21- cannon splash                          2 (maxed)
      gigantic back step                     1 (1)
   22-25- gigantic back step               3 (13)
         26- gigantic back step                    2 (maxed)
       cannon punch                          1 (1)
                       27-30- cannon punch                     3 (16) (do not max)
This is just the basic build of every cannon shooter. Just follow it as it is, or you can max cannon punch (not recommended). You could give up some points in cannon slash, or gigantic back step. Cannon splash is your main attack though and gigantic back step is your mobility. It is just like a thief's flash jump or a corsair's recoil shot. It is very handy, and you get it earlier than either of those classes. So it would be recommended just to follow the build shown above.
2nd Job
30- slug shot                                  1 (1)
  31-36- cannon mastery                  3 (18)
         37- cannon mastery                        2 (maxed)
       cannon booster                       1 (1)
38- cannon booster                        3 (4)
39- cannon booster                        2 (6)
 40-43- slug shot                             3 (13)
                                     44- slug shot                                  2 (15) (does not get maxed)
      critical fire                                1 (1)
 45-48- critical fire                          3 (13)
         49- critical fire                                2 (maxed)
      monkey barrel rush                   1 (1)
         50-55- monkey barrel rush             3 (maxed)
  56-61- monkey magic                    3 (18)
         62- monkey magic                          2 (maxed)
      cannon booster                         1 (7)
   63-66- cannon booster                   3 (19)
          67- cannon booster                         1 (maxed)
       pirate training                           2 (2)
68-69- pirate training                      3 (8)
         70- pirate training                            2 (maxed)
      extra point                                1
Okay, to explain something. I found slug shot more useful when watching videos of training. your other option would be to max monkey barrel rush in place of slug shot. Either way you should end up with maxed monkey barrel rush and 15 slug shot. This is my preference, but do what every you want to! It is not my character. I am just here to help. ^o^
