And even if it is the equivalent of skirmisher, its skirmisher with nothing else. Pair skirmisher with a banner of power and lost excellence and you'll see what i mean.
That’s why I specifically said also including phantom kick and counter stance giving it enough damage to make it “one of the most broadly useful jobs” and “more than just about any other job”

Oracle is dangerous (using cleanse is a loss compared to monk) and canonneer doing more damage is based on your chance of hitting counterstance and how much 27% helps you (like DPS vs healer)

It doesn’t do the most damage but like I said it’s one of the most broadly useful jobs because it can do some of the most damage, has sustain and is equally useful on any class. Which way it falls with canonneer is based on a variety of factors
