Cannoneer comes from a lvl 87 quest. It's slightly better then an artilleryman in dmg health and defense.
so im level 40 it is impossible for me to hire a cannoneer??? huhuhuhu... how about those class like princess,witch etc.. what level are they become available???
Let me give you a comparison or the two for you have to a rough estimate if it is worth it to use a cannonner over an artillery man.
Stat Artilleryman Cannoneer
Str 200 230
Dex 160 190
Def 200 220
Int 220 240
Vit 210 224
M.Def 275 280
Now with spells:
Artillery Man:
-Deep insight
-Deadly Shot
-Chaos Wind(Hero)
Cannoneer:
-Smoke Bomb
These info can also be found in "Game Info" then "Mercenary"
Beast Trainer - Lvl 44 Quest
Witch - Lvl 51 Quest
Exorcist - Lvl 57 Quest
Princess - Lvl 63 Quest
Prophet - Lvl 70 Quest
Oracle - Lvl 76 Quest
Inventory - Lvl 84 Quest
Cannoneer - Lvl 87 Quest
Lady Knight - Lvl 95 Quest
Spartan - Lvl 100 Quest, requires Lady Knight, Exorcist and Beast Trainer marble
thanks for the info... it helps me a lot.. so i think artillery man is quite good.. there is just slight difference between the two and the artillery man can access easily!!! so i think i go for artilleryman... by the way where do you get infos about those high class mercs???
If what you meant by where can you see the stats that i posted, you can check ingame. It is found by clicking on the [Game Info] which is the second button located on the upper left hand side of the game window then click on Mercenary.
You use the Mercenry information window by clicking on the weapon of the merc type you want to check then the merc name. ie, the cannon icon the you see two mercs there, artilleryman and cannoneer. So you simply click on which one you want to see.
Another way is going to the atlantica website and clicking on the mercenary on the navigational bar at the left side.
I find artillerymen to be mediocre in PVE. Although they have great AoE, they do pretty bad damage, and can't hit air. I still think a gunner is a better ranged character than the artilleryman, especially after you get chaos wind and other powerful gunner spells.

I hired artilleryman for one reason.. for stunning purposes... artilleryman is one of the mercenary that has a high percentage of stunning the enemy.. not just one but he can stun numbers of enemy so it is easy for me to nuke them out...
once you get an artilleryman to lvl 50 and get him to the next rank his deep insight skill will hit a whole group of enemies. not only does it do decent dot dmg but it shows your enemies health which means you dont need health check licenses anymore. also for a ranged merc they have fairly high HP. And tho other mercs may have higher dmg. A dead merc will always = 0 dmg.
Artillerymen on their own won't deal massive damage, but I agree that they stun a lot because they hit a LOT of units. After using one for some time, I realize that the artilleryman's strength is not that it can deal massive single target damage, but that it can hit multiple units all at once. The stun is one of its strengths, and it can take out a lot of weakened units at once. Don't expect it to deal massive damage though.
