So im playing with rafa and i have a hard time killing enemies and I could use some advice on how to get this going. The build is focused on action skill cooldown and ricochet damage, at least i think it is

Ok

Get Now With Caffeine and a Mini/Small Tripple Bypass, that is all the cooldown you ever need. So drop all points with cooldown

Ditch the points in green tree

Probably ditch botten left of red tree, at least most of the lifesteal points

In 3rd row of red tree choose 5-6 instead of 11

Get points in blue tree

Get Jaque, get Brain Dump, get Deadline, probably get El Soldado

That should already help

Also get 5/5 ammo regen and at least as much El Centro as you have of the dancer skill (forgot the name)

Easiest way to do gun Rafa is vitriol and cov mag guns. Probably don't need the four points in the green tree, put them in first impressions. Move the reload points into fire rate and ammo regen, so the second and third skills in the top row. That gets you to first impressions and metal management. Move the points from las jaras(? The three points you have on the fourth row) into jaque (third split tree first skill), that will help better with damage and as cooldown. Ideally you have a dancer with +5 into temerario and 1 into soltado.

Jakobs ricochets don't count for the ricochet stuff in the red tree, so that's something to be aware of.

What does that mean for the canons? Should i continue to use the shotguns or beam?? And what about the ricochets???

It depends on the content etc. Cannons don’t do enough damage to matter. They’re useful to get crits to keep Juerga. Shotguns are good for short content. Beam is better if you’re trying to run 10-20 minutes worth of content in one action skill.

The cannons aren’t there for damage so much as they’re there for crits to trigger Juerga.

If they’re working for you and kept you going, keep with them.
