 Furthermore, the general concept behind fusilier gameplay is to use scattershot extensively - when launching many stones the damage they do is similar to mages at high surge - ie. very high damage output.

 When it says "fairly healthy" it should say "very healthy", particularly given that you have to be a  small race. A full set of hp gear will easily give you 500 hp though, so this shouldn't be an issue. Based on some testing, 697 hp was not sufficient, but 705 was, so 700 seems to be the cutoff point.

-Of the races that work well as fusiliers, selection is broad - most of the races will have similar HP (with dwarves/duergar being much larger, and sprites being the smallest). Demonseeds are a good choice as well due to very high dexterity and good archery.

-'''Soloing:''' Soloing is where fusiliers find themselves easily. After Hero 101 when [[Underfoot]] and [[Scattershot]] become available, they can solo as well as spellcasters. At first use mixed gear (see [[Tanking In Hit Gear]] for information on gear selection), and later use regular HR gear - fusiliers won't be left wanting for HP. When soloing, scattershot is used almost exclusively.

 '''Tanking:''' If one can solo, one can also tank. With a healer in tow, using mixed or straight HR gear (depending on size), nothing prevents fusiliers to tank and deal solid damage while at it. Their rescue will be out-of-class and slow, but that is true for most classes.
