So, most of us who main bucc hope these changes get reverted or at very least get some form of balancing. Meanwhile, for those low- mid level buccs. What is the best SP distribution you would suggest ? perhaps max ST and orb first instead of snatch and TL What is the best macro for mobing and bossing while ST is on CD
I'm looking into whether it's possible to use 4th-job skills—at least enough to utilize the 3rd-job transformation. That might strike a good balance; I play a Buccaneer as well, so I'm trying to find a middle ground.
Personally, I'd probably do SI (11) > Barrage > DS > ST > Demo > TL Barrage + DS will be our single most handy combo during ST-cooldown. I'm sitting at 170 at time of this patch with Barrage, DS, Demo maxed, and 21 into TL... and I'm now locked out of ST for 2 full minutes because I built around the existing Bucc framework. So now I'm in the dilemma of spending 60k NX to reset TL into ST if I want to be remotely viable - or wait for this all to stabilize before making decisions. Either way, I'll be taking a nice break from Bucc most likely and play my Hero who's now infinitely more viable.
