I'm thinking of creating and training a Buccaneer right now.The class looks fun and combo-oriented which should keep me entertained for a while along with my shadower. My question is : Are their skills still broken? I read that some skills like Energy Blast and Energy Ball were bugged so they were basically useless. If u guys know the list of bucc skills that are still unusable please tell me so I know which to avoid. Thank you.
http://royals.ms/forum/threads/knuckle-pirate-defect-report.5685/ tl:dr thread: everything's pretty much fine up til 3rd job 3rd job: energy blast hits super slow so you have to somersault kick/ transform with shockwave as reliable mobbing until 4th job energy is charged super fast which is really nice, but the w.atk boost doesnt stack with any other attack buff. also for some reason, energy drain is bloody slow in transform as well. it's much faster in normal form. 4th job: energy ball is broken, doesnt do dmg. doesnt matter cause dragon strike is better. si is sorta fixed, it basically works. super transform doesnt boost defenses. also note: transform and super transform can only use transformation and energy skills. you cannot use stuff like somersault kick/ corkscrew/ barrage etc in s. transform this was updated in gms later so that we had access to all skills but not in the version we use in royals. keep that in mind before making a bucc cause the combos are pretty limited in that aspect
I see. Thank you. I had no idea these many skills were still broken. I guess I'll hold off training a bucc for the mean time.
Honestly the skills that are broken aren't really game changing, at least not at endgame. Energy ball isn't as good as dragon strike so you're fine there. Also, you aren't supossed to be able to use skills other than the specific transformation skills while in transformation. That is not a bug. I personally think making a bucc is a great idea. You will almost always be picked over other classes for bosses like horntail. Also if you decide to quit your bucc, you can use it as an si mule later.
I love the playstyle of Bucc. However, the prospect of having to use SomerSault Kick up till 4th job is just too much for me. Still I guess I'm gonna stick to training my brawler till 3rd job and see how things go.
