167 20 MW

and for the rest max timeleap or safe points for MW 30 just what u like to

Reasons of this Build:

lvl 120-121:
Its just the start the skills aint good yet but u have everything atm mostly for fun and some are usefull
u can use both transfroms for shockwave

121-125:
Speed infusion is the best skill u can do know because it works on party and also on ur 2nd and 3rd job things.

125-134:
Dragonstrike is main skill to train with NOT barrage like some ppl think.
Dragonstrike is multie and very strong and barrage will overkill alot when its maxed what is not realy needed.
At my lvl (163 atm) i use like 70% dragonstrike and 10 % barrage and 20% skills to move like cork and backspin.
Barrage is mostly just there to kill a monster when theres 1 left.


135-141:
Demolition strongest skill from the buccaneer its good for bosses but around this lvl also for training.
At lvl 21 demolition i was able to 1hit ko skelegons and the big newties so that was all needed for me back then and its a good skill on bosses.
U might ask why not 20? this is why
19 MP - 35 280% Damage 300% Range
20 MP - 35 290% Damage 300% Range
21 MP - 50 310% Damage 300% Range
btw this count for almost every skills lvl X0 to X1 is beter then the rest.

141-147:
now u got Demolition on enough power to kill everything 1hit theres no need for more points but still u cant use it much thats why i did Supertransfrom here.

148-150:
Finish of demolition now mostly for bosses

151-160:
Barrage i did this skill so late because the other skills were just better
and if u look at newties.
Dragonstrike can kill 3 before they respawn(at bottomline)
Barrage mostly just kill 2 before they respawn(at bottomline)
its not that Barrage isnt good for training its great ^^ and also for bosses
I found out a way how to kill 5 newties before they respawn at bottomline with Dragonstrike and Barrage

160-167:
finaly MW i did this so late because i mostly train with other ppl that got 9-19 mw

167-177:
Timeleap i will do this for pink been

177-180:
MW 20-29


If u got a question ask it
btw dont mind the grammer tomuch i know its bad

Very nice. I'd end up having a similar build but add Snatch and mabey Enery Orb for fun at first. I'm not sure I'm going to level SI right away considering I solo all the time and SI 11 doesn't benefit me. Either way, I like the build overall .

I like this build very much and agree with everythingg you say.I might use it if I ever decide to train my Bucc again. Currently at 123, was waiting for HT pendant and egg but a certain guild decided they didn't want me to get it, so I just stopped playing. Now I can't be bothered.

Btw, update your sig and info. :p

Dragon strike is the best for training, but I dont see how you can keep your training speed up without maxing blast.

I also don't see how you can max demolition before barrage. Sure demolition is strong, but it can't outdamage barrage over time (over time meaning any boss fight over 4 minutes) because of its cooldown. Sure you'll be a useful damage dealer at bosses, but it'll be for 2 minutes at a time. During those cooldowns, you'll be weak as dirt doing double upper -> flash fist x3. (1st and 2nd job skills)

About wind booster, a lot of bucs won't be going to serious boss fights at lvl 125, and wont need lvl 11 wind booster. I was going to get mine to 11 til i found out that we gain our biggest benefit at lvl 1 (mine is lvl 2). Unless youre in a guild that goes to HT regularly, and they can take you as a "booster mule", leaving it at 1 is the best option. 10 SP is a lot of SP to use up on a skill that only benefits some people some of the time. A lot of us can't get to 16x in 2 months, and we realize that we need that 10 SP to something that will benefit us before we start benefitting other people. LvL 1 will still be more than enough to help out melee while training.

Eh well that's only if you haven't gotten around to pumping STF yet.

Without Barrage early on, expect your DPS at bosses to be terrible. I don't even want to imagine a bucc at HT, "Oh hey guys, 2 mins up, time to sit in a chair for 2 minutes and be totally useless! =D." If you're all about training, and don't boss much, then this is a great build for you, otherwise I'd recommend some changing around.

Edit: Also, you say Barrage only kills 2 before the next spawn? I kill 3, sometimes the whole bottom with barrage >_>

My build isn't that much different than Seii's (not my written build, the one I make up on my Viper). Other than the fact that I simutaneously level skills, that is. One major difference is that I'm maxing Dragon Strike, then maxing Rapid Fists, then getting Demolition. Until the new patch from KMST comes to JMS and GMS, I feel like being transformed is somewhat clostrophobic-ish. There really isn't much to do but spam the skills over. Being a combo fighter that Infighters are, it's boring to change to a spamming skill.

Aight, have fun with your build.

I'm gonna max Energy Orb first because it's a kamehameha!

this.

my build is 21 dragon strike -> 15 barrage -> lvl 11 Si -> max d strike -> max barrage -> 19 MW -> 2 demo/1 Stransform per lvl.

Why you get Barrage so late?

yes double upper and flash fist would be week but how about dragonstrike dubble upper that is a whole diff already and after that dragonstrike dubble energy drain if u maxed it both are good dmg.

about the booster most ppl think its for the other ppl in ur party NOT TRUE!
its works VERY good on dragonstrike barrage and demo

umm about the imagine a bucc at HT part .. ur planning to do dmg at ht at lvl 120-150? dude the dmg sucks cus of lvl diffrence already so that doesnt care in the first place...
and same as i said before dragonstrike is also good dmg same for energy drain.

and btw u can be right at the barrage killing 3 i didnt try around lvl 130-140 u did

^^^^^^^

lvl 11 booster only helps other people.

Even at other bosses (zakum, pap, pianus) where we can do damage, barrage is going to be better than demolition. Dragon strike -> double upper sounds alright, but barrage 24/7 sounds better.

btw thing bigger would u like to stand next to anego using barrage ^^?
i soloed my first anego at lvl 143 in 55min
but the point is SI 11 helps urself to. f3
and barrage 24/7 bad idea it got a delay u will still use double upper or DS

I, too, have to disagree with this. You people constantly say that level 11 Wind Booster doesn't do anything more than level 1 Wind Booster for Vipers, but I've tested the speed in JMS multiple times. Level 11 Wind Booster DOES add more speed than level 1 while stacked with regular Booster. Maybe it's changed in Global, but in JMS it really does make a difference in attack speed. If you listen to the speed of the six hits in Rapid Fists while using the different speeds, you'll hear it.

if lvl 11 wind booster helps out bucs, doesn't that mean that bucs can bypass the weapon speed limit? I'm gonna test it out in a bit, I got a friend with lvl 11 booster.

Here's an idea, why not just make a guide that shows all of the builds or alternatives for a Buccaneer? That's what I did on my PADK guide, just list multiple builds that are popular, and builds that are slightly uncommon, but has it's effectiveness. That way, people won't have to argue over it, and just pick a build FROM that guide that fits them best.

Well you might want Speed Infusion if your gonna leech... Like stack it with a bishop so they can attack faster with genesis but thats pretty much it.

It's proven that Wind Booster doesn't work on Mages. =/ Too bad it doesn't, huh?

okay I tried it, and yah it is faster. I wonder who started the 11 booster only helps others thing? It doesn't make sense though, with 11 booster effecting bucs, our weapon speed is faster than maxed speed.

Well, when I first got Wind Booster to 11 (before Pirates were released in GMS), I thought, without much trial, that the speed didn't increase after level 1. However, the statistics proved it wrong. So, I tested it more and then proved that it did in fact speed up attack speeds for Vipers. I guess someone didn't get the last part of it and then continued saying that it didn't speed it up. So... I guess you can blame that one on me. Haha
