Why not just rush the mobs instead of bumping against them?

How is it lazy and uncreative? How do you suggest they display the theme of attacks getting better with energy if i can't f'ucking SEE that my attacks are stronger, or if my attacks change to something else entirely?
It's lazy and uncreative because the skill itself is a reskin of Barrel Bomb, and has always been. Buccs should make actual uppercuts, not create whirlwinds with uppercuts. We're not Wind Archers.

I wasn't aware that the theme of buccs was having no mobility except for rush.
Takebacker Wrote:Now spiral is a good 1v1 attack, something they desperately needed pre-4th job, and dspiral is better rushing overall because it's spammable and covers more range more quickly than spiral/dspiral did...
It does seem way faster than before.

Watched it, same old boring stuff, except faster.
Energy was never the main perk of Buccs. Consider that pre-bb, you would equally use Somersault, Double Uppercut, Corkscrew, and Barrage (4 melee skills (edit: 5, forgot elbow)), then enter energy mode and use Drain, Blast, and Orb (3 energy skills), while having Demolition and Snatch at last (2 transformation skills). And I guess Dragon Strike was our one lazor. All of these skills had their uses, which was cool.
Out of the 3 energy skills, honestly Drain was the most useful. Blast and Orb had very marginal and situational uses. Now they've switched the focus to energy, and changed transform into a summon, which looks and feels silly, and basically only Somersault has a melee feel to it. Watching the videos, I thought that 1st job looked way more fun than 4th job. I guess that I always say buccs as the melee class of the game, but now they're a pineappleing christmas tree throwing colors all around, and can't even punch the enemies themselves, as they rely on the spirit summon.
It would be nice to let us change into Thunder Breakers/Strikers, but I guess that Corsairs look pretty fun. I've really lost any desire to play Buccs now.
