Ok, so I've been following what everyone has been saying for a while, checking the skills, speeds, etc. Finally I got around to making a potential build that I think would be decent, and still takes into consideration what most people have been saying.
Several things I want to mention first are:
~Speeds references were taken from Attack Speed Refernce Thread credit and thanks to its author
~Attack dps were taken from Knuckle Combo %DPS Chart credit and thanks its author
~Credits to everyone on the thread :f6: for helping me with ideas
~If my information/understanding is wrong, please correct me, as it WILL make a difference when I get my last 9 lvls
~THe earlier levels do NOT take into consideration the KMST changes, because in all likely there will be 2+ months before we get them, and I plan to be far along enough where the early stuff wont matter anyways. When KMST changes take place in GMS, I'll adjust my build according to the new info.
~I understand this build may not work for EVERYONE, but as all brawler/marauder/bucc players will agree, everyone plays their chara somewhat different, and as such, this build is geared towards the way I like to play. Though it still may be a decent lay out.
Summary: A somewhat hybrid of the traditional DS first and an earlier xform build. I'll explain more of the build as I go along with it.
120 - 1 SI, 1 Barr, 1 DS
121 - 1 ST, 1 Demo, 1 Time
(Those seem to be pretty standard, no problems there.)
122 > 3 ST (4)
123 > 3 ST (7)
124 > 1 ST (8), 2 DS (3)
(8 ST early allows you to use a move stronger and faster than DS 66% of the time while training, with the intentions of training at himes and eventually peak. My regular training partners are a priest, NOT a bishop, and a corsair, so there is no need for more than 1 SI any earlier.)
125 - 130 > 3 DS (21)
(Now DS and SW are on par in terms of damage, plus DS hits 6 targets now, so stopping it here for now to build up other skills.)
131 - 134 > 3 ST (max)
(Himes should still be decent, though peak will probably be better training, either way mob moves, SW and DS, are still the main moves for training purposes. Max ST prepares for a bit of demo, plus also allows for 75% of the time SW training which, pre-KMST changes, is faster and slightly stronger than DS.)
135 - 139 > 2 SI (11), 1 Barr (6)
(Preparing for switching to crimson guardians at 15X, as well as SI for bossing, everything else is pretty much the same.)
140 > 2 Barr (8), 1 Demo (2)
141 > 3 Barr (11)
142 - 148 > 2 Barr (25), 1 Demo (9)
149 > 1 Barr (26), 2 Demo (11)
150 > 2 Barr (28), 1 Demo (12)
151 > 2 Barr (max), 1 Demo (13)
Afterwards, the idea would be to max Demo, DS, and MW, then get Time Leap maxed out as well. But stopping for comments on the build so far.
Thanks for those who critique and what not!
