lol YES. That's the video I was thinking of, except I took less hits than him at Skeles; looked like lag for him. Again, When I only burned ~60-90 Honsters in half an hours worth of training using this style, that says something.
I'm managed to replicate ~85% of his training style. It's a lot more fun than I thought it'd be.

Glad it's not just me.
It's not meant to be a 100% miss style/perfect method. It's meant to greatly mitigate (lessen) pot burn while using Dragon Strike to it's fullest effect. I even admitted in my original post I still got hit ~20% of the time while training because a Dragon Strike after a Backspin Blow leaves me wide open on purpose for the sake of more damage.
Look closely at his pot count in the video. Started with 728(9?) Reindeer Milks. He ended the video after ~4 minutes with 725 Milks (rounding down the minutes). So in 4 minutes he only used 3/4 x 15 = 45-60 Reindeer Milks an hour. That's roughly 45-75 Honsters an hour (depending on how much HP the Buccaneer has), while still raping the monster pretty badly. Dohohohohoh.
*A relook at the video I saw that those times he got hit in the middle of the mobs, he was standing still a bit too long after Dragon Strike when he could have followed up a CSB or BSB or he didn't DS soon enough after his CSBs. It does not disprove the style ability to really reduce damage using Dragon Strike. He was simply not responsive 100% of the time, BUT he took way less hits than what might be normally expected of Dragon Strike training. Heck, even I can't expect to exert perfect control while Dragon Dancing 100% of the time, but I come damn close to 100% when I'm focused.
**I recall tales from leeched Buccaneers on lolSleepy who thought that spending 300 Honsters/hour at NEWTIES using muthafreaking BARRAGE was considered cheap training, and also the very fact I used to burn 500-600+ Honsters at Skeles.
