Yup, current GMS Barrage is overkill on most training scenarios, I guess the new Barrage isn't that much different...
With maxed S.Transform that would be only 20 seconds you have to depend on Barrage. On training you can rely on DS much more, and on bosses you still need to Barrage>DS during these 20 seconds, since it's my understanding that they removed Barrage's spam. So DS should help a bit there, too.
But, for a level 160+ Viper who is getting a skill reset... there's really little reason to max Barrage if you can use these points in S.Trasnform, or even Maple Warrior, which will be way more beneficial if you solo.
It's gonna feel weird being transformed 90% of the time, I must admit. You could even use regular Transform and never see your character sprite again on maple, lulz.
