Having just got Buccaneer(level 123 currently). I can say that 1-3 is NOTHING compared to buccaneer. Third job bucc was just so lame, I liked it from level 70-90 but that's because it was a step up from 2nd job. But now that I'm a bucc, it's more than double the fun. I was able to kill pap at level 120 in like, 20 freaking minutes(givesme around 25% or so), super transform is fun, but currently there seems to be a glitch in the attack speed for dragon strike(need confirmation if it's a glitch.).
Yeah, that's the main thing that holds me back, the fact that DS is a bit slower in Transform, making early level super transform only useful for demolition at bosses, and regular transform pretty much becomes obsolete. The speed and jump buff is nice, but overall I'd say my ass kicking is about equal when in regular trans and when not in trans, and I don't think it should be that way. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
What I liked about Bucc was that, it didn't take a few levels to get right to the good stuff, it was amazing how just ONE level has improved my character so much (119-120), when I was an I/L, it took me about 10 whole levels just to start feeling more powerful(pre-bb, I don't know how good they are now since I sold all of it's equips). Even at level 1 their skills are extremely useful, Time Leap, Demolition, Barrage, Super transform, Speed Booster, all useful at level 1.
I don't regret my choice, I am seeing mechanics do triple my damage, at twice my speed, but I am having a lot of fun with my buccaneer. One thing I really enjoy is Dojo PQ, when I get to manon I super transform and do the Barrage/Dragon strike attack, then when he starts to prepare his 1/1 I quickly use demolition and it doesn't even hit me! Same with pap, his 1/1's never hit me because you can dodge them before they happen.
Another crappy thing about Buccaneer is that, if they are dispelled, their buffs dissapear. Super Transform and regular transform do not turn off, you don't go out of the transformed state, but EVERY buff from it dissapears, you there's no point in regular transform at bosses, I can avoid paps dispelling by going to the top ledge to use demolition, but at future bosses, the buffs from transform are pretty much void for me. I'm not sure if that's a glitch or not but I really hope it gets changed.

R, You may be bored of Marauder, but that'll change once you start to bucc pomegranate up.
