Hmmmm, Deep down, I dont think there will ever be a cookie cutter Buccaneer, there are too many different ways you can go.
I'm sure some energy whore won't be able to resist the Orb.
While those who love Transform+bossing will grab Stransform and demolition
While those who love bossing(not Transform) will go Barrage (prolly duo'd with drain)
Someones gonna want to simply level faster, and they'll get Dragon strike
Unless they want to use transform, and then its Stransform+snatch
As for me, right now, it looks like A combo of bossing with and without, because frankly, once I can get to 120, im pretty much done
im not a good grinder, and I'll still be able to level, albeit slower than those who use DS and Snatch+SW

I can think of...
Stun Mastery->Shock->Energy (Shikage)
Energy build (Loose)
Energy->Shock semi-hybrid (Mine)
what else is there ;_;
Energy/Stun build?
Uh, that first one isn't justins build, but ok. xD
Try to mix and match and you'll get a lot more than you're aware of.

You'll just burn a pomegranate load more pots.
You mean my 17 drain, 27 shock, 27 blast build?
Yeah, me too.
I just don't find stun mastery that useful for me. In order to activate it you have to use backspin or DU, which is meh for my playing style. I find it more useful in 4th job.

It breaks goby houses pretty fast since you're constantly stunning them anyway, if that means anything.
Heh. You find stun mastery useless, and i find shockwave to be useless. xD
Edit: What the hell is up with your sig? Do you change it every 10 minutes or something? O_O
ZachAttack Wrote:That's true about the gobie houses. I dunno. I might have to continue experimenting >_>.
I have a sig rotator, it automatically switches between a few pre-set sigs every now and then
You just have to ditch a more useless skill. To me, that's shockwave. Marauders never solo himes as far as i know, and that's the only place shockwave is useful in third job and even then you'll be wasting a pomegranate load of pots (of course this will happen pretty much anytime and pretty much every time you spam shockwave). Gobies you can solo for decent % and an alternate training spot to...i dunno...typhons? Not sure what the best training area is in late third job.
See, that's what i thought it was but dismissed it because i've never seen anyone do that before. o_o

Well, considering that Energy Build is all about gobies, maybe I should change it to add stun mastery first. idkmybffjill.

See, that's what rusty suggested but i still don't see why. No stun mastery means 20 more points in charge/blast which are the two skills you obviously NEED at gobies. +60% per crit isn't going to help kill the house that much faster. o_o The bone fish on the other hand...
