It's like my favorite skill in this game. Most of the time it betrays me horribly. When i was at bodyguards this morning i got 2 dice 5s and 2 dice 6s right after when he was near death (he died after dice 6 ended >_>). Other times i can use it to my advantage, like how i use it for pap. I just stand on the door and keep casting dice until i get 6 and go in for the kill lol. Amazing strategy when you can kill pap in a single ST cycle.

It's better for buccs because we control cooldowns.

It'd be better if it was a party skill. And it stacked with itself. And it would automatically eliminate the dice rolls you already have cast on you as a possibility on successive rolls.

I like it, but I don't rely too much on it.
Still...

I was thinking this the other day..
Even if you can't kill a boss in one Lucky Dice cast..
Can't you just keep taking hits and healing, wait for Lucky Dice to become the EXP buff to kill a boss?

If you want to spend several minutes taking hits from the boss waiting for the dice, sure.

Average time to roll a 6 is 20 minutes (slightly less for Buccs). Does not seem worth it unless the boss gives absolutely enormous amounts of exp.

Lucky Dice hates my guts. I get more 1s than anything else.
One day on JMS, I rolled 40-some 1s in a row. What the f'uck, man?

I always get 6's when i start pap and then i get 2 or 3's on 2nd form T.T
I average 3-5's pretty often. 1's are aggravating, but w/e

Free buff's a free buff. I love it a lot for that reason.

I like lucky dice for the same reason I like brawlers, we keep alternating how we fight and this buff alternates between the buffs it gives. I just hate the fact that I find the first 3 buffs to be close to useless (nothing sucks, defense sucks unless its constant, and HP/MP bonuses suck unless they are constant), but the last 3 are more than welcomed.

I don't have a bucc, but I personally don't like buffs you can't rely on, especially when those buffs give HP/MP. I especially don't see the point in HP/MP raising skills that have a cooldown.

Because there IS no point. to me 2 and 3 are almost as useless as 1 to get. 4's a nice DPS boost, 5's a VERY nice DPS boost, and 6 is what I pray for when I boss. basically 2\6 are useful 100% of the time.
