The video I've been talking about for a while.
Showing how Bucs train at different places. One of the main reasons I made this video is to show why shockwave becomes obsolete in 4th job. I maxed drain over shockwave, and I don't regret it at all.
No fancy effects or zooming in and out with crazy music and stuff. Just me killing shiet

Peak is one of the better solo maps for most classes, in my experience. Can't beat party training though D:
Nice video. I hope this makes Devil stop talking about spamming Shockwave to train.

:O i cant wait to watch this when i get to a better connection. This should help me decide now if i want to leave shockwave at 3 or not. I find transform really inhibited by two factorsL 1) its not giving Attack boosts and 2) you are limited in usable skills (til the new changes come), its somewhat slower to go into transform and move to a place i wont get knocked off of when using shockwave, its just faster to spam sumersault kick and zoom around with cork screw and back spin.

I want to see how ur energy orb turns out. I think u should atleast add 11 dragon strike before you start maxing energy orb though. It'll help u charge energy WAYYY faster. You see how fast I charged energy at peak? It's just like being at himes.

I'm still gonna max shockwave and transform. You may make us think that it's never useful at all, but I highly doubt that there is absolutely no use for it. As far as I can tell, it's good for himing in third job.

I didn't say it's not useful at all, i'm saying that once you get dragon strike, it becomes obsolete. I don't see any reason to max shockwave other than to get to 4th job a bit faster. It's not like people who max drain will be shockwaveless, ours will just be weaker. The only time I'm probably going to start using shockwave, is when I get to 15x+ and start getting points into demolition. Then I can use it for that 2 mins of demo spamming to clear mobs at zakum. Shockwave gets replaced by dragon strike, drain gets replaced by nothing, and Blast is used in combination with dragon strike.
People keep debating shockwave vs drain. I prefer drain, and I made the video to show why. If someone else prefers shockwave then that's fine with them. I made this video for my own debating purposes. The only reason I ever hear for shockwave (as in why to max it over drain) is because it's good at himes during 3rd job. That's it  . People keep arguing with me that drain sucks and shockwave doesn't. We'll this is my drain, I like it, and here is why.
Hell...... I use drain even more than I use barrage.

Very nice video! I wish I could string together attacks as fast as that in JMS. The distance lag sucks too much to allow me to, though. If you can't tell from my videos, there's a few millisecond pause after each of my attacks. Once I go to Japan, though, and if I'm still playing Maple at that time, I should be able to do such speed. Anyways, I've temporarily quit my Viper, so I hope you the best of luck and I hope you do well in the future!

Nice video Flash Animation on how it Energy Charge works. (Click the blue arrow to advance)
Energy Charge table. "Damage +%" refers to the Body Attack, "Probability %" is for the Stance effect (no knock-back).
First seconds, me charging my Energy.

Looks to be an interesting 4th job for buccaneers. I just really want to get rid of my one weakness from my bowmaster: Really low HP. I also wanted to have fun doing it. This video showed me that 4th job will look great from here on out. Now all i have to do is get past 3rd =P
I think i just might go with shockwave tho. Still like using transform a lot and who knows if they'll transfer over the tespia changes. I still enjoy your intelligent discussion and interesting videos. Please continue to make an impact in the GMS pirate society =)

Nice video. Now I'm unsure of what to max. :3 First I was leaning towards shockwave, then drain, then shock again, and now I'm leaning towards drain again. Haha.

yah Gaurdians at my LvL are just to hard. It's really easy to die since I die in 2 hits. I can't kill them fast enough to keep from getting sealed. That one part of the video at the bottom left, where you actually see the seal sign above my head, I got sealed 3 times in a row there  .
I'll go to gaurdians when I can handle them like I handle skeles now

Noob question: What does body damage refer to? :f6:
On topic: Wow, Dragon Strike is faster than I thought.

It's the touch damage that monsters receive from you when you have the bubble.

The whole point of CGs is that they're incredibly mobby. Otherwise Skeles are better.
