I'm a level 160 Viper in Keyaki, JMS and I've been working on a guide based on what I've experienced so far. I'm not 100% accurate on all of this, but please bear with me. You may not agree with any part of my guide, but if you have any suggestions, please tell me and I'll think it over and possibly add it. Also, if you have any questions about Brawlers, Marauders or Buccaneers, please feel free to ask.

The basic Pirate:

The basic Pirate is level 10 with 20 DEX. This may come as a bit of a slap in the face for a future infighter, seeing how our DEX is usually the numeric value of our level or less, but it's actually a lot different than that. To become a pirate, go to Nautilus Port, enter the ship, go into the portal with the up arrow on top of the doorway, then go all of the way to the left and enter the far left portal. Once there, talk to Kyrin and she'll advance you as a Pirate.

Why you shouldn't max Dash:

People think that Infighters need max Dash in 1st job. Wrong. They don't get speed and power in 1st Job; Infighters are not Captain Falcon from SSBM. Infighters really only start to gain movement speed in 3rd job, where they get a haste effect from Transformation.

1. Most Infighters we've talked to chose to get 0 Dash, and this is why:
From 2nd job onward, an Infighter constantly alternates between CorkScrew Punch and Backspin Blow while training. That means you'll be changing directions almost constantly, since CorkScrew Punch attacks in front of you and Backspin attacks behind you. Infighters turn a lot to focus attacks in one direction . When you change directions, Dash automatically turns off. If you accidentally double-tap an arrow key while training, Dash would activate, waste a little of your MP, and then turn off right when you turn the other way.
2. The other risk of getting Dash as an Infighter is that accidental taps of the arrow key will cause you to run right into monsters and large mobs where you'll receive unnecessary touch dmg. Infighters already get a haste effect from Transformation in 3rd job, so until then Infighters can just get speed equips. Dash for Infighters, in all honesty, is useless, and sometimes dangerous. You should get 1 Double Fire instead of 1 Dash at the end of 1st Job, because in some instances, Dash can literally hurt you.
Granted, some will still want to use Dash for traveling purposes, which I (Takeback3r) agree with. Again, Dash is not recommended for Infighters, but if you really feel the pro's outweigh the con's, you can max it instead and leave Bullet Time at 11. We just wanted people to know that it can interrupt your fighting style. [i]Taken from TakeBack3r and KazootheBat's Misconception thread

Even at level 100, I'm still using seven different attacking skills to bring up my damage per minute output; as seen here : http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/TLoZ_Link/Maple0132.jpg

The Path of a Brawler:
Head back over to Nautilus Port and talk to Kyrin. She'll give you two options; One for Brawler and one for Gunslinger. Choose "Brawler" and then talk to Kyrin again. Click the very bottom option. She'll warp you to a map with small Octopi that you must kill. Here's the catch: You must use Flash Fist to kill them. Sommer Sault Kick will only "MISS" on them. Once you've collected all 15 items from those octopi, talk to Kyrin again. She'll warp you back to Nautilus Port (inside her room, of course). Talk to her once again and she'll advance you to Brawler. Congratulations!

Reasons for this build:

HP increase first is a given. You want to have the most HP as possible, so you max out HP Increase as early as possible. Next, you want to get Mastery to help out your damage per minute. Also, when maxing out Mastery, you want to get one in CorkScrew Punch and one in Backspin Blow for building mobs and stunning. All of you people who have played a 4th job Warrior with Rush know how much Rush can speed up your training. Also, while maxing Mastery, you want to put six points into booster to further increase your attacking speed, thus increasing your training speed. Then, after you've maxed out Mastery, you want to work on your attacking skills, so your training will be further sped up. Once you have maxed your attacking skills, you want to finish maxing Booster or start working on MP Recovery. MP recovery is great, because it saves money on MP potions. Who doesn't want an extra bit of cash in their pockets? Once you have maxed the above skills, you have one point left over, so stick that into Oak Barrel!

The Powerful Marauder

If you've made it to level 70 on another character, you know how this goes! Once you get to level 70, head off to El Nath. Once there, go to the Chief's Residence, where the third Job instructors are. Talk to Pedro and he'll tell you to head back to Kyrin in Nautilus Port to gather the Necklace of Strength. Head back to Kyrin and talk to her for your next assignment. She'll tell you that you must defeat her clone in order to past the test to prove yourself worthy of the Necklace of Strength. Go to the Cave of Evil Eye III and talk to the Door of Demension. This will transport you to another map where you head toward the battle with the fake Kyrin. Defeat the clone and collect the rubble piece that the fake Kyrin drops. Take that back to Kyrin and she'll reward you with the Necklace of Strength. Head back to Pedro in El Nath and give him the Necklace of Strength. He'll then tell you that you must pass one final test; the knowledge test. Head to Sharp Cliff II and go in the wooden door on the top right part of the map. Walk down and talk to the large stone to begin your knowledge test. Once you have obtained the Necklace of Wisdom, head back to Pedro and give him the necklace. Congratulations! You are now a Marauder!

Review:
Max Stun Mastery
Max Energy Charge

Max Transformation

11 Energy Drain

Reasons for this build:
Well, of course, you want to get Stun Mastery first if you want to see criticals. When you execute your Backspin Blow and Double Uppercut techniques, you stun monsters. While those monsters are stunned, you can attack once more and hit a critical. Note : the chance of hitting a critical for Buccaneers is 60%, which is higher than any other class, but the damage is added on, not multiplied like normal criticals. Next, you get one point in Transformation and work on Shock Wave. Shock Wave is a very useful skill when it comes to mobs. It is very powerful (even more so than CorkScrew Punch) and it's fun to use. Once you've finished maxing Stun Mastery, you want to work on Energy Charge. Energy Charge has a master level of 40, so it may take a while to max this one out. This skill gives you a percent chance of not being knocked back, similar to a 4th job warrior's Power Stance, +20 weapon attack, +200% Power Guard-type damage (note: you don't get reduced damage! You take 100% of the damage dealt by the monster, yet you reflect a portion of it back), and +20 accuracy and avoid ability. When Shock Wave is level 21, which is when it hits 6 monsters, you want to start working on another mob skill, Energy Buster. Energy Buster, at max level, is stronger than CorkScrew Punch and it is useful throughout third and fourth job. Once you've maxed out Energy Charge, continue working on Energy Buster and Shock Wave until both are maxed. Once you've maxed those, begin working on Transformation to lower the cool down time of the skill. Transformation, at max, will give you +40 Speed and +20 Jump, which is similar to haste. After all of the above have been maxed, put the rest of your points into Energy Drain to finish off your build.

Review:
Max Stun Mastery
Max Energy Charge
Max Energy Buster
Max Transformation
Max Shockwave
11 Energy Drain

Reasons for this build
In this build, just like the Transform build, I suggest maxing Stun Mastery first. Some people argue that Stun Mastery isn't that useful for third job, but I disagree. Any damage you can get will help you out immensely. It also depends where you train. Not everyone will train at Crimson Wood Keep, since not every version has it, so some people will need Stun Mastery to kill off enemies faster. Then, you will get Energy Charge and Energy Buster. This will help you train a lot faster. Any mob techniques will speed up your training. Also, since you're most likely going to train in a crowded area, Energy Charge will be charged very quick. Also, get Energy Drain for the ability to attack very fast and regenerate your HP very fast without using Mana or potions. After Energy Charge is maxed, finish off Energy Buster and Energy Drain. Then, once those are maxed, max out Shockwave and Transform. Shockwave is more important than Transform, so getting Transform to level 1 and then working on Shockwave would be a good idea, but go ahead and max out Transform with Shockwave for a faster cooldown time.

Max Energy Drain

Reasons for this build:
Well, there have been many disputes over whether or not Stun Mastery was good to start out with first, so I've made a build that starts it later on. Anyway, get four points into Energy Charge to get the +11 weapon attack. Then, get Energy Blast to level 21 (four targets) and then continue to max Energy Charge. While maxing Energy Charge, go ahead and pump points into Stun Mastery, since it'll start to become a bit handy. Then, work on Energy Drain, since that'll help you save a lot of potions, as you'll begin to face enemies that deal a large amount of damage to you per hit. As you're putting points into Energy Drain, go ahead and finish off Energy Blast. Finally, work on Transform and Shockwave to finish off your build. I've decided to go ahead and put it as two into Transfrom and one into Shockwave every level to speed up the cool down time of Transform.

11 Energy Drain

Reasons for this build:

Ever since the new skill updates arrived, going with Energy Charge and the other Energy skills is a priority. With the new ability to spam Energy Blast, it'll be much easier to take down your enemies with an Energy build than any other builds. Work on maxing out Energy Charge and add in some Energy Blast along with it so you can kill your enemies while also getting a nice +20 weapon attack boost. Once you've maxed Energy Charge, put some points into Energy Drain so you can start leeching HP from monsters as you deal damage, thus saving up on HP potions and saving money. 11 points into Drain is efficient enough for training. It gets the job done and still saves plenty of potions and money. Anything more is just extra attack, which you don't really need. In the late 90s and early 100s, you'll begin training at Himes and maps similar to it. Go ahead and start working on Shockwave and Transform, as they'll help you out greatly at those maps, since Shockwave has high attack and can hit 6 enemies in its path. Be careful, though! Shockwave doesn't have invulnerability frames, so you'll be taking damage! Once Shockwave and Transform are maxed, finish off your build by maxing Stun Mastery as you finish off your third job leveling and head into fourth job.

Reasonings for this build
After the skill updates that have been released and the skill updates that are soon to come out to all versions, the Energy skills will be the best skills in the third job skill inventory. Get Energy Charge to 4 points for the +11 weapon attack that it gives and then begin working on Energy Blast, but give a point to Energy Drain, as it will serve some use. Proceed to put points into Energy Charge while you work on maxing out Energy Blast, since Energy Charge takes up 40 skill points by itself. Energy Blast, after the first round of skill updates, has come to be insanely fast. You can spam it at about the same speed as Flast Fist! Not only that, but once the next round of skill updates are released in every version, Energy Blast will be able to stun, which will be incredible! Especially with Stun Mastery, since that'll be almost like constant criticals while training, which is what you really can't pull off very well at the moment. After you've max Energy Blast, continue to work toward maxing Energy Charge, as it'll serve much more use at max level, as it'll speed up the time it takes to charge, as well as increasing the benefits it gives. While you're at it, continue adding points to Energy Drain, as that'll help save a lot of HP potions if you use it correctly. Once you've maxed those, work on Stun Mastery, since as I said above, it will be very effective with training once the newer skill updates come out! After Stun Mastery, get max Transform, as you'll need to max it for Super Transform in fourth job. Finish off your build with 21 points into ShockWave or by putting those points into skills you may have wanted to max earlier in second job or whatever, like Oak Barrel, for instance.

I will NOT be writing a fourth job build! Fourth job is strictly dependant on what skill books you're able to afford, find, or whatever. However, I will state that your main attacking skills, which you will want to max first, will be Dragon Strike and Barrage. However, I will not put anything in stone, as there are many controversial arguements about what build is best, so I'll leave that up for the player to decide!

How to Get Your Fourth Job Skills!
Core Skills:
Once you advance to Buccaneer via Samuel, he'll give you four core skills and the Maple Hero skill book. The four core skills are Dragon Strike, Rapid Fists, Energy Orb and Wind Booster.

Super Transform:
Head over to Kyrin in Nautilus port. Once there, speak to her and she'll tell you to speak to her again. Chose the bottom most option and she'll warp you to a secret map. Once there, Super Kyrin will appear and begin attacking you. You must survive for two minutes to pass the test. Once two minutes have passed, a blue message will appear in your chat box that'll tell you to go back to Kyrin. Enter the portal on the right side of the map to go back to Kyrin. Talk to Kyrin and she'll give you Super Transform.

Demolition and Snatch:
Demolition and Snatch have similar quests. I'm not sure which is which, since they're both relatively the samething. Talk to Kyrin once you've recieved Super Transform and she'll send you on two quests. You must defeat 150 Blue and Red Dragon Turtles and collect 50 Skins and 50 Stone Hearts to complete the quests. Once you've finished, head back to Kyrin and she'll reward you with Demolition and Snatch!

Time Leap:
Head over to Rolonay to begin the quest. He'll tell you to go to Papulatus and defeat him. Head over to Papulatus with a party and take down Papulatus. Papulatus' second form will drop a silver key, which is needed for the quest. Pick it up and you'll get a "quest complete." Head back to Rolonay and turn in the quest. He'll then tell you to head back to Papulatus. Defeat Papulatus one more time. Then, once Papulatus is defeated, try entering the door to Papulatus one more time. It will send you into the Papulatus map, but there will be a Papulatus NPC that you will need to talk to a few times. Once you can no longer keep turning in quest to him, talk to him and select the bottom option. He'll send you to Nautilus Port for you to talk to Rolonay. Once you talk to Rolonay, he'll give you the skill book for Time Leap!

Very nice...i'm interested in the 3rd job build honestly. Is that the one you did? How'd that go? O_o I'm not a fan of building skills like that but if it's the optimal build then so be it. Lol.

I like how you put the japanese characters for each skill in there too. xD

Do you know how 4th job works yet or no? O_o

I saw Spadow and Daemarius talking about Spadow's build on Basil, so I decided to fuse the build that I started my 3rd job with with his build, which involves Tranform first. Spadow figured out that your damage per minute is higher if you get Transform and shockwave first, but then while you're waiting for Transform to cool down, you're left with just Screw Punch, Back Elbow, Straight and SomerSault Kick, so I added in Stun Master to make up for the lost damage per minute output for that time period.

As for fourth job, I haven't reached it yet, so I don't have anything to base a guide on. However, I do think that I'll do something along these lines:

Level 120: +1 Fists, +1 Wind Booster, +1 Dragon Strike
Level 121: +2 Fists, +1 Wind Booster

...and so on until Wind Booster is at the level where it adds +2 speed. Then I'll have to think of what to do after that. It's hard to tell what to do, so until I reach fourth job, I'll have to leave it off of the guide. =/

Haha. That's going to be tough. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to pull that off any time soon. In fact, I'll probably wait until Pirates are released in GMS, or until the Pirate Skill quests are translated into English, before I start collecting skills. I can do perfectly fine with just Fists, Dragon Strike and Wind Booster. However, if my Japanese speaking ability allows me to, I might be able to successfully complete a few skill quests. We'll have to wait and see, though.

2008-09-16, 06:23 PM

your 3rd job build is very nice... I may just do that as my build. My one question is:

Is energy buster really good? It seems to me that it's just another mob skill, but if i went with energy drain it would be like a "drain" for a sin (less pots maybe?).

I have no knowledge on the matter. Like a few have mentioned before: it would be helpful to include reasoning =P

JoeTang

I would say that a level 11 Energy Drain would be enough if you want to use it. It's not something you'd probably use often since you'd probably have to potion to survive any real damage taken after 8x. It'd be impractical to use Energy Drain every single time, and at level 11, it'd still heal 50.4% damage which is useful enough to save potions when you have the time. Level 20 only heals 72% damage. 22%, and you're not doing a significant amount more damage, unlike Energy Buster. With a range of 1000~2000, you'd heal, on average, 756HP with Level 11 1080 with Level 20. The damage difference is 675. The difference in Energy Buster is 810 damage per monster. It's like Chakra. Situations can call for it, but there's more useful things to do about with your time in most scenarios. Unlike an Assassin, Infighters cannot rely on some ungodly amount of Avoid and range to waste their time Draining without fear of being hit. Infighters have to practically stand on monsters 100% of the time, thus incurring touch damage very frequently. If you want to save on potions, the extra 22% damage isn't huge. You'll most likely be Draining a single stunned monster that you didn't manage to kill from a larger mob to finish it off anyways. It's not something you'd be using very often. Especially if you don't want to waste time or run the risk of dying because you depend on it to heal you.

I don't think that is a good idea. If you were to get Stun Mastery, you'd maximize your out-of-transform potential. Then you want to work on Energy Charge so you can deal more damage, since you can deal damage by merely coming close to the monster. Not only that, but it gives a boost of 20 weapon attack, boosting your leveling speed.

Hmm, so Energy Buster really is much more of a loss then energy drain? Will you still get a signifigant amount of HP with level 11 drain?

Hmm, so Energy Buster really is much more of a loss then energy drain? Will you still get a signifigant amount of HP with level 11 drain?

Taken from my guide:
The choice between the two seems obvious to me, but those of us that have been researching the Pirate class throughly have come at an inpass about this. There are those saying that maxed Energy Drain would be more beneficial than maxed Energy Buster, since absorbing more HP per hit could save your life. Another argument for maxed Energy Drain is that there are plenty of other hard hitting attacks a Buc could use instead of Energy Buster. But, Energy Drain, as far as we know, only hits one monster at a time, while Energy Buster can hit four. There are many pros to having Maxed Energy Buster as well. You are dishing out 420% damage over four enemies (thats 1680%). This also out damages Screw Punch (three enemies at 420% a piece = 1260%) Added to that, the only 3rd job skill that will out damage maxed Energy Buster is Shockwave, which hits six enemies at 700% a piece (a whopping 4200%) But remember that Shockwave is only accessible in Transform mode and that skill has a cooldown time (480 seconds), limiting use of Shockwave

Also, consider the following:
ED at Lvl 11: Damage 315% / 16% of damage converted to HP / 200% Range
ED at Lvl 20: Damage 360% / 20% of damage converted to HP / 200% Range

EB at Lvl 21: Damage 366% / 4 Enemies / 100% Range
EB at Lvl 30: Damage 420% / 4 Enemies / 100% Range

If you leave Energy Buster at Lvl 21, you are losing out on a total of 216% damage (54% per monster) compared to maxing it. Keeping Energy Drain at Lvl 11 only loses you 45% damage.

What happened to your guide that was here on SP? (If you have already explained everything, that's your business and not mine. You can choose not to answer me)

But according to one of the peoples above shows only a 300 HP difference in healing from level 11 and level 20 energy drain. It seems that this would not be significant in the amount of traing up close that an infighter would be doing.

I kinda like the Transform first build. It allows you to use an awesome mob skill early as well as increase damage gradually.

Does anyone have an energy type first build they wanna post on SP? xD

(of course, this is speculation as i have no way of experienceing any of this first hand until Pirates come out x__x)

why do you max screw punch before double upper?

screw punch is charge up and basically rush right? so wouldnt it be better to have double upper to kill the monsters instead of agroing a bunch with screw punch? lv 1 screw punch has the same range as maxed correct? if the idea is to make mobs and move faster i think lv 1 is good enough.

Link

2008-09-18, 02:22 PM

When mobbing, which at those levels, you'll be in maps where spawn is great (most likely), so Screw Punch would deal a higher damage per minute than Double Upper. If you focus more on single targets at low levels, you won't get anywhere fast.

so do you spam uncharged screw punch? charge it while taking dmg? or mob with it then kill using the kick thing? how do you train during second job?

also sins and archers do single targets and they have no problem whatsoever during second job.

The difference is that double upper has a 2 second delay between attacks. :X

The training method from what i know is screw punch -> backspin blow -> SSkick.

Training metod for mobbing and do not waste HP Pots is:
Screw Punch>>>Somersault Kick. Repeat.

Of course, uncharged SP so you won't get hit and you can have the 2 Seconds godmode, then mob with Somersault kick, and repeat.

If you're talking about mob attacking for training wise, that's not very effective. If you're talking about gathering mobs, however, then you have a completely different situation.

For attacking mobs, it's best that you stun the enemy and then proceed with another attack.

Why would you leave Energy Drain at Lv. 11? Energy Drain is very useful when your energy is charged up. Besides once you have Lv. 40 Energy Charge your energy will charge up very quick, and i don't see a point in maxed Energy Buster.

Plus, Energy Drain damages 1 monster but also drains the HP of that monster.

My advice: Max Energy Drain and leave Energy Buster at Lv. 21. Energy Buster at Lv. 21 is Damage 366% and hits 4 enemies. (Lv. 20 only 3 enemies).
In 4th job there is a similiar Energy Buster, it adds more % in damage and also hits more enemies and i'm talking about Energy Orb.

Why do you put Skill Points into Energy Drain at such a late stage? It's recommended to max Energy Drain right after you've maxed Energy Charge, Energy Buster can wait for a while, since you have other main skills to attack with.

I see no real use in Energy Drain. Sure, it may take away HP from a monster, similar to Drain, the Assassin skill, but when will you actually use it? You won't waste your time on a monster that you can just one hit KO anyways for a little bit more HP. That would be like a Crusader using Panic on a monster with less than 10% HP left. When you're training full-force, you're never going to remember, "Oh, I should cast Energy Drain so I can get more HP." In fact, I don't even use MP Recovery that much. Maybe I should be, but when training at high-traffic maps, such as Himes, you don't have the time to stop and cast that skill. It's a waste of time and effort, just like Dash.

Dude. Energy Drain doesn't work like that.

Once your energy is charged up fully, you get a bubble. The energy drain is passive in that bubble, whenever a monster hits you, energy drain takes effect and does damage + at max heals you 20% worth of the damage you took.

This thing would be amazing at your so called high-traffic maps, such as Himes. *giggle*

I didn't post here so you can beat a dead horse. That was in the past and it was a very stupid incident. Just let it go...

Anyways... What you heard was probably very outdated. If you watch videos where Buccaneers in Tespia use Drain, or the video that shows the level 180 Viper and the level 200 Captain, you'll see that they activate the skill in order to use it. The thing that comes with Energy Charge, as stated above, is the power guard effect. When a monster comes in vicinity of the bubble, it hits the monster without the monster touching you. It's confusing from a spectators stand point, but if you ever get to the point where you get Energy Charge (that's if you're an Infighter), everything will be cleared up.

I am a Gunslinger so I'll ever get Energy Charge. har. But meh, it seems I guess that Insoya must be outdated since it says that Energy drain adds to the power guard effect of the bubble by increasing damage and having a % chance to heal a %. Either that was an old testing stage or I translated it incorrectly.

I love the past, by the way. It's nice and warm back here.

I am still confused... so its not good to get dash? the speed boost is NOT good? i dont get why its so bad as long as you master when to double tap and when not to...

Dash would really help when you're soloing at a big map like at time temple or something. Someone might find the double tapping annoying, but I myself find it a challenge to play with and that adds to the general enjoyment of the game. Hell, I don't even use double tapping, I have dash set on my X key and I manually activate it a lot.

You can activate dash either putting it on a hotkey or double tapping.
When you're using it, your speed increases and you can still control your character normally.
When you attack, get attacked, or change directions, the dash cancels.

It doesn't stop your character when you activate it(Unlike skills such as booster which stops your character and makes it "breathe" for a short bit), it takes less than a second to cast, and it can be used while jumping as well.

Indeed, Energy Drain is similar to Drain, have you ever seen a Hermit/Night Lord not using Drain at high-traffic maps such as Himes?

Energy Drain attacks fast and drains HP, like Drain but the little disadvantage of this is that it attacks only one monster.

So what if you waste your time using Energy Drain if it actually helps? If you have Lv. 40 Energy Charge (wich lasts for 50 seconds) then it won't take too long to charge up your energy and use it for Energy Buster or for other reasons. My level Energy Drain is only 1, but when monsters of 500/600 touch damage hit me I'll just use my Lv. 1 Energy Drain, since i rely on it and i hit around 2k-3.8k maximum with Lv. 1 and it replenishes my HP fast!

Maxed Dash is actually useful for Gunslingers/Valkyries/Captains, since there there is no point in having maxed Straight for them. And a short speed boost doesn't hurt, does it?
You don't have to stop to cast MP Recovery, you can just walk and use it, besides with the 2 seconds of invisibility of Screw Punch, i'm sure you can cast MP Recovery, but that all depends on you. I use MP Recovery every time, and i must admit..it's useful for me.

@0mgP1r4tes aka xDae: You know what's useless IMO? Maxing Energy Buster (Level 30: Damage 420% / 4 Enemies / 100% Range) while Lv. 30 Energy Orb (Level 30: Damage 900% / 6 Enemies / 200% range) has nearly double the % and range when it's maxed.

Yes, definitely! Like i previously said; Lv. 21 Energy Buster is 366% damage and hits 4 enemies, if you start more adding in it, it only adds more % in damage. Level 20 Energy Drain is 360% in damage and 20% of damage converted to HP, this might be low but like i said, Energy Drain is fast.

Energy Buster only adds damage while Energy Drain has 2 advantages: it attacks 1 monster fast but and it also replenishes your HP.

If you have Lv. 40 Energy Charge (wich lasts for 50 seconds) then it won't take too long to charge up your energy and use it for Energy Buster or for other reasons. My level Energy Drain is only 1, but when monsters of 500/600 touch damage hit me I'll just use my Lv. 1 Energy Drain, since i rely on it and i hit around 2k-3.8k maximum with Lv. 1 and it replenishes my HP fast!

Maxed Dash is actually useful for Gunslingers/Valkyries/Captains, since there there is no point in having maxed Straight for them. And a short speed boost doesn't hurt, does it?
You don't have to stop to cast MP Recovery, you can just walk and use it, besides with the 2 seconds of invisibility of Screw Punch, i'm sure you can cast MP Recovery, but that all depends on you. I use MP Recovery every time, and i must admit..it's useful for me.

@0mgP1r4tes aka xDae: You know what's useless IMO? Maxing Energy Buster (Level 30: Damage 420% / 4 Enemies / 100% Range) while Lv. 30 Energy Orb (Level 30: Damage 900% / 6 Enemies / 200% range) has nearly double the % and range when it's maxed.

Plus, I've seen much worse posts of you. Don't make an ass out of yourself.
Once you start training on mobs that 2hko you, you cant rely on Drain. Anything could happen: You can be too close and punch and not throw a star. Boom you are dead. You could not have noticed you didnt have enough MP. Boom you are dead. You could hit a monster that has very little HP left, thus not absorbing enough to survive another hit. Boom you are dead

Drain =/= god mode

And he was calling someone an idiot, when he himself had everything wrong. Id say thats pretty bad

Vipers don't get 2hko'd. They have a good amount of hp, enough to take around 4 hits from most of the high level monsters they'll be training on. Drain seems pretty reliable to me.

They can be. If a level 130 Viper were to train on monsters, such as skelegons, which hit more than 3k damage, then they're very easily killed. Remember, we don't have nearly as much HP as Warriors. We have around 1.5 - 2k less HP.

That's still enough to take 3 hits without dying, isn't it? I thought warriors had over 10k HP by the time Skelegons are good training.

No. I tend to see a lot of Vipers going to Skelegons in the late 120s to early 130s, which at that time, they'll just barely have 7k hp.

Well, you can always work on Demolition and Wind Booster at the same time. Remember: You only need to get Wind Booster to level 11, which pretty much triples the increased speed of Booster. It's VERY good for bossing and will probably be highly demanded, along with Time Leap. My build in JMS, since I can't get Fists 20, is going to be (and what I've done so far) :

Level 120 : +1 Fists, +1 Wind Booster, +1 Dragon Strike
Level 121 : +1 Fists, +2 Wind Booster
Level 122 : +2 Wind Booster, +1 Time Leap (where I am right now)
Level 123 : +3 Wind Booster
Level 124 : +3 Wind Booster (level 11)
Level 125 : +3 Dragon Strike
etc.

I may change my mind and put some points into Super Transform and the rest of the skills that go with it, but I'll probably make up my mind by then.

O.o you skill build is really different from the one i have on my Word Prof.
I actually maxed Energy Charge first :f6: then maxed Stun but your build seems more probable....
Mines starts like:
70: Energy Charge +1
71: Energy Charge +3 (4) so i can get the atk boost :cool:
72: Energy Charge +2 (6) then Sun +1
I get stun to level 10 then max Energy Charge...
Is that smart?

No, not really. There's no real need to get Energy Charge so soon. Level 6 Energy Charge would give what? A 3 to 4 attack boost? It's better to get Stun Mastery first to deal the highest damage per minute.

Level 10 Stun Mastery: Probability 40% Damage 30%
Level 6 Energy Charge: Duration 33 seconds Evasion +3 ACC +3 90% Charge Rate Damage +30% Attack +11 Probability 16%

that 30% + 30% = 60% same as stun aint it? :f6:

kingdj333

2008-10-22, 02:20 PM

To add on to what Daemarius said, it takes a LONG time to fully charge Energy Charge at lower levels. By the time you have that charged and you get the 33 second +11 weapon attack (which doesn't stack with attack potions, by the way), you could have delt a higher damage per minute ratio.

Yeah... How long does it take exactly? And if the 11 atk is better then that stun when its active wont it out dmg the stun a.k.a. more DPM? :f6:
Also If stun mastery is good why in certain guild its says get its like after Energy Charge? Aha! :cool:
(hopes to win this arguement)

2008-10-22, 06:15 PM

@TakeBacker : At that level, Energy Charge will take about 3 to 5 minutes to charge, depending on what you're killing.

@ZachAttack : Yes, your DEX should be your level or lower.

@Shahak : Feel free to do so if you wish. As long as you're not stealing information, it's fine with me.

@kingdj333 : That person who wrote that build obviously has no idea what they're talking about. If you get Energy Charge first, it'll be a complete waste of SP. It's like getting Shout before getting Combo for a Crusader. It takes too long to charge fully at those levels and it only lasts for half a minute. Stun can be activated every time you use Back Elbow and Double Upper, which gives you a chance to deal a critical hit. The damage dealt with stun in the time it takes to charge Energy Charge is greater than the damage you'd deal with only +11 weapon attack for 33 seconds. If you wanted that weapon attack boost, it's better to use a Warrior Elixer from New Leaf City, which is +12 weapon attack for 8 minutes.

I would assume the stronger you are and the more damage you dish out, the faster the bar charges. That being said, no Buc will charge at the same rate as another Buc.

Crits are ALWAYS better than +atk from Energy Charge. And like Justin said, buy Warrior Elixirs

Rei

2008-11-04, 07:44 AM

Your fourth job build starts off strong, but I doubt anyone would follow it into the later levels.
I'm pretty sure nobody will wait until 18x to max Maple Warrior, although most people do have it, it's easy/cheap to acquire the book now and I personally hate having to rely on other people for something like MW20.

If you go to Horntail often (which I understand probably isn't the case in JMS), you'd want maxed Time Leap a lot earlier than what you have.

Personally, I just don't like Energy Orb much at all, it is nice that you can use it both untransformed and transformed, but the fact that the damage halves just turns me away from it. If I wanna mob, I'll just use Dragon Strike/Energy Buster/Shockwave [I could use the 3rd job Transform and just Shockwave without it affecting the cooldown for SuperTransformation, right?].

Although Snatch does stun, and in turn activates Stun Mastery in the SuperTransformed state, I think any trainable mob would die in one Demolition regardless of hitting criticals or not. Demolition has a nice range itself, and being in the state gives you Haste. Also, I don't see why you'd go any further than 25 Snatch, as that's when it hits 6 monsters. Any higher just increases the damage. I could see myself getting something like 19 Snatch [5 monsters] or something, though it is still pretty rare to catch a mob of 5. I barely get 4 when I use Dragon's Breath on my Marksman.

I know yours is just a possible skill build, and your reasoning for it is logical. Just putting in a few of my thoughts on it. =]

Well I didn't really need my opinions answered, but thanks.

As for Horntail, extra Ressurection's are always helpful. The skill doesn't just help Ress, it can help Infinity, Snipe, Heaven's Hammer [lolpaladin<3], Holy Shield, and other Buccaneer's SuperTransform [and yourself].

And 3-target Snatch, [Lv7] does sound pretty good, since they all have the same range and 100% stuns at every level.

It's mostly for res and smoke shell for other classes, nothing else. Infinity, go for it. Snipe, unless it's level 1 it's not going to help. Lol @ heaven's hammer.

It's nice, but they won't be recruited because they can use those skills more but because they can shell and res more.

Sivrat

2008-11-05, 06:59 PM

My alliance has a run on its own, and several people in it lead seperate runs. But what i was saying is i was hoping to jump into a run at 12x, and firgured some time leap would be an incentive for them to take me, since I wont be doing much damage, i want to feel useful at least, you know?

On top of that, by the logic that Time Leap isnt necessary, neither is Rez, really. If no one died and run goes completely smoothly, you dont need rez right?

But everyone still WANTS rez incase something happens, because stuff is known to happen. I think extra Time Leap might help some, but i guess it would be about balance.

Kaasoljoyyx

2008-11-05, 07:04 PM

Res really only happens during tail/legs + when dispel happens. Other than that, it's usually rare. They aren't really gonna need time leap unless a particular run is low on bishops/res, which rarely happens. I don't think any current HT squads ever run out of res during their runs so it's not essential to bring one. Besides at 12x, it would prolly be better to bring another bishop or ranged as your damage would be considerably low and idk if you can live. I think you would be able to though.

I wouldn't. At least not past the Fist/Dragon Strike.
In fourth job, you can't just try to max one skill at a time, your points will have to be all over the place. Not just because of book availability, but because levels are so much harder to gain, you need to find a stopping point of one skill, to work on another, and another, and over again.

ShiKage does seem to prioritize the untransformed Pirate more than the transformed one (which is a good thing, it's smart). But I'd imagine that everyone would want to be in their Transformed state as much as they can, dealing as much damage as possible in that state.
As for the rest of his build, I gave my criticism earlier. :x

ShiKage you are one of the previous xPlicit Story GM's that stole money from us along with jimmy and mateo is still pissed at you.

Too bad it was Mateo and Allen who were the thieves. They were getting Jimmy to buy a new $900 dedicated server and then they were going to ban him the day they got the server set up on the dedicated. Jimmy and Andy countered their plan by locking them out of the dedicated, only stealing the server files. Please don't try talking crap about something you have no idea about. >_>

As for the fourth job build: It's a build I set up for myself on JMS. The economy is completely out of wack (10 attack WG for 1 bil, Maple Hero 20 for 2bil [or higher]) and certain skill books are a LOT harder to get than most other skill books (Rapid Fists 20 is 2 billion meru). As I said in the guide, it's merely a blueprint. You can change whatever you want when you build your own character.

Its Pot Smart.

If you have a Warrior Elixir active (gives +12 attack) and Energy Charge activates and only gives +11 attack (Levels 4 to 7), then you keep the attack bonus from the Warrior Elixir, and not Energy Charge. But, if Energy Charge activates and gives more attack than a current pot, the pot wont disappear. Instead while Energy Charge is active, its +attack overrides the +attack from the pot. Once Energy Charge runs out of time, the +attack from the pot comes back into play. Why they didnt do this with the Beholder for Dragon Knights is beyond me.... but hey its Nexon

I talked with Spadow on IRC, and he tested his KMS pirate for the Energy Charge watt effect. This is what he said:

- If you use an 8 att potion first -> +8 watt
- If Energy Charge gets activated -> +20 watt
- If Energy Charge ends it falls back to the potion -> +8 watt

So I guess this is the same thing that would happen when you're using Onyx Apples in gMS... Unless Nexon America fixed it...

- If you use an Onyx Apple first -> +100 watt
- If Energy Charge gets activated -> +20 watt (-80 watt NERF...lol?)
- If Energy Charge ends it falls back to the Onyx Apple -> +100 watt

If this is really the way Buccaneers will work in gMS, then the class fails totally...

Unless Nexon America has already seen this and fixed it somehow... :o

@Above post : What's in the bold is incorrect. If you're using an Onyx Apple and Energy Charge's effects activate, it doesn't kill the attack of the previous attack boost. If you're using a potion with +100 weapon attack and Energy Charge is fully charged, it'll STAY at +100 weapon attack. It does NOT change. If Spadow says it is through KMS, then something is seriously wrong with the way KMS works, because it never happens in JMS.

I think you're misunderstanding what I said; Devil's taking the info Spadow provided (using a 8 attack pot with 20 attack Energy Charge) and just replacing the attack pot using Global's Onyx Apples (resulting in his numbers with the -80 attack nerf.)

All I've said is how I think he arrived at those numbers, and what I think he did wrong. I don't know how I implied at all that JMS had Apples...

I forget the reason why, but the JMS economy is really bad. Scrolls cost ridiculous amounts [good ones are all 100m+ easy] and it's not that hard to get max mesos.

I knew your point, I was just stating that JMS doesn't have apples in the same sense that KMS doesn't. However, I did prove the point of the fact that you do not lose attack when Energy Charge is activated with 25 attack event potions that JMS had.

So does that mean it's kinda like winner take all, in a sense?

Like, if your energy charge has the greater attack, you'd go with it, but if the pot does, you'd go with the pot?

Don't know the reasons, just that's what it is.

Some guys packet hacked the bronze meru bag (cash shop) and sent packets to make the bag give 70m+ meru instead of the usual 600k every time they opened one.
The bronze bags cost a measly 100 points (roughly $1.20?) and since they could basically do that to any bag, the bronze would be the best candidate. (Silver being 170 and Gold being 240)

The end result was them constantly having hundreds upon hundreds of characters spread throughout the servers with max money and thus proceeding to wreak havoc.

The packet exploit was eventually fixed, but the hacked money had already taken its toll on the market.

And that's the story of how jMS got royally screwed.

They even had events to (I assume) try and combat the overflowing wealth, such as an event where you could "purchase" a seed from the Maple Admin NPC that explodes into numerous items for 200m.

Ok having hit 3rd job, I'm having a hard time deciding what to do. Stun Mastery doesn't seem that good atm because I kill the mobs before they even get the chance to be stunned. It would take longer for me to kill them if I used my skills in such a way that I could stun them just so I can do crit. I have noticed others have gone with the max out Transformation and Shockwave first build. What would be the best way for me to go about it?

DrRusty

2008-11-20, 06:47 AM

Stun mastery is actually helpin me quite a bit since I've been trainin at wolf spiders. They have alot more HP than something like voodoo/hoodoo so that extra crit damage helps quite a bit.

My build for 3rd job build is

1 transform 1 shockwave
max stun mastery
max energy charge
1 transform 2 shockwave per lvl til maxed

I might max out energy blast before transform/shockwave. I haven't decided yet. Honestly I don't like 3rd job transform since you're so limited in attacks.

Yes it will. However, it won't really replace energy buster until the skill is around lvl... 13 when it can hit 4 enemies. And you won't be putting points into energy buster until you're 15x-16x. It's an awfully long time to go without an energy using, non-transform skill.

Two things.

1) People are saying it's beneficial to get 1 screw punch and 1 backspin blow before you get HPimp as you only lose 2x HP total and your training ability drastically goes up. What do you think about it?

2) Does the acc boost from energy charge stack with bless/sniper pills?

I think it's stupid to screw around with your HP. Sure it's a small amount, but you'll still need as much as possible later on. Say you have 3990 HP at level 8x. You decide to go to Papulatus and you get hit by a Low Dark Star which does 4k damage to you. You're dead because you decide to screw around with your HP.

No, it doesn't stack with pills or bless.

Well, I'm 109, and I already regret doing transform/shockwave after energy charge, instead of energy blast. Energy charge can be charged relatively quickly if done right, stun mastery is very helpful for extra damage, and you simply won't be transformed nearly enough to make it worth that build. Max transform is still transformed only 25% of the time. The 25% of the time that you are transformed is ok (not too amazing sadly), but the 75% when you're a 2nd job brawler in 3rd job areas until 90ish (when you'd have 10 points of something else, not much still) really hurts.

DrRusty

2008-12-01, 08:38 PM

I regretted getting any transform/shockwave at all early one. The points are much better used in energy charge/energy blast. 3rd job transform SUCKS BAWLS.

Does anyone have a video of someone using energy drain? I'm trying to make a comparison of energy drain vs energy blast. How long is the cooldown between attacks? I guess I should put a point into it and try it out or something. That 20% of damage to hp is enough to fully heal you easily.

He means that from 9 to 10, it only increases duration not % effect. Same with 19-20, so there's no real point in putting those points in MW when you can put it in some other skill.

It is, unless you are funded, if not it is not recommended to go for xform/sw build 1st. Reason is although SW damage output is high, you will be constantly recieving damage, which requires you to pot. However, this might change once we have the latest KMS updates.

I maxed Charge, blast and drain before even putting 1 into stun mastery and it worked well for me.
*consider that I've trained at typhons since 90 so that skill is useless or nearly useless here.
I'm doing stun mastery now ( like lvl 13 now)

I'm actually planning on doing that, any idea how that build should go? Like what should I have charge up to before I start putting points into drain/buster and which one I should do first?

Since typhons hit pretty low compared to say himes, I would say Blast when you have Charge at ~10, and do a switching of 1/2 and 2/1 on the skills. If you think youll go to another training area before 120, then start adding drain when you have Charge and Buster at around 30/20, otherwise you can add 5~10 points to Drain and have the switching be with Drain and Blast til it is at a lvl you want to leave it at for the time being. At 106, I found Drain 8 to be very effective for training/killing HH in around 10 mins.

Sn1perJohnE

2009-06-15, 11:11 PM

hmmm, well, since you have to get to ~90-95 to train effectively at Typhons, you could either go with Transform/Shockwave early into your 70s, maybe 5~10 points into transform at least from 70 to 80, while adding points into Stun Mastery, Charge, and Blast. Theres 31 points from 70 to 80, and it takes 20 points to max transform and stun mastery. So I would say 5 into transform, 10 into mastery (useful in places such as windraiders where it takes a few hits), and 8/8 into charge and blast.

From 80 to 90, you could do somewhat the same thing, getting mastery to 20 earlier, and then transform to 10, and charge and blast to 15 and 16, or 16 and 15. From there, add into both charge and blast until you are able to train at Typhons well. Id suggest more blast in order to fully optimize on the the mobbing of it.

Question. Is this all taken from TakeBack3r, or is this really, really, really spookily similar?

By the way, if you plan to max drain and leave SW at 21 for 3rd job, you might as well use 9 points from SW to finish off your MP recovery. I love using next to no MP pots while training as a buccaneer. More room for Honsters :f2: That's what I did, but I maxed MP recovery at the end of 2nd, and finished off barrel in 3rd. I'd suggest the opposite, of course, because MP recovery only becomes super useful once you get to mid 9x, start training on Himes and Typhs, and get 11+ drain. Then it's smex, but when you're paying the same amount to recover your MP as your HP, there's little purpose.
