Viper Union patch SP build.

I was only poking at the fact that you said ultimate. Which is completely wrong, because like i said, the %ages mean nothing relatively speaking.

[Arrg]

Hate to break it to you, but the point about DS being available all the time is bullpomegranate.
It takes maybe 5 seconds at maximum to charge energy now.
Less, with the passive from Energy Blast.
Energy Blast is much better than Dragon Strike.
It's got really good damage and has a range of 560%, or 160% more than an ultimate or DS. Energy Blast is to Dragon Strike as a Putin election is to a regular election. 140% motherpineappleer
Dragon Strike deserves 1 point so that you can charge energy.

You can't criticize him for something he posted before DS got nerfed and Energy Blast got buffed. Before then, DS > Blast, and then afterwards it swapped.

[Arrg]

Considering how much i use time leap at 20 minutes, 25 minutes isn't much of a difference, and it literally saves lives and feeds africa more often than not. When i have decCO/CO it becomes 20/15 minutes...and that's pretty f'ucking sweet. It can also let you use nautilus twice if you for some reason have a ton of mobs that won't die easily on the screen. (which charges energy, by the way)

Certainly a lot more useful than +5% base stats and - however many hundreds of millions you spent to pass the book only to find that it's a REALLY common skill anyway.

I didn't even put 1 point into nautilus until 157 after maxing blast. And that guy who said he'd put into MW probably already spent the hundreds of millions to have MW, so he would probably feel like he wasted money if he didn't put into it. The +5% is also boosted because your %str equips get even more str. The more base, the more your potential helps.

Anyway this thread is moot now because I already decided on it, and then a few days ago I got hacked so idgaf about maple anymore.

edit: pineapple, double post. I meant to edit the first post.

After reading these, I think I effed up my build really. I was in a rush when the patch came out and maxed DS. (I mean hey it was already max before so why not?). Also why are you guys suggesting guard crush so late? It helps so effin much bossing and monster park.

[OrangeGuy]

I'm currently level 175 in KMS, and my build right now is:

30 Vipersition
5 Double Lucky Dice
10 Counter Attack
30 Dragon Strike
30 Fist Enrage
20 Guard Crash
30 Energy Blast
10 Speed Infusion
1 Nautilus (for the lulz)
2 Time Leap (on the way to max)

I have to agree, charging Energy Charge after this patch takes way too little. I maxed Dragon Strike before I maxed Energy Blast, but I quickly maxed Energy Blast afterwards, because I was using it more often at level 1 than maxed DS. I recommend going max Energy Blast first as well.

Ultimates are 400% range in a square.
That's also the horizontal range of DS.
EB is 560% horizontal, which is better.
I don't see what the deal is.
@Arrg: Oh, I didn't realize he had posted it before EB was buffed.

Ah..... you're playing in KMS. Nice :)
Can I check with you what 4th job skills were changed to the new ones?
STF -> Guard Crush
Orb -> Energy Blast
Demo -> Nautilus
Barrage -> Fist Enrage
Snatch or Time Leap -> Vipersition ???

Thanks.

[OrangeGuy]

Snatch became Vipersition; Time Leap stayed the same.

So the passed time leap books are garbage?

[OrangeGuy]

Can be exchanged for any book of your choice

I know, I have a 158 viper in kms (albeit stripped now). I said PASSED BOOKS. Because I know my passed demo books went to nautilus and my passed STF book went to guard crush.

[OrangeGuy]

Not sure, but pretty sure they became.. nothing.

[Takebacker]

I don't see what the deal is.

Exactly.

Not sure, but pretty sure they became.. nothing.

As if time leap books were ever expensive or rare. People would care if it was something expensive like dragon strike books (the only expensive bucc book ever) but...nah.

[PirateIzzy]

Anyone know which corsair skills were changed to what?

[Moonlapse]

I better stock up on snatch books.

[Arrg]

I better stock up on snatch books.

Stock up on all books. Every single pirate/thief book you can find will be useful after the patch.

My passings for barrage, demo, orb, etc. are not going to reset, are they?

No, they convert over to the new skills that replace them.

Hehe that will leave me with maxed nautilus. I need to try it out once before I use an SP reset :p.

Well I don't know what TL or snatch changed into, but i know those are going to be fine. But if you stock up on every book possible, you'll have more to trade in for ones you may need later.
