Post-Big Bang Viper/Buccaneer Build

Name one difficult thing about playing a Buccaneer.

Staying invincible for longer than a few minutes. Took me a long time to be able to do that. Longer than learning how to do anything else on other classes, that's for sure.

Something that isn't necessarily difficult about playing a buccaneer but it's only really possible on a buccaneer would be beating dojo. With the taking damage method of charging the bar the only class that can beat dojo is one that can heal both MP and HP and avoid attacks that would otherwise kill you.

Hell, playing a Corsair is harder. What's the difference between a jumping Dragon Strike different than a jumping Strafe?

Nothing really. What's the difference between jumping dragon strike and jumping dragon strike with CSB to achieve aggro? Everything.

I find F/P mages much more interesting to play than Buccaneers and there's no need to bring that into the discussion at all.

Hypocrite. Kindly shut the f'uck up if you don't want your interests to be bashed as you've done to mine.

Shadower (Not too much harder, but they're definitely more involved than a Viper is now)
Any bowman (low avoid, low HP)
Maybe even captains?

Shadower would be the only comparable class imo. As for being more involved than a bucc, i disagree. They are definetly more involved than they were previously though, that's for sure.
Bowmen not really. Both of those claims are less valid after BB since they have 20% avoid rate and low HP isn't a problem for any class now.
Captains...nah. I mean, demounting/using battleship USED to be pretty hard to maintain but after like a million durability upgrades it isn't hard at all anymore.
