Brawlers and Maruaders.

Well, few days ago I made a brawler. He is currently lvl 54 and apparently, you're not supposed to add any to Double Uppercut, which I didn't know about and maxed it. Is this going to be a problem? This would mean I won't have the Barrel or the HP to MP skills. My friend told me something about not adding Shockwave at 3rd job and add the points into the Barrel and Hp to MP skills but I didn't really understand him. Please and thank you.

EDIT: Does Buccs/Maruaders out there actually use HP to MP or Barrel? My guesses are, I don't think those will actually be useful in training and what not.
EDIT2: Is it better to max out Barrel and HP to MP instead of Shockwave? Or is it better to only max out HP to MP and add 10 points into Shockwave, leaving Barrel at 0.

Max everything in 2nd and 3rd job except transform. Even then, you will have 2 extra points.

Apparently no one uses DU though I think it's a great move. To compensate for this, I didn't put any in barrel and left CSB at 18. A fair amount of points into double uppercut. Because seriously. It's awesome!

[quote=eonpoop]Energy charge for the first point.
for the build, oh this was so long ago. I believe it was put charge until you're comfortable. And then blast?[/quote]

Alright thank you very much. I got all the answer I need for now. I might come back to this thread when I got more questions.

Alright thank you guys for helping me out. Hopefully my Brawler will become a successful Maruader/Bucc currently at lvl 55.

1 last question. What skill should I add the point into when I hit Maruader? Also, what are you supposed to max out first?

Doesn't transform give wep atk now? I'd say thats not worthless, lol

@eonpoop: Hmm... So pot saveing in 4th job, or faster training in 3rd job. Shockwave can only be used durring Transformation correct? So if my build is to max Transformation last, wouldn't that be a worthless skill since 4th job wouldn't be that far?

Double UpperCut is definitely worth maxing. It's nearly spammable post BigBang. Take points out of LOLwave in 3rd and use it to max mp recovery in second job.

Heres what to do DONT MAX shockwave Max all skills but dash and double fire and shockwave...

Shockwave is the most useless skill ever in my opinion, it may have gotten better post BB, but I wouldn't know because I don't use it... ever.
Barrel and Mp recov aren't used very often, but I actually use them once in a while, unlike shockwave. DU is also better and more used then shockwave. So yes, max DU, but maybe put 1 point into shockwave for showing off or something, but then use all other points to max skills in the brawler job.

[quote=eonpoop]@carloslam911
When i was in 3rd job, no trainable maps except gallopera had a use for shockwave.
MP Recovery, well before it was nerfed, gave more mp than it does now. However, it still heals mp nonetheless.
Oak Barrel, with thise wonderful new avoid system, i get hit more than before. So it save pots on the way to zak, ht, etc.[/quote]

So Barrel and HP to MP is useful at all times for saving pot money compared to Shockwave, which is only useable at a flat surface correct? Sorry for takeing a while to get it through my head. I'm not really smart as you guys can see lol.

@BBD: So since now its only an atk boost, its pretty much same thing as using an attack pot. Hmmm... I guess I'll max that last also.

@Kaiyaki: I barely ever go for mp pots, so for me it would be useless. And you are correct, it isn't really useless, but I found that for me, even after big bang, it wasn't something I needed. I guess it would help, seeing as it would create space in my inventory, but I just feel that I would get too used to it. I maxed my DU though, and it is nice.

[quote=Ghetto415]Sounds like a good build. I'm on the same track as you for now. But is it reccomended to max transformation last? Cause the biggest reason I decided to make Maruader/Bucc was for the transformation lol.[/quote]

Before BB I loved transform because of the speed boost and the jump boost.
Now it is just an Atk powerboost.

The problem is that, I still have stew left over the halloween event. So I use that making my transform useless.

Even then, if you use normal warrior pots (+12atk) from NLC all you are losting is 8atk. I don't see this as a big deal since when training we are already having an advantage thanks to BB (2 hits ko or less).

Of course when it is maxed (close to 4th job), 20atk for almost the whole time training will be amazing.
Trans + Dragon move = Love

This Is What I Went With For 2nd /3rd Job:

[b]2nd Job[/b]
HP Boost - Maxed
Critical Punch - Maxed
Knuckler Mastery - Maxed
BackSpinB(l)ow - Maxed
Double Uppercut - Maxed, Helpful For Stunning Purposes As Well As Mini Boss Hunting When You Arent 4th Job Yet.
Corkscrew B(l)ow - Maxed
MP Recovery - 0, Pretty Useful For Some However I Dont Use Many MP Pots During 4th Job.
Knuckler Booster - Maxed
Oak Barrel - Maxed - Helpful In Certain Situations During 4th Job.

[b]3rd Job[/b]
Stun Mastery - Maxed
Energy Charge - Maxed
Brawling Mastery - Maxed, Good Since You'll Be Using Your 2nd Job Moves Include Double Alot During 3rd Job.
Energy Blast - Maxed, Because Of This Shockwave Is No Longer Needed.
Energy Drain - Maxed, Useful For Mini Bosses (Manon/BF/Etc).
Transformation - Maxed, Needs To Be Maxed For Super Transformation At 4th Job.
Shockwave - 0 - 10, Skill Is Pretty Useless Not To Mention Slow, Blast Is Better. Even BackSpinB(l)ow Is Better.
Roll Of The Dice - Maxed.

Thats What I Have On My Bucc And My Newly Made Marauder. My Shockwave Is Lvl 0.

I"m not maxing shockwave in my opinion it sucks. I maxed hp to mp and use it all the time. I rarely need mp pots. And uppercut is so useless for training that I did barrel instead. I'll get barrage at 120 anyways and that's much better.

[quote=BBD]Why not max Double Upercut O_________o
I maxed mine O____________o

Yes I used SP reset but when putting the SP back into the book I put it in this order since I saw it most important. (The build I would have picked if I was leveling.)

[b]My SP build[/b]

[b]First Job[/b]
Sommersault Kick Maxed
Flash Fist Maxed
Bullet Time Maxed
Double Shot 1
Dash 0

[b]Second Job[/b]
HP Boost Maxed
Knuckle Mastery Maxed
Booster Maxed
Critical Punch Maxed
Corkscrew Maxed
Backspin Maxed
Double Uppercut Maxed
Oak Barrel 1 *note I will max this at 3rd job*
MP 0

[b]Third Job[/b] (energy build)
Energy Charge Maxed
Energy Blast Maxed
Drain Maxed
Dice Maxed
Brawling Mastery Maxed
Stun Mastery Maxing <--- at the moment I am doing this.
Transformation Maxing Last (since it does nothing! Woopdy do for 20atk, but I have potions that do that (or better)!)
Shockwave 1 (for showoff)
Rest of the points to Oak and MP. If still more than Double Shot (1st job)

[b]Summary[/b]
All my points I wanted maxed at 2nd job is maxed, everything in 3rd job but shockwave is maxed and that is what I want.
Perfect build for me, I like it.[/quote]

[quote=nietsrevliS]oh yea no doubt its true that dragon stirke will replace your shockwave attack
but leveling a sin [ dont flame me xD ] im kinda a damage person i like seeing high Yellow/orange/pink numbers and thats what max shockwave did for me so when i see my level 100 marauder doing 20k on a shock wave compared to a blast shot doing 12 i feel better xD[/quote]

Ahhh I see. Well, I guess it also depends on how far you're planing to get. I'm planing to get to atleast lvl 130 just like my Shadower. Hopefully around lvl 140-150 after getting my Shadower to that lvl.

What I did was max all 2nd job skills BUT mp recovery(1) and double uppercut(10)
3rd job i did max energy charge max energy blast max brawling mastery max lucky dice and the last 3 are your choice i did trans then drain then stun after you max DU and Mp recovery/oak barrel rest to shockwave

You don't need shockwave. Therefore you add points to double uppercut in late 3rd job. Shockwave is replaced by dragon strike at 120.

[quote=nietsrevliS]its up to you and your playing style to be perfectly honest
my marauder build was a max shock wave and transform [actually useful when training at himes] but beside the point
you put the points in what you want
they are just " the conformed build " or standard build that every chooses[/quote]

Hmmm... I guess your right. But according to the guides I read, Shockwave becomes completely useless due to Dragon Strike being stronger.
So basically, its either max Shockwave or HP to MP and Barrel.

DU is amazing IMO
they lowered the cooldown for it and its becoming really useful in training especially with stun mastery
this is my build:
1st job
Max SSK
Max Flash Fist
Max Dash
12 Bullet time

2nd job:
Max hp increase
Max critical
Max CSKBLOW
Max DU
Max Backspin blow- This became spammable so its really good now
0 on barrel and the mp thing
Max Mastery and booster

3rd Job: So far.... i'm level 100

Max energy charge
Max energy blast
Max stun mastery
Max dice
Max brawling mastery
1 drain- im going to max this
0 Transformation- going to max this later
0 shockwave- im only going to put 21 on it

IK this may not be the best build but its efficient for me
and yes like the other people said above me dont max shockwave cuz it will be replaced by dragon strike
and as for Double Uppercut- i say good job maxing it cuz its pretty good IMO
you shouldnt put any thing on barrel or that mp thing...

This. Basically I just maxed out everything in second job (i think? gotta recheck) except for the recovery and barrel. found those two useless.

I trained at Kerning Square. Those monsters give amazing EXP IMO.
Well, my friend just showed me the guide. Apparently, Shockwave gets completely replaced by Dragon Strike so its smart to add the points into the 2nd job skills that you didn't max out earlier.

@AlwayzWiffu: So is it smarter to just add the 20 points into Barrel and HP to MP than Shockwave?

Okay, I think I understand it now. Max lvl for Shockwave is 20 correct? That would mean I can add 10 points into Barrel and 10 points into HP to MP by lbl 120 correct?
