@netanel: GMS might change things like they have with Luminous and AB, and make TBs need mastery books. In which case I'd probably quit since I'm leveling my TB at this moment.

[quote=netanel]open a Tb now and level it to 120.then open an UA buccaneer .
until TB revamp you will have both classes on high levels and it will be easier for you to choose from[/quote]

I believe there would be some sort of event for Strikers reaching each job advancement?

[quote=askmiller]well.. it's tough.

Idk what to say about strikers because we haven't seen what their best attacking strategy is. I've seen them chain 3rd job skills together to attack very fast and I've seen them spam their shark attack. (stupid filter) Until we see more of them, I don't think i can fully determine which one is better.[/quote]

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-mkmrDoj68]this guy seems to know what he is doing[/url] (watch how he is linking typhoon with annihilate/thunderbolt) i believe this will be the main bossing method once u get to lvl150 and get the hyper skill buff

From what I've seen, buccs and strikers have different play styles.

Yes seriously.
KMS, hyper skills for Hero characters came out Aug.22,2012. "
GMS hyper skills for Hero characters came out Dec.? 2012, that's only 4 months. So yea, I wouldn't be surprised if revamped Striker comes out end of spring.

Given that all new classes, once released, are very godly until their nerf months later, I can assure you that striker will have a pretty decent damage output (even after nerf, since most new classes are still decent after their nerfs)

Besides that, you should definitely make a striker because they look very fun. Their attacks are very versatile and they can all link (That means very little delay between skills!)

[quote=AnthonysWill]based on the KMST skill tables. The revamped Strikers(Thunder Breakers) are very mobile and fast.
They are not too strong (like Kaisers and post-hyper skill Marksman), but they are definitely not weak. They're more in the middle.
Their awesome looking whale hyper skill is actually not that good compared to a Buccaneer's Unity of Power and Stimulate.
So both are pretty much on par.

For powerful hyper skills and strong attacks: Buccaneer
For mobility, speed, and quick chain-attacks: Striker(Thunder Breaker)[/quote]

actually striker's 150hyper gives them a huge boost in dps:+25%att and the buff requirement and cd of typhoon is removed which means they can link annihilate and typhoon for a crazy dps(even though its not calculated yet i believe it is faster and stronger than octopunch)

Viper have better outright dps, striker will probably be buffed up a bit before its official release.
Striker are more versatile then viper and will have a more interesting training pattern instead of spam DS -> spam Laser.

Personally, I'd lean towards the Strikers. After the revamp, they're ironically closer to the original concept of Buccaneers (with combos and iFrames and what not) than Buccs are at the moment.

We have no flash jump compared to Strikers So there's that to consider.

Just make a buccaneer for now, if you like the upcoming playstyle of strikers when they still get here you can move the gear you accumulated on your bucc to it if you didn't get bound equips.

No strikers are the name of Thunder Breakers in KMS

[quote=taiyotejiya]We're not THAT far behind KMS. Since we already got Root Abyss out of the way, I say we'd get Striker/Thunder Breaker Revamp in late summer at the very latest.[/quote]

Root abyss replaced hypers.
