[quote=FluffyClover]i feel that nexon hates buccs, they took away our only hiding skill (barrel thingy), we lack mobility skill, we have a slow healing skill (5% hp/mp per 5 sec), and we don't even have high avoid which results in burning hp pots[/quote]

That healing skill is passive, and we receive an active damage reduction that forms excellent synergy with it, in addition to Sommersault Kick's invulnerability frames, if we still happen to have that. Even if we don't, there's a fair bit of ways you can take to avoid spending too many potions, such as abusing the range of Buccaneer Blast and using Corkscrew Blow to avoid hits; chaining it with Spiral Assault will get you hit, but if you don't you avoid hits, so properly timing your combo's can lead to avoiding certain hits. Barrel was fun, but not that effective, except maybe for being a Seduce Mule or avoiding damage during times you couldn't deal it, such as Damage Reflect.

Mobility is an issue to a degree, but Buccaneer Blast has massive range and mobbing capabilities, so it isn't too bad unless you absolutely need it for certain bosses, which does suck, but the other classes are homogenized enough as it is with almost all of them having Flash Jump, so I'd disagree with your statement. Buccaneers can potentially take a 1/1 in a potion lock area and live, and they could even do that before their revamp if Energy Charge was active; plus, you can still dodge the actual hits if you have good timing. I'm certainly out of the loop when it comes to more modern bosses, but it's always been a few classes who tend to excel at them, even in the older days of Maple, so it's not like Nexon's been doing anything too unusual in that regard.

That must be a joke? I LOVEEEEE MY BUCCC! Lotta fun playin it. I don't seem to experience any dismay from it contrary to what you say.

So easy. The range on BB and the ability to rush + survive is just too good.

[quote=BlondeAss]1st job- isnt a problem ofc
2nd job- pain in the ass, but i think now its much easier since you have this golden beach or w/e. not that you get ksed, its just really hard to lvl up.
3rd job- was pretty easy to me, just use SA+corckscrew on aliens and boom 100 (was much harder when 4th job was lvl 120). hard to ks you since you just rush through the whole map really quick.
4th job- with the right funds you just r@pe.[/quote]

Wait what since when did the 4th job level become 100. o.o (just recently came back)

[quote=XxSuperMoFoxX]not hard to lvl but mobility is a pain, dash doesnt do much, mount is okay i guess[/quote]

Pretty even compared to other explorers. Aside from warrior of course...
Oh warriors.

not hard to lvl but mobility is a pain, dash doesnt do much, mount is okay i guess

@Kuroda: i wonder how long itll take me to get there tsk tsk

@Kuroda: damn my friend has bern trying to get to 201 forever. Shes still at 0.00%.

1st job to 2nd job was a pain, 3rd job was better, and 4th job I leveled really really fast.

Getting ks-ed is a map thing on my Bucc. I'm usually good as long as I Bucc Blast fast enough on a flat map like aliens. No double jump skill, take that into account.
I found it hardest to level from 30-60. Past that, it's pretty decent.

kamehameha!

[quote=LLLed]Thanks everyone, made a bucc on Bera. and yeah 2nd job is abit slow[/quote]

I just made another bucc, but we're in different worlds.
Sigh, all alone in Renegades. Oh well, I wish you luck on your bucc (haha, rhyming) and hope you have fun playing it.

Thanks everyone, made a bucc on Bera. and yeah 2nd job is abit slow

Can't really say much. My buccaneer was a UA so from 50 to 120 I just spammed Shark Wave. Pretty easy, but I never used any other moves.
But I am making another buccaneer to experience what it's like NOW and when you're not a UA, since mine was pre-mutiny and I was a UA.

Experiencing the tedium that was the pre-bb grind has probably warped my standards for what I consider easy lvling, probably making my input kinda irrelevant to your standards for "easy", but I don't think there are any huge discrepancies anymore for time spent leveling to 4th job. I'd say 6-8 hrs approximately from lv 1- 100 with any class. Depending on funding, 2x exp or other exp bonuses. Monster park extreme until you can do aliens. Extremely fast lvling in my opinion and if you pace your self and spread out those hrs over a week, you shouldn't feel burned out or frustrated. Again though, it depends on what your tolerances are.

Really not too bad. 1st job is usual. 2nd job is super slow imo. 3rd job was pretty fast. 4th jobs has been decently fast. Id say go for it man!

The difficulty will depend on your tolerance and determination.

Honestly, it's not difficult to level at all. The most difficult time you'll have is probably levels 36 - 45. Then it's just monster park extreme to 100, Evo System to 110-115ish, and LHC.

Ksing int a problem, just camp out your lumi in the map.
And buccs do fine. Its actualy fun to train one.

my 166 bucc with 22k range unbuffed can go to 50k buffed.... 10min zak or less. gear isnt even that great, not a single unique/legendary
