Dragon Strike we need to talk

We all loved you as our prime attacking skill Dragon Strike, but as you can see... we've moved past our dependence on you. We've found someone new.
We're moving on with our lives. Now, while you can still be useful, your glory days are over my dear friend.
Buccaneer Blast is far better to us, and is just as reliable as you. Hell, even our new tacked on ultimate is of-potentially-more-use-depending-on-preference.
Now, I do hope we can still be friends, that you would be willing to help us out whenever we're in need of a quick energy charge. We still care about you, but it's time for a change.
I'm glad we had this talk Dragon Strike, we will always love you.

I use SA/CSB to charge since you can rush through the entire map with those two skills. If the mobs do way too much touch damage and I'm low on pots, I settle for DS, instead. Depends on the situation for me.

Can't deny that DS looks awesome, though!

Only non-buccwagoners charge their energy without dragon strike.

I guess we made our wish and now the 7 dragonballs spread out again?

I still use Dragon Strike as my main mobber sometimes. For example, when I'm at ToT farming for masks, weak mobs, and sometimes even Crockys.
It's so fast =D

I mean, I Spiral/CSB but there's a small delay, so I like to LLB more to charge[/quote]
A delay? Even if there was (because there isn't) the cast time of either skills are shorter than LLB making LLB slower worse in every aspect of energy charging.

I slightly wish we didn't have buccaneer blast, because post-revamp dragonstrike is so awesome.

But being a typical mapler, I always go for the more powerful things.

Read the comment RIGHT above yours.
And no, basically everyone charges with D-strike. Did you even read the thread?
Silly goose.

[quote=costosito]uhmmm i still use it to charge energy... its way faster than any other skill imo; also it does tons of dmg ( for me it does 900k+); idk i always use it if im not charged.[/quote]
I mentioned that in the heartfelt letter. "Now, I do hope we can still be friends, that you would be willing to help us out whenever we're in need of a quick energy charge."

I found that using spiral first makes the combo faster than using corkscrew first. :l Not sure if you already knew this, though.
And, you can just spam the combo to rapidly rush across the map, pulling monsters along with you. Really helps a lot more than a static attack like LLB and Dragon Strike.
The only time I would actually use dragon strike is after I'd gathered a mob across a map with corkscrew/spiral and some remained alive; static attacks are more of a finisher than anything else.

Why would you do such a thing? I can't say no to that!

I remember when I first saw dragon strike in a kmst video. Freaking awesome looking skill. Now that they increased the speed so many times, I sometimes forget that it's a dragon.

Sadly, I won't because I keep forgetting I have the skill. :l
I tend to use spiral assault/corkscrew to charge up rather than dragon strike...
