Octopus Quarterdeck - Wth is even the point?

(Or whatever the heck it's called in GMS.)
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzQ1ODQyNzYw.html
I was looking at this dude who's hitting 700000x4-999999x4 per mob using Eight Legs Easton.
And Octopus Quarterdeck is hitting around 80k. -.-

Eight Legs takes a little over twice the time to cast a Quarterdeck. The only thing I can see Quarterdeck helping with is 1v1 on a stationary target. (To have a 100% shot of it hitting it every time.)

But, the lag it takes to swap between Quarterdeck and Rapid Fire... I still don't know if it's worth it.

Is this skill a complete waste? And, if not, when is it useful?

*Now that I think of it, is Quarterdeck affected by Captain's Dignity? If not, then there is no point.*

In KMS, Easton had a little delay. By mounting in between casts, the delay was shortened.

[quote=OldManMaple]It's the replacement for Octopus. (Fyi, global.hidden-street.net said it's called Octo-Cannon now.)
The cool thing about our current Octopus, is that we can summon one ever few seconds and we can have multiples on the battle field. Octo-Cannon (Octopus Quarterdeck in KMS) only allows you to have one out at a time, but it fires faster at a weaker amount of damage.)

It does replace Octopus in the third job, BUT it doesn't have a 4th job buff, like our current Wrath of the Octopi. So I think it becomes worthless in the 4th job.
And since it doesn't really hit that high in the 3rd job (since you are probably killing things too fast for it to do any significant damage, and your not bossing) it's probably useless in the 3rd job too.)[/quote]

Too bad we haven't been able to summon multiple octopus since a couple patchs back.

I can still see it being kinda useful. More for looks though I guess.

That's what I thought... What a waste... We were the closest thing to a Summoners class in MS.

Which one is Octopus Quarterdeck?

Well, it's a 3rd job skill. I guess it's like Octopus... not super useful. At least it doesn't need you to cuddle up to it for it to actually shoot.
