I would make drain lvl 2 instead of leaving it at lvl 1 for so long. LvL 2 is the same damage as flash fist. Other than that the build looks pretty good.

This build seems to makes sense and it doesn't waste 2 points into shockwave and transform either. I also second what Rusty said. Drain 2 would be much more useful than it would be at level one compared to its speed. I might use this with my brawler, but I think I am too nib to make him useful at all...

1 drain is all you really need...the 5% difference is not that serious. It's speed out damages DU + FF either way.

An extra point in just about any skill won't make much of difference. I think he should leave drain at 3 so it outdmgs flash fist

Dang. Exactly what I was doing on my Marauder, after I switched from the Trans/Shock build later on. I'm doing the exact same stuff with energy charge/blast, haha.

That's almost exactly my build, I'm lvl 77 now, I have 1 transform and 1 shockwave
and I have 12 charge, now I'm getting blast to 11 (it's lvl 7) and then going 2 blast 1 charge till blast is 21, then I'll max charge >Max blast >max stun mastery > max drain>shockwave 21>max transform

i still dont see how drain is that usefull, it only hits one monster. For training purposes its a waste, but im not sure for bossing. And just to keep crits going, i like a backspin+DU combo, keeps em stunned and moderately good damage as well.

That's exactly what I've been saying, but you can't fix a bunch of people's minds that's dedicated on one thing.

only reason i can think of currently is because shockwave is gonna be replaced with DS in 4th job, iirc the KMST updates allowed us to use DS while transformed, but then again that'll rely on your build

But...level 1 drain out damages them. :f6:

If there were 2 transforms during 3rd job, shockwave would be great. That cooldown is the only thing that keeps me from liking shockwave. By the time you get a lot of transform usage (4th job), it gets replaced by dragon strike.

Shockwave gets replaced. Drain will always be useful up to lvl 200.

Think about it like this. When you're 4th job, how do u train from lvl 120-200? Some people use barrage for high level monsters for an OHKO. Great, you can OHKO after that slow ass animation, and you'll be killing at the same speed til lvl 200. The only thing that can increase your training speed, is a faster attack. My drain can hit 15k+ already, and im lvl 127. What about when im 15x? I'll be doing 20k+ drains ez. Barrage could never keep up with that kind of training speed. Its slow animation will just slow you down later. You need a strong/quick attack. Drain is great while your low level for when you can't OHKO with barrage. Doing a barrage + 2/3 drains is better than doing barrage twice. It's hard for me to just sit here and explain how awesome of a skill drain is. That's why im making a 4th job control video. To show how comboing your skills together is a LOT better than spamming shockwave.

I'll tell u guys this...... every single buc video I've seen on youtube.... their control is *facepalm*

why not max drain and 21 blast? is there some forbidden lol-ness that keeps people from doing this? 0_o

because blast is more useful than both of them.

which I will also be demonstrating in my video =D.

All these discussions and questions about which build is best . The best way to show which is better is by showing it. You can only explain things but so much.

Seriously though..... After I do this, I challenge ANYONE to show themselves killing faster with shockwave.

I'd like to end this shockwave vs drain debate.

Get Blast to 11 all in one block. Before that it's basically useless, so you might as well have more points in Charge rather than split between Charge and a Blast you won't be using.

taken into account, i'll work on a second build now

btw how many times can we use Energy Blast in 31 seconds?

and how long does it take Energy Charge to charge up?

Don't know about Energy Blast.

About Energy Charge; at WindRaiders I probably can charge it in 20 seconds, at Typhons I can do it 5 seconds if I'm in a mob. It depends on how many monsters and how fast you can hit them. I think it's about 8 or 9 Somersaults against 6 Typhons.

You do have to realize that 95% of those are from private servers and Tespia servers. They didn't get the enough time to learn how to play the class before playing as fourth job.

and how long do u think people in our version have had 4th job?

I will hand it to you though shikage. You're better at using ur buc than most.

That's not an excuse. Hand me any character and I'll be able to control it better than those people in an hour, tops.
