Buccaneer nerf when?

Radical, but I like this. At the same time move TL to archmages.

 

Considering the most important endgame content is arguably HT and PB, I feel like you shouldn't be dismissing this. Most smaller PB squads comprise mainly of NLs by a very large margin. And PB is currently the most profitable and popular endgame benchmark for most players.

NL also don't need to be the BEST in all content to be playable, and personally I am happy to see other classes shining at different bosses. Unfortunately, the other content you mention, besides Zak probably, is still outshined by PB in terms of profitability and popularity.

 

yeah, but hold tt as an example (or blast, talking about my job) is much easier than deal with combo and/or dismount

 

So bro, you have to see some points,Until not long ago bucc couldn't use snatch and csb together (mentioned in the post) because they had skills that couldn't be used in ST, in the beginning bucc had problems with the barrage and damage lines cap, because it was 99k, the 30% gun and knuckle scrolls were introduced much later, as well as there were several mini buffs, I agree that maybe the combo (having utility, good damage, ignoring def) might seem op, but all of this goes down the drain when the player doesn't know how to play... even in PB itself, there's a whole guide on how to be bucc so as not grief

 

Aren't you just describing a bunch of buffs making buccs as good as they are right now. Precisely the reason they are overtuned.

 

that's the main point, bucc was like that, there was a time when there wasn't a bucc main, only mule (when you could get 999 avoid) that's why I tell you there's no point going back to what it was...

a good solution since many classes are "good" is to add more difficult content

 

Again, don't rely on buccs that know how to play and have perfect gear, there is an abyss for other jobs where you don't need mechanics, try creating a bucc and see for yourself

 

In my opinion, I believe that if someone sets out to play a class that needs more mechanics, this boost is deserved, like Corsair, dpm in dummy for dpm in a chaotic situation is totally different

 

(in this case, I used corsair as an example, but using bucc's cancel barrel is not that simple either)

 

I think it’s better to leave buccs in the spot they are in currently. They are strong for sure but runs get way more annoying to organize when you make the classes with supportive abilities weaker. It’s really not worth getting something wrong and putting them into mule status

 

forehead, I like this idea

 

i agree buccs are powerful. but something to keep in mind is bucc doesnt do much damage while pinning. Demolition animation last so long that the boss can move too far by the time demo animation is done. Also, in HT Bucc does 4-5mil dpm while other classes can clear 6-7mil dpm. Bucc IS considerably weaker in dpm compared to archers/NLs, and SE is still more important/sought out buff than SI. using that single PB data to say bucc does as much dmg as archer and NL is very very disingenuous and kinda put me off from this whole thing, even tho i agreed to begin with.

edit: i also agree that weakening bucc dpm will just make bucc become mules again, something we should avoid. after all, dpm is what allows classes to not become mules.

 

now that alchemist has been nerfed for NLs. buccs actually are equal to NLs in terms of apple efficiency due to the following reasons:
1) high dpm efficiency
2) avoid/i frames
3) low total weapon attack, meaning that onyx apples and gelts have a more significant effect on them vs say classes like corsair, archers, hero, pallies, shads.

 

Reduce ST uptime.
