    Since i got into buccaneer on this server post Anni patch, i kind of disregarded Snatch as a utility repositioning skill like reverse backspin blow, and honestly i kind of forgot about it. I had one point in it and didnt use it for uhm, 35 levels straight.

    Well this changes today.
    i ended up maxing out Orb (my beloved) and was thinking about what damage snatch does on its own, and i realized that DAMN its really fast compared to Dragon Strike, and it doesnt have built in cooldown anymore.
    So i went to my fav place, target dummies and tried comparison between level 1 DS and 1 snatch. To my surprise, DS did 2M dpm, while snatch did 5m dpm. And thats on unstunnable monsters where you cant proc stun mastery.

    So i looked up on patch notes, and apparently snatch needs level 11 to hit the 6 target cap, which i allocated right away.
    Results?

    Snatch is a great!
    I definetly plan to run some CWK's now as cleaver, considering Bucc fits really nice niche in the 2-3 target cleave, and for the big aoe you can pop ST and wreck some ass

    At least thats my theory that needs to be tested.

    Snatch is part of the kit that makes bucc the best (and almost only) PB pinner, there's no reason to change with it and lose your role..

    Back in the days with the old snatch I already did duo cleave with a bucc, and very little changed from what I went solo cleave, even with the bucc high level and with good gear, the time you is without ST makes the dpm drop a lot

    Ran some dummy tests.

    This might help newer Buccs decide on their skill builds in 4th job.
    General take is:
    -grab SI 11 asap if you intending to boss or do group content
    -DS is actually not that great, compared to blast, becuase its very slow
    -Its Very worth to grab snatch 11 AFTER ST 20 if you intend to grind
    -Do not stress about "maxing" a damage skill, the difference between 20 and 30 is roughly 10% damage output, you get majority of benefit at skill levels 11 and 20.
    -ORB is GOOD, but its not a powerhouse like it was in Anni patch, its our best filler between Barrages, but if you are brand new you can use energy blasts instead as filler, especially if theres more than 1 target around
    -Shockwave is total trash, outside of VERY fringe scenario like 6 target cleave when you dont have ST active, and requires you to have perfectly flat terrain
