So I made a brawler when pirates came out and it started out fun. However, when I got to 3rd job, it became boring because of the lack of new skills. So then I made a hermit. The hermit was very speedy in training and in moving. I got it to 110 when CK came out. I decided to make a Thunder Breaker. It is lvl 115 right now so I have all the TB Skills possible. But Now that it is almost 120 I have to decide which character I want to continue. The invincibility frames of the TB and the combos made it fun and a very cool character to play on, so now I want to continue my marauder. However, I want to make my hermit into a NL so it becomes a good bosser. So the question is Buccaneer or Nightlord? Bucc: Pros: Gets Dragon strike, which is strong as well as corkscrew and barrage's invincibility frames. The combos are so good that they actually turn me on (yea.. like THAT) Cons: They are very slow from 70-120 (Right now im 75) They have to walk to the training spots at 105+ which is VERY far away and they dont have FJ or haste I will get bored training it to 120 D: NL: Pros: Fast trainers 110-130 They are fast so they get to training maps fast I like how I can snipe at Newties They are good bossers Cons: I dont think imma use my NL for training after 12x (I just want it to boss basically) They spam L7 They don't get invincibility They have the weakest mobbing skill. Summary: I want to make a Marauder but it is very slow training from 75 until 120 So I'm deciding whether to go the easy way (hermit) or take the Long... VERY LONG road and make my marauder a buccaneer: the job where it becomes fun. EDIT: BTW I HATE WINDRAIDERS WITH THE INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS. I hate them with a passion. So where can I train at 75 besides MP3? Would voodoos be good if I train there with a cleric friend? Edit 2: Im only getting to 12x on my NL Because i probably wont have inspiration after that (spamming tt all day) I will probably get my Bucc to 13x or even higher becasue of the fun combos. its just the 3rd job training i dont wanna do

VHidden : No no no im not going only up to 12x on both. its only on the NL because it wont be fun training after spamming TT all day. If i do bucc, it will be more fun but I'll get to 14x or higher. are you going to HP wash? If not go with NLs, if you do go with Buccaneers.

VHidden : Why do I want to HP Wash? I think its because then you can boss better. or something

VHidden : Why do I want to HP Wash? Buccaneers don't have enough hp to tank zak w/o hp wash until level 13X or something. And at zak if there's a drk most likely he/she will be in buyer party. Edit: I'm not 100% sure if you need to hp wash for HT b/c most parties has HB but its better.

Oh. BTW I dont really care about DPM Compared to other classes. the only damage I care about is getting good damage among my own class. I just want a character thats fun to train and play and boss on :D Oh @ Above. I dont really wanna zak. the only bosses I will do would probably be Pianus and under.

Ya the thing is, most buccs hp wash so they can tank zak w/o hb. They will be spamming barrage while you will have to spam barrage and corkscrew so you don't get knocked into zak. And even that its not 100% that you'll stay safe and not get knocked in. Oh, well then go bucc then.

Buccaneer, on any world there are enough of these night lords and generic names like NARUAWESOMENIJA and retarded stuff like that.

I've never seen any problems with a Buccaneer bumping into Zak at a run and taking the touch damage. Yes, Barrage is close, but it's not so close as to needing to be right there too close to Zakum. Besides, I think you get knocked back at Zakum, not forward.

Try getting leech? I Made a Marauder to 60-90 in 1week since i bought alot of 2x cards and leech when i hit 75. SO if ur funded i guess go with bucc since ull be buying leech if u want too.And if u want to talk to me about Leech sellers i have some.I have a leech seller who gives 5m/hr on anything but has school so i dont kno what time theyll be on. And some other leech sellers who sells Reg prices like harp 7m/hr etc. So if ur worried about training ur Bucc then just worry if ur not funded.
