As the Buccaneer community is still extremely small, I would like to continue to advocate for the very few who still would like to play this class.
I'd like to suggest again buffing Transformation and Super Transformation.
Suggested buff:
Transformation:
- Cool down reduced from 360 sec to 240 sec to allow perfect cd rotation with Super Transformation. (Now implemented, thank you!)
- Add Weapon attack effect +10 or +20 to make it liable to ensure you keep up perfect rotation with Super Transformation
Super Transformation:
- Added Weapon attack effect +20 or +30-40. and/or remove CD completely at max lvl (to allow animation cancellation combo) or change to 2min CD to reactivate at end.
Our barrage + demolition combo only gives a small amount of dmg increase around 7-8% (example: 13m dmg with barrage + dragon strike and 14-15m dmg barrage + demolition for 1min) when compared to barrage + dragon strike for 2mins. We then need to wait another 2 mins to activate again just to get an additional 7% or less overall dmg. This to me is a very small increase and really leaves buccaneer lagging behind in 1v1 where we are supposed to excel at compared to our TB counter parts as we attack at a slower rate (even with current cd buffs from vanilla)
Another possible improvement would be to match critical punch with TB's to give us the critical chance as well to improve the 1v1 capabilities of Buccaneers.
I believe adding one or all of these buffs would allow more people to try out the buccaneer class and not just think of it as a weaker version of Thunder Breakers (as its currently seen). I hope you have time to consider these changes so we can enjoy the Buccaneer class and have a community born out of it! Thank you for any insight you can provide!
