Notable Skills

Blast - Useful dmg skill that requires full charge

Charge - Allows you to become fully charged, many skill require this. (I recommend using knuckle booster and somersault kick to charge it up fast, more targets you hit = more energy gained)

Transformation AKA Super Saiyan Form- Skill that increase your stats for a set period of time, good for big mob farm spot thingies

Shockwave - Heavy hitter that's only available while in transformation

Done.

Approved. Haven't played a bucc myself so can't comment on the build, but there are others who have.

Thanks for the info i plan on making a UA Buccaneer.

Whoo, finally a guide that suggests maxing Dash. I would, however, hold off on Dash if you are very well funded. Reaching 140% passive speed doesn't take much anymore, but for the average player, dash is extremely helpful.

I've been thinking about this... Wouldn't you have to scroll more into DEX 'stead of luk if you go dexless?

And if so, wouldn't low DEX be better? I don't really know much 'bout this...

-------
Yes, dash is for the average player... But what the heck, there's no need for flash fist :/

Do you mean Str?

Most Buccs go "dexless" because they'll reach a very high total dex without sacrificing anything. Even my Mage has nearly 150 total dex with 4 base, and absolutely nothing is dex scrolled. There are so many +all stat items that "endgame" players will go statless in every circumstance.

For the average player, it's still better to stay dexless for a while and upgrade to very-lowdex later on. Scrolling for dex is much easier than scrolling for str. Getting str on helmets, shoes, earrings, etc is expensive and difficult since very few of these scrolls exist. You can get dex on just anything, so even if something is scrolled for dex, it's not sacrificed str for the average player.

Should I update for pirate revamp?????????

of course!!!!
