Depends if they have self heal of any type (and how good it is). If they have no real self-heal, then go for defense first and max it out (Haven / Blast Shield). Then go for Life Rip and get that as...

Phase 2 updates soon! Few more tests and tweaks! =)

Hi there! Nice work!

You might want to check out the guide I wrote for Buck a while ago.

Buck the Destroyer

As some suggestions;

When you get more comfortable with Buck and his reload...

If enemy team has good heals, then Cauterize is still a good pick (because you will need to get it to level 3 anyway). The idea of picking Cauterize JUST for Buck is a bad idea unless you are in a...

100%.

Play him. Play him a lot. Not just one or two games. Play him until you actually play against people that know how to fight against him. You'll be back here making posts like "WTF, Buck 100%...

Man, so much misinformation and misguided attempts to "FIX" a character that is perfectly balanced.

First of all, removing his heal and giving him 4k base health would make Haven / Blast Shield...

If this is your experience, then you are playing with bad teammates. Stick together and you counter 95% of what Buck can do. Seriously. As a Buck main (15+ char level) with 250 hours into OB 33/34/35...

This is super wrong.

This is exactly what Buck wants you to do. Let me explain:

Let's assume you pick Cauterize right off the bat.

Buck picks Haven I (or Blast Shield depending on enemy team...

I liked it 3-4 weeks ago when everyone thought Buck was the weakest character in the game (even in OB34). Now people thinking he's OP.

He's fine as is. Has counters (sticking together). Has...

I play every character. Like I said in my post, I got "character not available" when I had a character selected, and no one else on my team had tried to select them. It's happened twice in about 30...

Well, you really shouldn't be picking reload with him anyway. Need to learn to manage your reload better so you can pick Cauterize as your red item MOST of the time (not all). In the case where the...

Do not play Buck if you are new to the game. You will get slaughtered. New players playing Buck is exactly why there was a large consensus that he was the weakest character in the game 2 or 3 weeks...

I got this as a bug. Picked Makoa, no one else on my team was trying to pick him, said "character not available" and then gave me a first time penalty of 30 minutes. Pretty weak =(.

As a Level 15 Buck player, I would stop playing him if they did this. Would basically make him similar to the other flankers. He's fine as is. Very easy to counter by sticking with your team. An...

Don't pick Cauterize to try to counter just Buck. Pick it for other reasons. Picking it specifically to deal with Buck is a trap... it doesn't work until you have Cauterize III. I explained it in...

Viktor is dangerous from WAY longer range than Buck. Like, way, WAY farther of a distance. He can stand in a position far away enough to allow him to see incoming threats and shoot them as they are...

The problem here is that Skye isn't a character that can sustain that DPS for a long period of time. She has to burst people down, or she gets shredded (which is why she loses to Buck, even when...

Actually, no.

Don't try to "fix" someone else's post when you don't have the details correct.



The burst comes out of nowhere. It's not sustained... She does M2 then M1, then has to reload....

Exactly. The circle of life!

Remember 2 or 3 weeks ago when everyone thought Buck was the worst character in the game? =O I wrote a guide to clear up some of the misinformation.

Buck the Destroyer Guide

Anyway, there's...

It's unfortunate because I'm the type of person that does spend money. Bought founders. Bought a bunch of crystals.

There's definitely something going on. I typically do pretty well. Well enough...

Kinessa is my absolute favorite target as Buck. =)

As MANY people have mentioned before, matchmaking in Paladins needs to be fixed. I don't care if its a Hi-Rez thing or not. It's absolutely atrocious. Expecting higher ranked players to carry weaker...

Yeah, I tried every combination even on the fattest target. In my guide I mentioned that it says 540 but does 550. Even if it did 540, 632 is not 30% more. Something is definitely broken......

Thanks for the feedback.

Honestly, the only thing that needs fixing is Net shot actually applying 30% damage increase instead of just 13 (which is what it does in Shooting Range... though that MAY...
