I was wondering what was the best combination to solo run dungeons with corsair 3.
I thought on
Sword > pelt > barb 2 > corsair 3
sword > high 3 > corsair 3
But I just can’t think on the better one.
Any ideas?

So.
Pelt>Hop2>Cor3 is the best damage by far, though you would be better off with hop3>Cor2 as Hop3’s spear throw is getting a massive buff that makes dungeon clearing solo a breeze. (Spear lunge > Hexen and Spear Lunge > stabbing is just awesome).
You could also consider High2>Barb1>Cor3 for the slash debuffs ect, no where near as good as the hop path but it doesn’t lock you into spears.You do more slash damage with this path. (Cleave boosts the skyliner + bleed combo as well as Dust devil). This build will probably be more fun as you have all 3 types of damage and always have skills to press but it will do less damage/burst. Completely up to what you would have fun with.
The biggest issue is corsair3 doesn’t really have a good option for Rank8 (out in a few weeks) as nothing synergises well with it. Murmillo needs sheilds and Lancer requires 2H spears, while corsair needs to dual weild and most skills either cannot be used mounted or demount you. The best would probably be Fencer C1 so that you can ignore def on pierce skills, have spamable slash/tankiness and another big Peirce burst skill, though it would rule out the Hop builds unless you want to weapon swap and lose finestra.

The main reason is being able to solo dungeons and not really do late game content.
Do you think pelt > hop 3 > cors 2 is a fair choice, then?
All I want is soloing dungeons and getting a fair amount of silver/day with it.
Do hop 2 cor 2 doppel/dragoon for best solo damage

Try going Sw>Pelt>Hop2>Cor2>wait
See if we get the hop3 buff to throw spear before choosing dragoon or cor3. That way you can make your character and think about it when you get to 227 for rank7 choice.
Sw > Pelt > A > B > Corsair 3
In a+B, it is best to go with a circle 2 class.
Both Barb 2 and Hop 2 will give you some benefits.
barb 2 has more mobbing potential.
hop 2 has more bossing potential (spear lunge range is horrible)
Hoplite only has some AOE once you reach hoplite 3 and can start spamming spear throw, and does even better if you can get a Geras Spear at lvl 170.
You could also go highlander 3 and take peltasta out of it.
Highlander 3 has both bossing and mobbing potential. It would be the best for this situation due to having acess to some of the best skills in the swordsman tree (crosscut + skyliner combo, vertical slash which rapes with enough debuffs). But you will loose peltasta utility in regards to swash buckling.

hop 2 cor 2 dragoon 2 is better.
Just like he said corsair 3 is bad. go corsair 2 and dragoon at rank 7.

I’m trying now the Path the friend up there said:
Swords > Pelt > Hop 3 > Corsair 2
But hoplites aoe isnt amazing, it just becomes good.
Barbarian 2 or highlander 3 will do better AOE wise.
Hop3 Corsair2 is an awful idea even with the Spear Throw buff. Dragoon is a stronger option and gives you a rank 8.

I see. Thanks for the info!
Put into consideration that
Sword 1 - High 3 - Anything
deals a huge amount of damage which will easily carry you to R7 and probably beyond. Vertical Slash und Catar Stroke are just awesome since the ktos patches came to us. Were good before and are amazing now.
But why do you even want a Corsair 3 for Solo Dungeon?
I have both a Hop2 Corsair and a High3 Corsair. Hop2 does way, way more damage. Spear Lunge, Finestra and Stabbing provide a lot more than Highlander can.
Corsair has way more silver drop than normal, using it to solo clear dungeons is definitely the way to go.
A solo 145 dungeon shall provide you 400k-450k silver, with Corsair the amount should be way higher.
That’s why I’m trying to fit a build with corsair that can solo the dungeon at lvl 200 or before. D:
Wait a second, you want this character for farming purposes?
If yes, clarify it, in this case, there may be better builds designed for this sole purpose.
Yes, for corsair 3, 15/15 jolly roger in this case is a must.
Although some people claim 15 JR isnt a good as lower levels of JR, this is weird O_O7

I see. I’m sorry for don’t making myself clear since the beginning, i thought I did saying my purpose was to solo dungeons.
Anyway, is is true? JR higher levels get worse? o.O
Nope, but for some people, they have claimed it would work better in lower levels. You may check the following thread for this: How good is Corsair's Jolly Roger?
A thing you may also want to consider is the clearing speed of your character. This is what makes a scout 3 so good at farming dg130, its clearing speed.

That’s why I considered hop 3.
Just can’t decide if corsair is the best decision now.
