I read alot about Doppel/Fencernobi but how is corsair with the rework?
Witch skills are copyable?
I dont see many of them but arent their skills stronger know?
Corsairnobi is actually pretty strong, despite not being as competitive in DpS-ing as those 2 (I’d say it is only one level below those 2 in terms of bursty dps as of now). One reason that there aren’t many Corsairnobi is that to min-max them you gonna need 3 weapons - Main-hand (1hand sword, 1hand spear or rapier), dagger AND pistol, what makes their investment a little higher (unless you wanna drop Quick and Dead - the old Pistol Shot). The copyable skills are Dust Devil, Hexen Dropper and Impale Dagger (you’re far comfortable in getting them all as they all can be maxed with only 30 skill points).
After the reset event for nobi I resetted my Corsair to a Sw3-Barb1-Cors3-Shinobi-Fenc1 (https://tos.neet.tv/skill-planner#11116888de.233f435f6485.45b595.1721317f518a95a5.55254114.213544). This build is quite powerful, I must say, and fits my “pirate using rapier” meme; but also, Corsair will get even more into the meta when Reitiari drops (can work really well with my build but replacing Fencer in the end, can also work with Sw1-Pelt1-Hop2-Cors3-Shinobi-Reit1 or Cors2-Shinobi-Reit2).
what do you think with dropping implant dagger, and go pistol corsair ?
i think retriari can use pistol with their trident finisher right?
In my opinion, general PVE-wise (because I don’t play PVP), if you go Corsair3+nobi it is essential to have Impale Dagger. Besides, you can go both pistol and dagger Corsair - you have more than enough points to have pistol and dagger in your build, maxing all clone-copyable skills + Quick and Dead (you even have 10 points remaining to invest as you wish in Iron Hook, Jolly Roger and Keel Hauling).
I am saying that because Impale Dagger has way too much bossing power in Corsairnobi. It is used fast, hits easy with proper positioning and contributes a lot in the clone burst. You’d be surprised with how much damage it is responsible for in a bushin rotation. In the same fashion, I particularly think that Quick and Dead is extremely good mobbing burst off-clone rotation though, hence the reason why I use it very often (it’s only a bit hassle to change between the 2 weapons sets frequently but I got used to it).
About the last question, yes, Reitiari can use Trident Finisher with any off-hand (shield, dagger, pistol), what comboes really well with Quick and Dead in clone cooldown (Rete -> Trident Finisher -> Quick and Dead if there is anything still alive -> profit).
How is being stat allocation on cors-nobi? Still high dex? Or any change after new copyable skills?
It is a bit ping and investment-dependant, similar to Fencer in that aspect I’d say. If you go high/full DEX you get more millage of casting skills fast, and your crits are incredible; but in the same way, you’ll heavily need to invest on gear (mainly crit rate status gear and high transcendence) to make the most of it - what makes an already expensive to min-max build even more expensive. Don’t even consider it if you have bad ping though (if ping around 0.1~0.2, 90~150 dex, rest in str; if higher than that just run full STR to raise base atk for your clones.)
(Double Weapon Assault is still a bit clunky in full DEX, just reminding it.)

Thank you so much.
Another thing, is pillaging fixed already? It seems to didnt work inside HG zones
Or corsair must keep farming mats…
What I know for sure is that Pillaging works mainly with monster-locked drops like silver or mats (it is very good at that actually); although it has been debated whether or not it works with global drops like the HG weapons and gems, to give an example - nobody seemed to prove that any of those can or cannot be pillaged (I guess the chance may be too low to be noticeable?).
In any case you’re guaranteed to get extra silver, and you do a very good job at getting masinios mats (a very reliable source of income if I must say).

True true those masinios…
I love what corsair can do, but it so hard right now choose the filler and 1 reset no more
How hard can be pick 2 ranks
I try barb-doppel cleave+dpe farm
Barb-fencer double slash debuff rapier
Hop2 spear lunge +finestra aoe attribute spear
Barb-hop cleave+finestra aoe and spear
Hop-doppel same reasons
What do you recommend? Is there another variant?
looking for general farming way, and some aoe is good, hope you can help me to decide
Btw is the clasicc swd3-x-cor3-shin-x
it will depend on your focus, mainly. The builds you enlisted have their usefulness, and it depends on playstyle.
Barb-Doppel is good to farm, but has the downside that your main weapon is a 1hand sword (considerably weaker than rapier and spear)
Barb-Fencer is what I run (as I shared my build above). I like this option, will go fencer2 in rank 10 and gives me more skills in shinobi rotation + rapier; but chugs A LOT of sp pots.
Hop2 is not a good choice to me. Finestra is a good buff, hop2 brings nice fillers; but has the issue that clones are affected by buffs anymore (rendering finestra kinda useless) and also don’t swap weapons (so you can’t use Synchro Trusting alongside Dust Devil & Hexen Dropper, gotta pick either of this group) - making me not like it anymore
Barb-Hop works to have both cleave and spear; but if you want spear I’d use Reitiari when it launches (hop may be placeholder until then).
Hop-Doppel I’ve literally never seen before.
(EDIT) if you really want 1hand spear as the last filler before Reitiari comes, might even pick Dragoon. Some Corsairs in kToS actually did that and it worked nicely because Dragon Soar and Dragontooth are also copyable, besides Serpentine and Gae Bolg as fillers. it could be Barb-Drag for the 2 fillers.

Fencer gives you the agressor attribute lounge and another shinobi skill (sept).
Doppel gives you dpe/Mordschlag/doV.
R4 is Pelt/Barb/Hop.
Pelt is nice only for Swash and guardian XD
Edit: not to mention Masinos Rapier is good and very Cheap.
