So just wondering what you guys think about Corsair? I feel like brutality is almost a staple for scout builds (except for AA enchanter build, where strike does not benefit from brutality). I mean it also has 2 non-specific offensive skills and 1 skill for each dagger and pistol.
And since no one is discussing about sheriff, I will start one. I’d go with sheriff-linker-corsair. What do you guys think the differences between sheriff and BM are? They seem to play very similarly…
as long as you are comboing Sheriff with either Corsair, SR, or Outlaw, you really cant go wrong imo. you could append any class onto any of those combos and have an effective build.
my money is on SR > Sheriff > Out, and SR > Sherriff > Link becoming meta.
Edited: Forgot a few bulletpoints.
Also personally im gonna do SR > Sherrif > Outlaw. I like the idea of a mounted guntank.
With regards to the SR-Sheriff-Outlaw build, how would Retreat Shot fair in this build?
This build seems to me more of like a kite and tank build and bursting them down whenever possible.
Would Retreat Shot still be needed during the Aggroing phase or can I invest my skill points elsewhere, Caracole perhaps?
I’m thinking of switching over to SR-Sheriff-Outlaw from SR-Enchanter-Corsair. I’m not sure if it’s worth sacrificing my buffs for a more dynamic playstyle.
they definitely go together- but they use a play style different than the standard SR Auto builds. This would be more geared towards bossing and trash tanking in a group, and pushing damage via skills. it would play kinda like how the old hackapell did; High mobility and good midrange AOE.
Sheriff’s big problem imo- is it lacks any real defining traits. All of its skills can be found elsewhere in equivalent or more effective forms for the most part.
Its most unique effect is its Redemption buff, but it by itself is not class defining. it needs to have another mechanic layer rather than just increasing evasion and move speed.
IMO Sheriff should have been more focused into Mob control, Mitigation and Single target damage.
This is how i’d Change Sheriff if it were me.

So, your gathering phase actually becomes a mix of Aggress > Aiming Shot. Aggress has a sizable AOE, and since it technically buff’s aiming shot’s damage by 200%, it gives you a good setup for getting things together, and Rampage. if you are killing quick enough marching/retreat can help bridge the cool down gap
This Setup has a plethora of skills to use, with limacon being drastically reduced in its usefulness. After you get to about level 300 or so, you can completely drop limacon all together and invest in 10/10 retreat, 15/15 concentrated 5/15 Caracole
After playing with this build a bunch last night i wound up re-speccing to this Skill Setup: [Scout > SR > Sheriff > Outlaw]. It felt cleaner, and flowed way better than trying to get limacon to be useful.
i was aiming for more of a bossing setup thinking i’d have enough AOE on Sheriff/Outlaw, but that wasnt the case. Retreat shot definitely helps a ton for trash.
just for the bossing DPS. I wound up moving skills again because Redemption is actually hot-garbage and only needs 1 point. It’s tooltip is extremely deceptive.
The way it actually functions is it gives you a 100% Chance to evade for a short time, and then after your evasion ends, you get a movement speed increase. Its tooltip read as if it was identical to outlaw’s bully, but for evade and movespeed.
it is, and i’m seeing that now that i play with it more. at first its AOE Felt far too narrow, and too clunky to use. now its more of a 'your going to die here"
