Emphasis is on PvE and 1v1 dueling.
Build: Pel c1 / Hop c2 / Cor c3
Stats: 4/2/1 STR/CON/DEX
I have a few 1v1 tactics in mind, but I think this would also work in party play since taunt is there plus more loot. For PvE soloing shouldn’t be a problem either with so much tools at your disposal.
I got a skill reset and stat reset to use in the future if needed, but ofcourse full circle reset is a no go.
I can see you trying to work with hook and pistol/pistol shot.
you can try putting a point in keen hauling and start pulling when hook duration is about to end, then do a hexxen dropper. I don’t really see you being able to kill high con builds fully relying on your pistol though. I’m just assuming you are relying on it since you didn’t put any point in dust devil and keen.
I didn’t put any points in keel hauling because I heard it’s bugged and it will break stun from the hook. If stun is broken how will I be able to pull the enemy to me?
you can still pull even when the debuff is gone(as long as the hook animation is still there), but they will be able to move. you’ll just use it when your hook duration is about to expire anyway.
you can test on mobs to see what i’m talking about if you dont get it, once you get to corsair c1.
But question remains why pull them when you can just use long stride to jump there? Timing will be tricky to pull off.
if you want to stay purely on 1v1 that isn’t bad, but you know out of 1v1 if you ever get to group pvp you wouldn’t want to jump into the enemy team, and having 10/10 dwa is not necessary if you look at it, might as well take 1 in hook, and 1 in dust devil for canceling, right?
Canceling?
Oh ya i just heard iron hook long stride combo doesnt really work since enemy gets knocked out of melee range is that true?
dust devil can cancel animations if timed right, and stops the enemy from doing anything other than moving during the dust devil duration
for the long stride combo, i’m not really sure because I always have barb builds on my corsair
Whats the concept of iron hook? Cant we just walk/run to the enemy while he is hooked and hit it with a burst damage skill? Or does the stun break if we try to move from our position while hooking the enemy?
Hello there! Im a similar build 250+ spear corsair (currently dragoon)
Anyway let me just say this, from what Ive gathered, Pistol shot is weak atm and really not worth getting. 5 more points into hexen, while strong, is certainly not worth dropping a new set of skills for your rotation. You’ll get 100% uptime on DWA, but I think that’s it. Duration for the Hook is overkill.
If you really want to go Corsair 3, I think youre better off getting a sword wielding class, spear skills are too strong to forego just so you can take advantage of a 100% uptime DWA.
I would personally just take one point into both Keelhauling and Dust Devil just for the sake of utility. Otherwise, everything looks really solid there. You should be good either way.
I modified the build slightly to include lv1 of keel hauling and dust devil for utility.
I realize this build isn’t gonna be really good for 1v1 after all, but since swordsman is trash tier in end game anyways might as well just go for what you think is fun to play.
Ugh: Just found out double weapon assault drains stamina per hit >_>"
