Thatās what happened to me. Frustration, frustration and frustration due to team mates not knowing how to play around hook. Plaing sw3>cata for the same reason.
I āwasā maybe the best. Not anymoreā¦sigh
Looking at screens with me being first of the PvP ranking
Thatās so far naw. xD
But seriously speaking, your build is really good and you play pretty well. Only problems are animation freeze that everyone has problem withā¦
PvP matching was already āluckā based but naw we have animation freeze which is also āluckā basedā¦
Iām starting to feel depressed about PvP. Furthermore, ranking doesnāt even work on Fediā¦
Anyway, keep going I guess! :3

Now that they allowed equips, I find myself in a bit of trouble. My equips are rather shtty (+4 whole kit, lvl 5-6 gems in weapons, no gems in armor, no monster gems, few good awakenings, etc). I expect that higher-ranked guys who went on bossing when I stopped playing previously now be MUCH harder to kill (especially those with +50 equips lol). And thatās why Iām going to grind again. This patch is wonderful, because it gave me a new goal.
I am not sure I will post videos, need to understand if my Corsair is still any good in TBL. Tomorrow weāll see.
PS. Two pistol shots are insane tho.
No more TBL with Cafrisun Set for me 
Yeah, that 4v5 vid i wondered why i died quick. I then understood I was wearing Cafri after grinding at DPdist2 xD
Have difficulties uploading vids to youtube. Some kind of bug. Donāt have time to solve it now, gtg fast. One piece of good news tho:
I still got what it takes :3
UPD. Rank 8 is disturbing. Cant take both c8 classes it seems, but their dmg modifiers tell me that if I donāt, Iāll be a gimp. Very disturbing.

how about hoptite c3 for rank 8?
i read the google translation of this attribute and on my understanding, it will increase the skill damage on a medium targets if using a spear(?).
or a shinobi for safety maneuvers. ( they also got new attribute as well)
Medium size damage doesnt work in PvP. Hoplite 3 is an option, but he doesnāt give that much.
Shinobi is good, and Iām not that worried about itās damage (tho itās vastly inferior to C8 in PvP) - Iām much more worried about itās bugs.
I basically want Shinobi for Katon and Mokuton - to enter stealth and jump to enemies in PvP. But as far as I know from talking to Shinobis on Fedimian - you get stuck very often after jumping with mokuton and if you cast invisibility while being in sight range of an enemy, it seems your character sometimes retains visual effects from self-buffs (like gung-ho - seen that in PvP myself).
Soā¦ =\
And I cant even tell if those bugs are fixed, cuz those classes are "SECRET" and we donāt know if any bugs are fixed with them at all.
That isā¦ disturbing.

well thats a bummer. no wonder shinobi cast katon early.
and i wouldnāt dare getting a shinobi, they say that getting the flower will took days to get.
If they would at least make pistol shot usable mounted, Lancer would be an option to consider, even though the weapon swapping is an annoyance - itās less of an issue than mounting and dismounting while your companion derps around running at people to attack them the second you dismount for a skill.
I also donāt understand why Swordies STILL donāt have auto weapon swap like Archers do.

Yeah, I also canāt understand why we have to suffer manual switch, while archers can just pew-pew automatically. No respect for swordsmen at all xD
Hi guys.
My vids still wonāt upload. And Iām really starting to enjoy FPS lol.
The more I think about it, the more I realise the only way for me to not fck up my corsair is to avoid rank 8 untill rank 9 is released.
Basically, there are 3 options for Corsair C3:
- shinobi, if bugs are ever fixed it will provide the best utility in PvP, but tbh is more arena-oriented, invis too short and will not really be needed in GvG
- doppel for +50% atk and cyclone (useful for chasing in PvP and generally in PvE, but I have 0 ways to upscale itās damage)
- dragoon c1, but only if Iām taking dragoon c2 at c9, otherwise Dragoon c1 on itās own is a bad choice. it will kinda add to my rotation and dragontooth is a nice range for a melee skill, but thatās all. though, it may become very good choice if I take it to c2 at c9. a ranged skill and a +100% debuff are definitely worth it. in case we get even more corsair-incompatible circles at c9-c10 (totally possible)
What do you think?
Wouldnāt Fencer be better than Doppel? Coquille, Sept and Flanconnade are good for Corsair. But youād have to commit Fencer 3 at rank 10 and thatās worse than going Dragoon c2 at rank 9.
Iād say wait. Maybe clones will copy Stabbing one day.
P.S.: if I were you your shoes, Iād go Dragoon. Dethrone range seems great so you can cast it twice and if enemy is still alive, you can Long Stride onto them and finish with Serpentine or Hexen Dropper. Dragoon skills range are very nice.
Nah, no switch please. I wonāt even be taking Gae Bulg on Dragoon probably because of Finestra thatās probably gonna be lost with the throw. I have enough of cooldowns to worry about already.
Also, the initial motto of the build back when I started it was āswordie with rangeā and c2 really fits it.
Yeah, going Dragoon c1 is probably a lesser-evil choice. Still, we might get something you canāt avoid at c9 and for the whole period of c8 my char will be very, very weakā¦ But tbh, any of those above will I guess. Doppel is additional buffs, as if I donāt have enough already. And also a debuff to own defā¦ And shinobi is a buggy narutard (sorry) =\
Then itās Dragoon. I hardly believe Shinobi will ever get a long lasting invis like Archers have.
sttr413 i have a few questions about your skill build now that you have enough feedback from pvp.
-Now that we can stun more with restraint , do you think its worth to take a point in pain barrier and invest it in thrust to apply bleeding?
-What do you think about hook duration? It is so high with 15 points and they can stop you? What do you think its the optimal distribution after testing it (max tim you can usually maintain your hook)?
-How many multi-hits have pistol shoot? Each hit apply effects (concentrate, blessing, elemental propperty attack,ā¦) or it just show the damage splitted and just triggers the effects one time (its hard to see in videos)?
-Are you sure that keel hauling isnāt necesary in some pvps? bleeding in high str builds its great.
-What do you think about the new shinobiās attribute inbou (more dash speed and less stamina consumption) ? How good do you think it will be in pvp?
Iām currently rank 5 following your path, Iāll be very greatful if you can answer these questions, they will clear my doubts, atleast until rank 9 release ( maybe shinobi to fill ranks if rank 9 have a good option for us, dragoon c2 on rank 9 if not).
-
cant imagine myself applying bleed with thrust in PvP. why? because I have enough buttons already, I will even have to forfeit some of them with c8.
-
Hook should be maxed and itās totally possible to hold it for full time.
-
5 hits, proper multi-hit, stunlocks quite often.
-
Keel Hauling breaks paralyze effect and doesnt allow for Hook: Chain attribute. You start keeling him and he just runs away. Then again, another button.
-
Donāt think itās that relevant tbh. Iām using a Manticen card lvl 10 now and itās also doesnāt give much.
PS. ATM I believe Shinobi is much less playable than it should be in PvP due to itās bugs.
UPD. In fact, I believe that with time Pistol Shotās damage will fall off a bit, but with Minotaur Cards and Restrain it will remain a reliable source of ranged CC apart from Hook.
