Post is dead because Corsair is dead thanks to the incredible strength of R8s and Lancer being 2h-spear only. We knew taking a R7 over a R8 would be weaker but holy ■■■■ I never anticipated just how big the power spike would be at R8.
Shinobis that didn’t go Pelt/Rode are pretty ■■■■■■ too.
One can only hope that a 1h sword comes with R9.
In my case what do you think it’s best? as a corsair 3 yourself, should I get corsair 3 on R8 or doppel?
Really couldn’t tell you.
I’ve always though Corsair + Templar would be a cool combination. Rather than just be a pirate, why not a be a true and blue PIRATE CAPTAIN? That’s how I’ve always viewed corsair/templars, at least.
Get fencer if you went SW3 barb1 or sw2 barb2. Rapier mastery boosts all your skill damage by 15% and you get defense pierce for pierce.
Remember matador is coming at the next rank or so, so get rapier mastery while you can, also rapier + pistol is always best in IMC’s games.
Also, Cleave boosts dagger C so I don’t see why it wouldn’t boost rapier basic attacks too.
viable (more or less) corsair c8 builds for PvP:
Sw3-Cata3-Cor1-Lancer1
Sw2-Hop2-Cor3-Drag1 (or Doppel or Ninja or Hop3, but I prefer Dragoon)
Sw2-Barb3-Cor2-Murmillo1
Sw2-Hop2-Cor1-Doppel1-Dragoon2
Sw3-Pelt1-Cor1-Fencer3
they’re all good, no bullshiet. enjoy.
if rank resets are really to come we all would have better rank choices hopefully it comes soon as rank 8 comes so my shinobi won’t be put on hold
Hi, I’m a Sw3 > Pelt1 > Cor3. Unsure about R8
I know that restrain works with a pistol, but has anyone tested if Pistol Shot works while mounted? Going lancer with a companion named “Ship” sounds tempting, outside of weapon switching and not being able to use JR or Dust Devil…
you get a like for companion name!
Pistol Shot does not work while mounted according to tosbase.
Stares at SR
Thank you 
trying sword3barb1cor3fen1
maybe sword2barb2
And I want to try sword3>pelt>cors3>shinobi for pvp. If someone can help us please.
