Hello
I’m wondering which skill to max: I’m used to the fact that Hexen Dropper was always the stronger one but lately I hear that Dust Devil is really strong.
I always like Dust Devil in my Corsair pre-rebuild. But today I took a look at the skills and I think the HD is stronger than DD. I’ll test it to confirm.
DustDevil is really good if you pair your Corsair with Rogue; otherwise it’s still decent as you get the attribute to deal additional damage with Dagger attacks from the back (DustDevil spins the enemy).
Though Hexen does trigger buffs more often.
dust devil is way better from a usability stand point
since it hits in a circle around you and has CC
also, i think brutality is getting reworked to buff slash damage instead of pierce damage, which is an indirect buff to dd
Oh right, I forgot to mention I’m pairing it with BM. I know SR may be better choice but I like the coolness factor XD
What kinda buffs? Like from Sissels?
Hehe, going full DevilMayCry there, huh? 
And buffs like Blessing or EntchantLightning. However I need to test this again, I might be wrong as IMC did change something regarding that matter in the distant past. Gonna test it when I can.

Dag nabbit I just realized that O_o Can’t unsee now.
As for these two skills I asked because I got 2 free skill resets from returner’s box, so after originally having maxed HD, I respecced it into DD, and the damage of these 2 feels really simillar, with the difference that DD gives me a second to act while the mobs are spinning. However I’m just lv 287 ATM so I can’t tell which of these ones will be better in the end(game).
Off topic tho, it looks really fun when my chars does DD with 2 pistols XD
why is no one talkig about quick & dead? it used to be the best corsair skill pre rebuild imo, I haven’t tried it now but it doesn’t look changed, apart from this as a BM>corsair I’ll get Dust Devil when the brutality change hits us, the CC is too useful.
I like hexen dropper a lot but DD+Q&D are enough to fill the gap in BM skills
Q&D is still a great pistol skill, at firts I was taken aback since the ricochet attribute was gone, but it seems it has been merged with the skill, because it can still wipe (or heavily damage) a group of mobs if you herd them close enough, the radius being about ~5 cm circle in front of the char.
Ok, I did some testig on my own but since I’m just lv287 it may not be that precise.
Anyway with these weapons:
Bonuses from armor and accessories being +62 STR and +43 DEX + 300 Phys Atk from head accessories
Done at Demon Prison 2 aka Nukas and Spiders, unbuffed
The effect is (per hit) :
Dust Devil: around 17k damage normal, 30k crit
Hexen Dropper: around 7k damage normal, 17k crit
So adding some math here:
DD: 3 x 17k (30k) = 51k (90k) x 3 OH = 153k (270k) total
HD: 7 x 7k (17k) = 49k (119k) x 2 OH = 98k (238k) total
(sorry my mathe was my weakest subject so I may messed this up a bit)
But overall it seems that with 20 sec CD the better choice is Dust Devil since it works around the caster and it has CC properties, so good in a pinch when you need to take a breath.
IMO the winner is Dust Devil.
Tho since there’re better people at testing skills, please confirm it 
Devil is always the winner.
