Dueal wielding and rank 7 doubts, plz help!

Hi, I just tried having Iron Hook on an enemy, using Long Stride causes the enemy to be knocked back, causing him to be pushed out of range. This combo doesn’t work, or is there something else to it? Also, Long Stride can’t be used with a dagger, hence on-the-spot weapon swapping is required (for Hexen Dropper etc)… or is there another side to it that I do not know?

Damnit :< I wanted to use this combo too. Fml. Did you try this in PvP? Also if the enemy has pain barrier up, would it work then? since pain barrier prevents knockback. Wouldn’t be useful in most situations, but better than nothing. Are there other skills for different classes that prevent knockback? You could potentially bait them into using that skill before you went for the combo.

THat wouldn’t be reliable at all. I made a bug report thread here:

Regarding Corsair's Iron Hook & Hoplite's Long Stride

Corsair's Iron Hook is supposed to hold enemies in place. When done from a distance, as a melee I would need to get close to them to deal damage while they're hooked in place. However, I can't move when Iron Hook is up, otherwise it would break the hook. This is when I use Long Stride to close the gap between me and the enemy, however, Long Stride causes the enemy to be knocked backwards, causing me unable to reach my enemy again. Please fix this, as this is pretty much a no-brainer, hooked en…

Yes, tried in PvE PvP the same.

Hope they fix it. OTherwise, Corsair is probably good for nothing in PvP (after being hailed as THE PVP class for swordsman tree) other than standing still and hooking, while hoping your teammates protect you and just help you hit the enemy. Having all these burst skills like Hexen Dropper probably good for nothing. Since you can’t reach them anyway. Might as well just reroll an archer or wizard class, none of these nonsense.

On another note, I wished people would actually try it out in-game before suggesting things, because I took his word for it and built it like that, just to find out that it’s far from the truth in reality.

So Pelt -> Barb 2 -> Corsair 2 -> something is viable?
How does dual wielding Fencer for r7 sound? Or Doppel? Not a great fan of Dragoon’s, so considering using that build for a dual wielder…
… thinking about it, running Barb 3 before Corsair 2 might work too, since Corsair 3 is just bad atm.

[Kerzenflamme]

barb 2 doesnt synergize well with corsair 2. You really need barb 3 if you want to go corsair 2. Either way, Barb corsair is probably inferior to hoplite corsair…

Hey Erokhi Is this build okay ? Swordsman-Pelt-Hop2-Corsair-Doppel-Dragoon

[ffxucsa]

are u nuts?
where did you get this ?

[Erokhi]

It’s a good build, but I prefer Corsair c2 over Doppelsoldner c1 because Corsair c2 has Hexen Dropper (pierce attack) that synergize with Hoplite’s Spear Lunge.
