Future Corsair Help!

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hi guys,
i recently started playing ToS not long ago, and I’ve been doing quite a bit of research prior. I do have some questions regarding my skilling to eventually become a corsair.

For swordsman C1, what should my skill build be?
It seems that concentrate falls of pretty hard going later into the game, so should i just skip it altogether and maybe go for more points in pain barrier? So max Gungho, pain barrier, Lv3 in bash, level 2 in thrust or level 1 in thrust and concentrate?

I’m thinking of going for full STR in my build, but would i be able to maybe go into hoplite C1 to take finestra to buff up my crit and block? Or would going for another skill tree be better?

I also saw a few skill builds going something like
Swordsman C1 > Barb C1 > Barb C2 > Corsair C3
is this a viable skill build? or could i maybe slot in a C1 Hoplite in place of Barb C2? Just to put things in perspective, I’m likely to go for more PVE than PVP.

Thanks for helping me out everyone!

I would recommend something like this.

Going Hoplite C2 lets you have Finestra up 100% of the time, and that buff alone will make it so you can invest way more into STR without having to have as much DEX.

Ah i see look good! Thanks for the suggestion. Would it then be ideal to go for pure strength then? Also, how do corsairs fair currently in the meta? I’m quite keen on their quick attack style, so maybe there are other builds that could be more ideal?

Corsair C3 isn’t very good right now. You can go C3 and sit on it, hoping it’ll be buffed in the future; but as of now, if you want maximum viability it is better to avoid it.

I’d say aim for ~230 crit rate by level 200+, greem gems included. You don’t need too much DEX for that because of Finestra, but I would suggest getting a little bit. The rest into STR and CON though. CON is especially important if you want to PvP.
