Im stuck with my build with some factors

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Now this might seem odd but this is themed but also from what I can see be very deadly in a sense let me do a brake down of my vision.

Swordsman = pure buffs
Barbarian = mixture of buffs and DPS skills
Corsair = opening up the use of pistol and duel attack
Shinobi = opening up 5 pirate clones and big AOE
Fencer = opening up pierce focus and rapier

With the clothing and pistol and rapier but I need to find a pirate hat and I will become the pirate of pirates now I have read into the skills and yes all of them can be used with a pistol in one hand and a rapier in the other to me this sounds badass and having 5 clones following me around doing the same thing sounds even better.

Now the thing I am concerned with is Double Weapon Assault I hear people can use it with a pistol in one hand and still gain a benefit from it just like the dagger but I am unsure as the skill said in the description “Temporarily connects your basic attacks and dagger attacks.” if anyone can confirm this then that would be great.

Stat wise I current have been raising a ratio of.

5 Str = because damage
2 Dex = I have a number of ability’s that provide evade
1 Con = because hp

You won’t be able to use Pistol with just one circle of Corsair, you need to get all three circles of Corsair to be able to equip. And afaik, DWA doesn’t work with Pistols, only Daggers.

Do not also invest much on DWA, it is okay-ish as a filler but really bad as your main source of damage. I would suggest to invest mainly on Jolly Roger, Iron Hook and Hexen Dropper. Dust Devil is only good for its CC, it’s okay to leave it at 1.

Also not all skills will be copied by your Bunshin.
Below are the skills that will only be copied by your clones:

Kunai
Thrust
Bash
Double Slash [Swordsman C3]
Pommel Beat [Swordsman C2]
Umbo Blow [Peltasta C1]
Rim Blow [Peltasta C1]
Crown [Highlander C1]
Moulinet [Highlander C2]
Synchro Thrusting [Hoplite C1]
Shield Bash [Rodelero C2]
Shooting Star [Rodelero C3]

You need Corsair3 to equip a pistol. Also Double Weapon Assault doesn’t work with pistols. Back to the drawing board.

and now I am sad :frowning2: my pirate dreams have been smashed into a 1000 piece’s…

well I am only swordsman two so I have many options maybe I can go to a spear based weapon and push for swordsman three then become a cataphract then a lancer

You can always switch Fencer for Corsair, that’ll give you pistol at rank 8.
