Is this build viable or would I be gimping myself?

More and more I’m leaning away from going down the pelt->hop3->dopl->dragoon path bc of dissatisfaction I’ve heard from people who made it to dragoon with that build path and found themselves disappointed with the results.

Right now, I’m already at pelt1->hop2, I was considering going pelt1->hop2->cor2->shinobi

Perhaps the following build:

Would I be gimping myself with this? I figure I would get the same benefit of the pelt as I would if going dragoon, having swash might actually get me some party invites and finestra and spear lunge would boost my hexen. (I also left out the points in shinobi hoping to save it for hopefully something better in C2). I know some routes call for SW3 for double slash which is my major concern in missing that. Or should I just forget about this and keep going dragoon? I’m kind of curious how dragoon and shinobi match up to each other currently in dps (I understand that clones are also bugged atm, so I’m hoping that if they fix those that might put shinobi well in the running over dragoon, but idk).

Finally, if this build can work, I’m assuming I’d be going 1h spear/dagger to maximize my pierce damage? (unless 1h spear/pistol is a better option?)

Typical spear shinobi build, really.
Other choice is sw3 since clones only use SW skills

That’s one of the few builds that have good synergy with shinobi burst, but after that you’re back to being a corsair. so you’re not really gimping yourself.
