sounds like greed to me tbh. You just want to use both pistol shot and that new dagger skill along with shinobi clones.
Pistol shot is great AoE, but it sucks at single target without all that ricochet. The new dagger skill looks like it’s more of a single target thing. Outside of pvp I don’t really see the point of using both, for pve you pick pistol shot for a really good aoe screen-clearing skill, while you go for the dagger skill if you want a single target clonable burst.
DWA: Yea not everyone likes AA builds but it’s fun if you do. It’s not even tiring to do you just hold C while tapping Z with default keyboard controls. Also, the difference between pistol and dagger will be another gameplay choice for DWA, dagger will let you hit more things with half your attacks while pistols will give you more base damage and a slightly slower attack speed. In this sense dagger will be more AoE and mob oriented while pistol will be more single target and boss oriented. That being said isn’t it nice that DWA will be mitigating the weakness of your choice between the new dagger skill and pistol shot? Heck you can even do a pistol DWA focus with jolly roger’s missile damage bonus and if what I read earlier somewhere is correct Kunai also becomes a missile type pierce attack so you can imagine what that means for a shinobi corsair.
I love how you use “omhergehd you don’t play corserr” to try and supplement your argument, it’s actually my favorite swordsman class. Hexen dropper is strong and it executes really fast. Dust Devil has a great circular hitbox and can CC annoying elite mobs by spinning them in place. It’s a great CC that’s not obstructive in party play unlike bash or other knockdown skills. Corsair is one of the few swordsman classes with most skills affected by attack speed and it is NOT restricted with its main weapon choice so what’s the problem with asking for a few decisions for sub-weapon?
The only reason corsair is “weak” is because shino-murm is ridiculous. Doppel, Lancer and Dragoon were the only ones able to catch up a bit recently but the changes in Shinobi imho has given a big bump to corsair along with Doppel. Corsair was already decent, Matador just sucks ass and all the other swordsman classes that could compete had weapon restrictions unfit for corsair. Just think of the future a little bit and wait for a new rank 8 class that will fit right into c3 corsair and you’ll see it become meta right away (or if they buff matador).
