I heard people were saying swordman c2 corsair c2 is the best for shinobi build, is this correct?
The possible combination:
- swordman c2 babarian c2 corsair c2 shinobi c1
- swordman c1 palesta c1 corsair c2 barbarian c2 shinobi c1
It’s too soon to really build anything if you ask me, while we know what the skills do we don’t really know how they actually work while on the field and all that. This is key data at the moment of building a character.
People mention SwordsmanC2 and CorsairC2 because of the Restrain and Double Weapon Assault combo becayse hey, Ninjas are fast hitters aren’t they? This has sinergy!?
But there’s things like the fact that Restrain in reality activates so little it may as well not be used when you actually use it, in other words there’s heavy lack of on-field tests from people who claim that is a good combo much like our current lack of real knoweldge of how Shinobi works.
Is it a good combo with sinergy with Shinobi?
I don’t know, we simply don’t know enough, we have the numbers and descriptions but no real on-field data.
Restrain is utter bull â– â– â– â– xD.
I tested out the activation chance. It’s okay.
The problem is that the stun ins’t even 2 seconds long.
With about 20% chance to stun, you will need alot of attacks to perma stun a target.
Might be enough to stun a mage with surespell to stop casting …
But for shinobi builds.
This seems good.
The idea is simple.
Get some dps skills, with stun and bleed combo (Skyliner op and Cleave too, both get nerfed soon surely. But still op then xD).
Get Frenzy, War Cry and Deed Valor for Atk increase ((youratk+500 atk)*1,5).
Use Clones and Body Double to take off damage of yourself.
Kunais to throw some ranged dps.
And the high dps skill atk one, to finish stuff.
I would like to see what the next ranks for shinobi is.
But it would seem, there’s a off hand named kunai for it.
Auto Atk builds can be pretty powerfull.
I still wish i knew what excatly these two off-defense skill do … i would even take shinobi for my tank then xD.
corsair can use pistol , deadpool build

Restrain was good afaik last time I played in last CBT session. The stun proc is quite high and chaining.
It’s too early to say anything. Even in kOBT right now people are being careful with their class since there are no reset and wont reveal any strategy of their build yet at this point
From what I get advices from kTest players, they just asked me to go for corsair c2 at least.
It’s quite literally impossible to stunlock someone with Restrain, the stun has an inter cooldown for when it can trigger again along it being like 0.5Sec long. Or at least from the findings of my own experience and Cathexis’s testing, them being as far as I’m aware is the more versed person in the forum in what respects to Swordsman.
If you want to lock someone and you are taking Corsair you could easily just pick Iron Hook & Kneel Hauling anyways if you want it for that in PvP.
I feel we may be understimating Kunais, they can be used by the clones generated by Bunshin no Jutsu and iirc hace three charges before falling into cooldown, which in paper should make them be able to dish out some pretty good damage fairly fast.
Mijin no Jutsu is just… not worth it outside of a desperation move as it also damages you as massive as it’s damage may look, be careless and you could kill yourself.
Katon no Jutsu trows a few explosives in front of you, can deal alright damage but the main thing is that I think it has a fairly good knockback.
So… each clone throws a kunai too, to the location you aim.
q.q
Isn’t that… a bit op.
It see,s to be maxed at 5 clones … but still. 5*3 times till cd.
Is a kunai throw pure single hit? Or line hit?
–
As for the Mijin Jostu.
As Swordy you got enough hp to waste it like that.
And in higher levels it even should give you hp back…
11k base atk at level 15… sounds nice.
Like an asura strike, for an class that can crit.
Attribute make’s it so… that you stealth after using it for 5~11 seconds.
Sounds like hit an run tactics xD.
now imagine each clone doing Cyclone.
I’m going to call it now - Anyone who went and had at least 2 ranks of Barb, 2 ranks of Swordsman, 1 rank of Rodelero, and 1 rank of Fencer before going Shinobi will be OP as fck in PVP…especially if they stack 200 DEX and put the rest to STR with a small mix-in of CON.
Your evasion and ability to not get hit will be stupid… And if you have a shield… + the stuns you get from Rodelero that Overheat AND the ones you get from Barb w/ Restrain. My God. 
Thankfully the clones can only use certain skills, and along our general lack of knoweldge about Shinobi we don’t know which ones they can’t.
I expect IMC to be smart enough to avoid the mere posibility of that though lol.
… im gone… yeah…
Hope they fix the kneel hauling skill before anyone goes for corsair while aiming shinobi at that
Well any thing using and expending duel weapons in any way will be good for this.
Corsair c2 that is sure
What is broken in keel hauling exactly? Didn’t go corsair on my playthrough in iCBT2
People/Mob can still attack while being pulled. I don’t see any purpose of having that skill. Not sure if it is working as intended but I would consider it as a bug.

so far i just put each of the hook skill (iron hook, keel hauling) +1 only. probably when it is fixed later, i will skill reset for PVP usage 
Well I guess it can be good in some cases like if a mob/enemy is frozen + keel hauling would do a decent combination now that cryomancers have been recently buffed? Haven’t tried it yet my self so IDK haha
