Corsair Skill Build Discussion

I applied my notes to general case

 Spoiler

120: +1 Elemental Boost (01) +1 Battleship (01) +1 Battleship Torpedo (01)
121: +2 Battleship Cannon (02) +1 Wrath of the Octopi (01)
122: +3 Battleship Cannon (05)
123: +3 Battleship Cannon (08)
124: +3 Battleship Cannon (11)
125: +2 Battleship Cannon (13) +1 Air Strike (01)
126: +3 Battleship Cannon (16)
127: +3 Battleship Cannon (19)
128: +3 Battleship Cannon (22)
129: +3 Battleship Cannon (25)
130: +3 Battleship Cannon (28)
131: +2 Battleship Cannon (30) [MAX] +1 Bullseye (01)

This should be everyone's build in my opinion. Cannon is way too powerful to not max first. I've also allocated 1 SP in each of the skills that replace older skills at level 1.

Get torpedo, ship, and canon all in one level. It will annoy the hell out of you to get off ship or get on to use a specific attack. Level 1 canon > max burst fire I beleive due to speed. Even so, it's not a big difference as newties on bottom + ultimate at top is best.

I threw 1 bullseye early at the beginning but it's not necessary.

132: +3 Battleship Torpedo (04)
133: +3 Battleship Torpedo (07)
134: +3 Battleship Torpedo (10)
135: +3 Battleship Torpedo (13)
136: +3 Battleship Torpedo (16)
137: +3 Battleship Torpedo (19)
138: +2 Battleship Torpedo (21) +1 Bullseye (02)

I'm not entirely sure if I want to get 21 Torpedo (6 targets) this early. I guess I really want a good mob attack, especially since I didn't max Flamethrower in 3rd job. Level 21 Torpedo is better than Cannon on 3 or more monsters.

Torpedo opens a whole new training spot at Crimson Guardians. You can snipe the bottom from the right staircase and you can snipe the top from the top right or left of the map. Splitting the map should be a good alternative to Skeles. Torpedo will also be good at Newties because it hits 3/4 of the bottom from the right.

I may max Rapid Fire instead after I get some more experience at Skelegons. I'd like to see how often Battleship breaks there before getting Torpedo.

139: +3 Bullseye (05)
140: +3 Bullseye (08)
141: +3 Bullseye (11)
142: +3 Bullseye (14)
143: +3 Bullseye (17)
144: +3 Bullseye (20) [MAX]
145: +3 Rapid Fire (03)
146: +3 Rapid Fire (06)
147: +3 Rapid Fire (09)
148: +3 Rapid Fire (12)
149: +3 Rapid Fire (15)
150: +3 Rapid Fire (18)
151: +3 Rapid Fire (21)
152: +3 Rapid Fire (24)
153: +3 Rapid Fire (27)
154: +3 Rapid Fire (30) [MAX]

Next I max Bullseye to improve my bossing ability, especially at Anego and possibly Bigfoot (if Nexon ever does anything about the hackers). Rapid Fire is maxed next to improve bossing at Zak and Horntail. I didn't do Rapid Fire before Bullseye because I don't Zak or HT that often anyways.

155: +3 Maple Warrior (03)
156: +3 Maple Warrior (06)
157: +3 Maple Warrior (09)
158: +3 Maple Warrior (12)
159: +3 Maple Warrior (15)
160: +3 Maple Warrior (18)
161: +1 Maple Warrior (19) +2 Battleship Torpedo (23)
162: +3 Battleship Torpedo (26)
163: +3 Battleship Torpedo (29)
164: +1 Battleship Torpedo (30) [MAX] +1 Hypnotize (01) +1 Support Octopus (02)
165: +3 Support Octopus (05)
166: +3 Support Octopus (08)
167: +3 Support Octopus (11)

Next I'll max Maple Warrior for more damage and finish off Torpedo. Maxed Torpedo is better than Cannon on 2 or more monsters. 1 Hypnotize for fun and then I get 11 Support Octopus to max out it's duration.

The rest of the build is just finishing off whatever is not maxed yet. I don't think Hypnotize is useful at all so I decided to max Flamethrower instead. I may max Hypnotize instead if some groundbreaking discovery pops up.

Any thoughts on my build? What are your skill builds going to be?

Everything else is pretty okay. I'd recommend rapid fire after canon though, at least some to beat out burst fire. My ship breaks only a few times in an hr at 13x taking middle platform. I rarely use torpedo as I dont have the mobs.

Guardians is okay but it's sometimes annoying to set up the party and such. Soloing sucks there i'm pretty sure.

I have to test it myself, but my brother tried to pin BF with canon and rapid fire and both didn't do it but instead BF pinned him, so it won't work for us, but i wanna test it myself before recommending to not try BF

After canon, i got 5 rapid and now maxing bullseye since this is my bosser. After that i plan to get 20 rapid, 30 if i can, then max mw. So far i haven't found a time to use torpedo at skele party as canon gets the job done. Once those skills are all maxed, which is prolly 162 or something iirc, i'll prolly max out elemental boost or get to 20. After that, just do whatever since really, canon, ice splitter, burst/rapid fire, and torpedo are all what's needed to train, from top priority to lowest of the 4.
