Thoughts on the Corsair Revamp?
What are your thoughts on the revamp? I'm really excited that my Hp is over 50k now. ELE feels insanely fast now too. x_x Hate that our bossing skill is only rapid fire though. :

Is FA still affected by damage reflect?
EDIT: Wrong thread. Uhhh, the post is still kind of relevant though because this is from the perspective of someone who just started the class.
Only made my corsair a little over a week ago and I've already hit 167 with it and decided it's going to be my new main.
I definitely wouldn't enjoy this class as much if it wasn't for how many awesome movement options this class has. Wings, recoil shot, flash jump and rapid fire all compliment eachother really well and make this class so enjoyable to play. You can manage your spacing against bosses effectively too. You have the speed to get away with flash jump and you have the other movement options like recoil shot and rapid fire to make minor changes to your spacing for dodging moves that might not cover as much area (pretty awesome at bosses like magnus and ra queen/pierre where keeping pressure on them is important but they have dangerous melee-range moves). Also, let me say that using wings to jump clear over a bunch of magnus's attacks is the most satisfying thing ever.
This class is really squishy and pirates revenge makes no sense on a class like us but I'm enjoying it a lot despite that.
[quote=Bribes]I hit around 40-45m with Rapid Fire with a 20% Ignore Def Pot (give or take depending on whether I have the crit damage crew member out)
I didn't take anyone on the run since instance drops weren't working at the time.[/quote]
Gotcha. Thanks! You're as resourceful as ever sir!
[quote=SnailPresident]Yeah its great being able to finally have some more bossing potential. No more piggyback hellux runs
But dang bribery. I have to ask, what do you hit on cvel and how many fillers were you running?[/quote]

[quote=Bribes]The revamp is incredible. It's nice to finally be able to solo bosses that other classes could solo with less funding than me.

Training is so much better with Eight-Legs' reduced delay as well.[/quote]

[quote=juni]just wondering but whats your dojo time? i never get to see any funded sairs in windia[/quote]
around 5:30
I think their intentions were meh since they wanted sair to use the quickdraw and headshot combination more often, since I never used it at all when playing my said lol.
[quote=KamikazeDes]I was expecting more, but this update was pretty lukewarm.
Plus, RF is the most disgusting skill to use against any boss with DR. Even when I stop, the FA will kill me.[/quote]
I hate that the most.
I noticed that when the Majestic Presence first got glitched. If they would fix it, we wouldn't die since there would be no delay from the FA.
It's cute

Just wondering is using Rf quick draw into headshot viable atm, cause the cast time on it is really slow even with decent si, or are we just better of using Rf?
[quote=lazypando]whelp. I dropped like 40seconds off my dojo time even though my range dropped like 200k after miracle time.
seems like a pretty large buff
also, headshot pdr is nice but I always hated using it. so immobile
rf win[/quote]

For a whole hour...i couldnt adapt to no CD headshot being removed, but i'm somewhat used to it now. Is it just me, or do the bombs from our battleships bounce a LOT faster now? I really like the new bombs...i can finally USE them more now lol.

@KnuckleBrown : -stares- There's about 4 of us that are active
I've been seeing our Khaini corsairs(actually our only one) improve the hell out of their dojo time with this buff.
Love it. Wouldn't chang a thing. It'd be nice if we had no delay brain scrambler so we could activate it without breaking Rapid Fire.
Went from a 5:30 to a 5:23 in dojo and i'm on the brink of being able to solo Hellux. Very happy with these changes. <3

whelp. I dropped like 40seconds off my dojo time even though my range dropped like 200k after miracle time.

[quote=frisbeeness]It's unfortunate that we didn't get the range boost.
Headshot is still kinda viable even with the CD when you are dojo'ing since portal navigation+spawn time lets you reset your CD and also the range is nice and allows you to get faster KO's in mid stages.
I checked out JT's DPS charts for after this revamp and it says that our RF dps is actually lower than before, which is weird (and probably wrong?).
Faster octo is kinda nice I guess. I just would've liked a larger hitbox for it.
My gears are either boomed or locked atm so I didn't really have the opportunity to test out the revamp that much.[/quote]
Only problem with me is that I don't dojo. : I'll have to agree with the hitbox though. The hit box on our skills are so small horizontally and vertically. It would be nice if they allowed for Broadside's bombs to pass through mobs.

I mean they do get a 150% damage increase....., plus rapid fire is way more fun to use than headshot in my opinion.
