Corsair

Am I the only one displeased with Corsair hyper passive

skill boosts?
The only skills that are somewhat useful IMO are Saving Grace, and RF 20% dmg and 20% boss. And I rarely use RF....
I almost never use Brain Scrambler... it's kind of a skill for looks
90% of the time, I'm using Broadside. I think Nexon has pushed that as our major skill. Yet there are no hypers to improve it. I'm not too familiar with other jobs' hypers so maybe this is normal. My issue lies mostly in that Eight Leg Easton used to be the main skill... and there were three very helpful hypers to upgrade it. Now we have no improvements to look forward to making to our main skill. I felt so rewarded when I added the extra line of dmg to ELE... ugh. Why, Nexon?

It's still weaker than it was before. It used to do 590% x 5 with the Extra Hit hyper but now it only does 649% x 4, which is 354% less damage than before.
There's also the increase in delay from 1190 ms to 1440 ms (but to be fair, that was the delay in GMS. KMS had the delay at 1710 ms pre-red so it was an upgrade for them).

RF hypers apply to broadside. This is common corsair knowledge.

[quote=Laperatus]it does but broadside really isn't good for anything unless you have an incredibly high damage range.
I wished we had hyper passives for eight legs easton 4 hit's with a slow attack speed makes it a pain to train.[/quote]

@RxBanditz: Yes it does (says somewhere on Broadside)
RF isn't very good unless you can cap (lol) Quickdraw + Headshot is good and Broadside is completely situational

The good Hypers are Rapid Fire Damage/Boss, all of the Head Shot hypers, and Dice's saving grace.
Broadside and HS are used in two completely different contexts, so they're both extremely useful. Saving Grace is just amazing itself.
Easton is poop. I use the third job shotgun for most of my mobbing nowadays.

@RubberDonkey @Laperatus So you can confirm this? It might be that I'm completely a noob, but I've never heard of this. I know you don't need SP to get Broadside, just RF. But in the hyper descriptions it says nothing about Broadside so that's completely ambiguous. It would be cool to get an extra line of damage per bomb, though.

Also, I only have about 50k range when buffed, and I find Broadside has a higher DPS than RF. I literally only use RF when I have to, for example fighting the annoying Ninja Toad who spams the tidal wave attack, where Broadside will completely miss while he's ducked. I also find it hard to train in certain maps using Broadside where there are walls, platforms, that will explode the bombs before reaching a monster, where I'll probably use a combo of skills instead.

But what about that hyper skill for Buckshot? Pretty good right? IMO Corsairs have bad hypers.
BaM's hypers are ok too. I mean the lv150 and 170 are good. But the passives just suck.
