What is BS? Broad Side? Brain scrambler...?
Last I recalled, it was called headshot.
Headshot would be your primary, unless you were a godly sair capping on it, then rapid fire should eventually overtake your DPS since it's much faster.

Rapid fire is used for situations that require movement such as in some situations of Chaos vellum, perhaps during chaos queen when you're dodging her fire attack and trying to move to her back side, etc.
Also great in Gollux's jaw

This is also a skill I recommend using in Hard magnus as you can dodge the meteors faster.

Broadside is excellent as shown here: http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2811365
For a preemptive hit in dojo. The shots do not immediately target, so you can do preemptive hits in bosses that require summons such as von leon, Arkarium, dojo, chaos queen.

[b]I find this attack to be very useful in Chaos vellum as well to land in extra hits before he comes up above ground.[/b]

Eight legged easton is useful for certian situations of mobbing that broadside cannot cover. This is mainly for mobs that spawn together, but in a long line.
In mobs that are grouped together, broadside does well to hit them all at once, but if they are in a line, broadside will only hit the first few and waste your time as you continue to hit a few at a time.

Easton is used to clear mobs that are spawned in situations such as von leon where they are spawned in a long line, dimensional invasion in some situations, or in the normal training grounds such as hoh, Dh2, and especially warrior grounds.

Finally, remember that broadside has casting delay so in almost all situations of mobbing, I'd recommend eight legged easton over broadside simply for reasons of better mobility (you can flash jump in and out of it faster).

I hope you found this useful. I don't actually play Corsairs, funny thing, but I'm a big fan of AussieStyle93's videos so I learned how to play Corsair just watching all those videos LOL. That being said, as a Phantom main, I have used and experimented with each and every attack so I have some experience with using these attacks in almost all the bosses in the game.

Corsairs are a beautiful character. Enjoy playing yours. I love characters that use a variety of attacks. It makes it so much more fun.
To conclude.... Keep on no scoping all the mobs.
