Because of the update and maple warrior's mastery lvl being 30 this means that 1 4th job corsair skill cannot be maxed. Which skill do you guys think should be the one that shouldnt be maxed. i believe that the least needed skill is the last point in hypnotize. What do you guys think. also would it be better to maybe nly put 10 into hypnotize and also max battle ship?

I think we got 11 free points already. So, everything can still be maxed unless you were gonna max the ship now because of the new cooldown thing. But I don't know for sure what the best option would be.

I probably will cap ele amp at 16 for the 2 sec extra freeze boost...leaving 14 more points We'll never use flamethrower once we pass 4th job...

Max ship. Leave hypnotize unmaxed.

Hypnotize is the only skill in the 4th job arsenal that doesn't really benefit training at all. Wrath of the Octopi is right behind it though. You won't use Wrath much either, its only mildly useful during the ship downtime. If the ship is still up, summoning the octo will waste your time. At the level where you would have maxed octo you'd be one-hit KOing training mobs with Cannon. I wouldn't recommend using Octo to form mobs because that just means you get to be aggro'd by mobs you haven't had time to freeze yet. Leaving Elemental Boost at a lower level is also somewhat plausible, since it also comes so late that it probably won't be a huge deal by the time you get it. (Maxed ship at that level will be very very durable). Hypnotize has my vote though.

o-o Odd choice of skills in poll. Air Strike is more important than Rapid Fire and Elemental Boost. Hypnotize for sure.

You almost never need it, the damage is awful next to Cannon, and it's clumsier than Burst Fire and not that big of an upgrade. Air Strike helps greatly in solo training and party training by letting you kill mobs at a distance instead of climbing up to them. It has the same priority as Torp in my book.

I thought it will bring it kinda close to hurricane if we have SE

Hurricane still does a good 40% or so more damage than Rapid Fire, ~30% with SE. We also got the Battleship update, remember? A backup attack is rarely needed and Burst Fire does the job when it is. RF never replaces Burst Fire completely anyway. Rapid Fire is so incredibly overrated. Just wait until you're a 13x Corsair and you'll see what I mean.
