I for one got 1 battleship 1 cannon and 1 rapid fire but I've heard other opinions as well such as RF octo and ele boost first or a mix. I'm just putting a point into everything first then maxing cannon XD

I'm planning on going 1 Rapid Fire, 1 Air Strike, 1 Wrath of Octopi. Then I'll get 1 Element Boost for longer freeze and start working on ship cannon/1 ship

I'm planning to do 1 battleship, 1 cannon, and 1 torp since the Battleship is my main motivation for corsair... (I'M ON A BOAT.) or not for that I'd put 1 Elemental Boost, 1 Air Strike, and 1 Wrath Of Octopi*.

For me, since I like to do HH, and cannon is just fast enough to 100% KB (Like keep him from hitting you), I plan on doing, 1 elemental boost, one ship, and one cannon.

Level 1 Cannon isn't fast enough. You need level 11 Cannon for it to hit 4 times. The ship is really useless at 120, I'd wait until 121 to get it.

You get ship at 120 because everytime your character levels the ship gains an extra 2k hp. If your training at newts the octos help alot until u get a higher lvl of cannon. I did 1 ship 1 cannon and 1 octo but that was back when RF had bad damage. I would say put 1 ship 1 cannon 1(ele or octo).

If you put ship to Lv1 at 120, or if you did it at 130, your ship would have the same exact HP. The ship's HP isn't calculated by levels gained after acquiring the skill, the calculation is already set in stone the moment you reach 120, regardless of when you actually get the ship. The game calculates your ship's HP normally even if you don't have the skill yet, so getting it later will not hurt you. It'll just make you finish off Cannon slightly later, which is enough to make some people want ship asap at 120. ---- That aside, You definitely want to have 1 ship and 1 cannon as soon as you can. Despite the % damage difference, Lv1 Cannon does out-damage maxed Burst Fire over time because its 88 attacks per minute versus around 100 with Cannon. For whoever said he planed to train on HH's, yes Cannon earlier will speed the kill up a bit. Though, HH is easy as hell to kill either way. Personally, I'd recommend 1 ship, 1 cannon, 1 air strike at 120. At 121 I did 1 wrath, 1 torp, and 1 elemental boost. In retrospect, I don't use my octos nearly enough to really say that wrath made much difference, BUT I will say its helpful if your ship is cooling. (If you're somewhere like newties, you can drop one while you wait for the re-spawn if you're not on your ship). Lv1 Air Strike is useful, but use it with moderation, as the extra aggro can kill you in some places (Skels.) Lv1 Torp is pretty darn helpful (though it really shines at Lv21+)

^Your ship has 4k HP at level 120, though. To actually be able to use it without it breaking in 3 hits means you'll be getting in and out of it so much it's not even worth the slight damage boost. Burst Fire is ~87 shots per minute and Cannon is 95, by the way.
