Hey guys, just wondering, which of these two (or another if you really feel compelled to recommend one) would fit best in my criteria? Criteria: 1. Has something that their class does to make them good in boss runs 2. Will not be outdone/replaced by the new balancing patches and legends 3. Doesn't have to HP wash to PB and stuff? (Yeah idk if they have to)

Well, I would go with Corsair, they are good in boss runs, the balance patch will make them stronger, and they don't have to hp wash to boss. They're fun and worth it if you can get through 1st and 2nd job with the low damage.

Just answer this simple question and it should give you the answer. Are you a close-ranged fighter or a far-ranged fighter?

Well because you add #2 go Corsair. Slinger/Outlaw/Corsair is getting a nice boost from those patches. @TofuPlague The Patches make Slingers/Outlaws/Corsairs both ranged and close range fighters.

1. Neither really.. no party buffs, but both deal nice damage (with the Corsair dealing significantly more) 2. Corsairs can't really be replaced.. the pirate Legend appears to be a knuckle user anyways, so they're the only gun-users. Heroes are still okay though, they've always been in the upper tier for damage because of their consistency. 3. Heroes definitely don't need to HP wash, naturally having enough HP to for full HP with HB (if not being able to do that at level 200 already)

Corsairs will need to HP wash o.O and the balancing patch allows them to fight close ranged too so yah

[quote] groundonrage : you didn't read #3 did you? [/quote] I think heros will have to HP wash too. I think a hero lvl around 150 should have about 11k+ HP and I don't think thats not enough to PB.

Ship HP is only there to measure how much damage it can receive until it breaks. xD Don't believe it? Tell a Corsair with 12k HP on his/her ship (and whatever own base HP they have at that level) to ram it into BF. xD

What about HP washing for Heroes?

supereric317 02/04/10 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

idk w/e u like, i liked hero cus of their awsome hp so they won't get pwned bad by monsters 1. corsair>hero in dpm at bossing, but u have to add in the ship-breaking corsair disadvantage, and also the fact that heros have WAY higher survival chance 2. both 4th jobbers won't get a lot of good boost. However, 1~3rd job corsair will get a nice damage boost from the patch 3. hero has a better chance of being and surviving a pb run.

Let's say the boat can take 5k damage, and the corsair gets hit with 4k damage. The ship still stays, right? If the boat took 6k damage, would the HP of the corsair only go down 1k since the boat took 5k of the original damage?
