Ok so there are a million of these but i'm wondering after the balancing patch if anything changes? I know NL with SE and Apples have top dpm then pretty much corsair is on top from there on out but does this change? And i have over 5 bil funding, do you think that a NL tops a corsair when highley funded? Ive heard rumors that the more funded you are, the more a NL can top a sair.

[quote] shosen123 : nope corsair is still on the top. [/quote] The word that is getting spread around is that corsairs PWN. The TS I can already tell has read the optimal DPM thread. I'm not sure about after the balance patch, but I'm pretty sure corsairs still top NLs before balance patch, even when apple + se'd. Wait, are you talking about only the NL getting apple + se'd? Or both? Anyways, I'm assuming you mean both of them. I prefer NL, because even after the balance patch, corsairs should STILL have a delay on their backfire shot, whereas NL's flash jump don't. And also, after corsairs battleship breaks, their DPM plummets, so there ;P (actually it doesn't plummet as much cause their rapid fire gets stronger after balance patch) Yes I know corsairs battleship will be more durable after the balance patch, but still, they're slow. :D I personally like fun flexible classes, yes corsairs are pretty flexible, but NLs are more flexible to me. So there >:D

[quote] enoch129 : Yeah..but that's a good thing. Less sairs=more impressive corsairs seem. :] Also, thank god for the hell levels for outlaws >:D [/quote] Lol well being crowned as having the highest DPM they better be. I have CWK with a few high lvld sairs and tried to watch their damage but I kept seeing pink numbers by the sea of nx star-throwing NLs in my party. -vomits- I don't have anything against sairs though. I barely meet them as it is. xD I'm just in competition with my own class. F7

[quote] curtisd : damn i thought this changed and they gave nls some stuff? ive been reading a bunch of threads on it but im not sure xP [/quote] The major thing that might change DPM would be Critical Rings. But not for NLs Corsairs or even BMs, but for Arans.

i wish nls would get beefed up since they already cant mob very well and lost first place on dpm.

Lol. I like how it's all Gunslingers defending Corsairs. Anyways, since I wasn't here for a long while, what happened in the balancing patch? Because I noticed my Bandit is a hell of a lot stronger...

Go to spadows blog and look it up. Bandits will benefit a lot from it though.

[quote] shosen123 : nope corsair is still on the top. [/quote] Common misconception. Take into account NL's have inherit SE so there critical rate is not 30%, but around 75% as well as double there damage.

I would also want to know this as well. Remember, along with the balance patch, CRITICAL RINGS will come out as well. Since NL's have passive crit already, would the critical ring boost them to be even more powerful than corsairs(1v1 DPM) with SE and apple?

The balance patch has not been implemented yet. o: That poll was not even needed btw. F3

[/quote] Maybe if everything went right and all corsairs hits were critical (lol, NL's on SE are almost always all crits), then Corsair>NL. NL>Sair. Edit: Yay for quoting myself?
