Well, I've made up my mind to come back to Maple after a long break, and of course, I want to try a class I haven't done before. From the looks of things, it looks like I'm going to take the Gunslinger path. (Hurrah!) Now, realistically, I will not make it to 4th job. I never have, and likely never will anytime soon. But just in case I do, I want to know what I'm heading towards when I'm aiming for Corsair. So help me, the Pirate community of Basilmarket. Please tell me the good and the bad of a corsair.

Slingers are fast and a pain to train. Outlaws snipe newts forever. And ever. And ever. Then corsairs get (theoretically) the highest damage in the game on single targets. But, the upside is, I think Outlaw is a ton of fun, wouldn't know about corsair.

The Good: Early on youre going to love recoil shot and wings. Tons of fun Later on (as early as level 75+) you have great damage. Outlaws have the best DPM of third jobbers until level 110 when they are passed by hermits. Corsairs are great boss soloers and who doesnt wanna ride around in a boat. The Bad: Gunslingers are somewhat boring and tedious to train without the golden temple(low damage) At low levels a corsairs boat breaks alot Training at newts from level 75-130 isnt very interesting Thats my personal list I dont regret making my outlaw ---> corsair though.

Is it annoying to mount and remount over and over?

[quote] Ceiling : Is it annoying to mount and remount over and over? [/quote] not for me at least. i mean its something that you get used too and eventually it just becomes automatic and you don't even notice it.

They're damage is somewhat low compared to other classes in the beginning levels. At least in my experience.

Everyone mentioned enough good, I'll drop my bad here... THE BOAT IS TOO DAMN SLOW! It's really annoying when boss unpins and starts running at you and all you can do is: a) keep shooting and hope it will re-pin (rarely happens, anego has killed me many times because of that...) b) unmount and run far enough to start pinning again with RF. Basically, you are pretty stationary on ship... Other than that, it's a strong and fun class :3 And when you're training, it can be annoying to mount/unmount every few seconds at first, but eventually you will get used to it and won't mind. Unless you are lagging and it takes you forever to mount/unmount... I hate when that happens

The good: Excellent 1v1 damage and mobbing skills on boat. The bad: The boat.

Boat is negative 20 speed. And you can't jump shoot with it either. If you're lagging, there's a pretty large delay mounting and unmounting before you can attack and if you're not fast enough, you can get killed that way.

I freaking hate the boat it's so freakin slow I mean it also breaks, you look at mechanics suit/tank they don't break... And wth is with no knockback moves? In a huge mob you can't just beast the mob (I mean NL has that push move and bm/mm has that dragon thing) you have to run to a safe place to freeze and kill... how lame And if our battleship is gonna break atleast make the mount/dismount faster... I thought gunslingers are supposed to be flashy and jump all over the place and do some trick shootin... But I regret my sair... No joke

Pro corsair's ships hardly break. My ship breaks once at zak now. That is excellent control since I used to break it countless times before.
