Until we get the KMS updates, I would have to say the Barrage+DS build would be better overall, since DS can care of any spawned mobs, and Barrage deals a good blast of damage, as well as a lil invinceability. When the KMS updates come, itll probably change to a mix of the 4, where you would alternate the attacks while in ST, and mainly do Barrage+DS out of ST.

I still got the best exp at mp3 at that level and I ended up staying there until 70, then went to windraiders. I am sure you could make the switch sooner, I just felt like I was getting better exp at mp3 still.

is there anywhere else in the game where the exp is like lower ascent?
getting their yesterday was a peach since i got stuck between the totem pole and a rock wall on the second jump quest map; and the second time i ran into the headless horseman, took the nearest portal and big foot ran into me lol

I'm a level 80 Outlaw going the ice instead of octo route. What are some training places other than Windraiders that I can go to with using Ice Splitter which will soon be level 11?
Another question, should I use capsules or not? Are they even good for anything?

I really haven't left CWK since I was lvl65 or so. Move up to Cavern of Pain after a few more levels, then the cavern with nightshadows and windraiders. Also, mooch as many doors into the keep as possible, or scrounge up the HP to get by guardians if you can. (I'm just barely able to with a handful of HP equips+20 points of HP) splitter has little use in the caves, but it comes in handy with the top of the keep stormbreaker map.
You only need 1 capsule for a long time. You do normal damage with splitter/thrower with the appropriate capsule, with normal bullets you'd do half damage.

So, I advanced to Corsair about 3 weeks ago and so far it's been great. It's completely different from NLs and BMs where you just hold down a button and move back and forth. It requires a lot of effort to constantly switch between two modes of attack to balance mobility and power, as well as keeping up your Octo summons and Air Strikes at certain maps. Fighting HH has also been very interesting. You can hold him back with pure Cannons, or you can summon Octos and pin him, though you have to be careful not to let him gain too much ground while you're pausing to summon.
I'm thinking about making a control vid in a couple levels in the style of Rusty, so I've been browsing Youtube for ideas. To my disappointment, all I've seen are foreign versions, private server vids, and Corsairs who obviously leeched all the way and fail at playing their character, taking tons of damage to their ship and having retarded builds that somehow involve using Rapid Fire when their Cannon isn't even maxed (Rapid Fire is absolutely worthless unless you have 5 or more points into it, and even then, Burst Fire is more practical to use unless your ship breaks).
Can anyone direct me to some Corsair videos that actually show some basic understanding of how to play the class? I'd prefer training vids, since there's not much to demonstrate when it comes to bossing other than proper demount timing and learning to pin properly.
This one's alright, but my Air Strike has a long way to go to deal with Peak that way, even though Peak is probably one of the best places to demonstrate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FhvPlKtr2Q&fmt=18
Would also appreciate ideas about what to demonstrate. I already have some HH footage if anyone's interested in how to pin with Octos.

Already I've gots some questions about Barrage and Dragon Strike.
For Barrage, is it supposed to not activate when I have no enemy in front of me? I know I saw a video of a person who missed hitting an enemy with Barrage, yet the animation still persisted. I guess best way to describe it is it works like Assaulter for me. Is it possible to use it while in the air? So far I can't.
Is Dragon Strike useable in the air? I'm sure I saw someone before who used it right after jumping.
As for both skills, about what level do they replace the respective skills Flash Fist and SSK (Barrage already feels superior to using Flash Fist because level 1 is worth ~3.4 Flash Fists)? for now, my best bet would be to place Flash Fist on the tilda key, and swapping Dragon Strike on the "f" key with SSK on the spacebar when it can hit more enemies.

barrage only comes out when an enemy is there, ds can be jump done like an archer jump strafe, but you cant do it mid air. it just takes so long it looks like you doing it mid air. about replacing, personally i replaced fist with lv 1 barrage since its much better and the invincibility frames are awesome. for ds i started using it at lv 4 since lv 1 seemed kinda weak to me, i dont really know if it was better than SSk but i just wanted to use ds asap.

Hm, that's pretty good. Kind of boring just seeing nothing but Cannon though. I would kill for that freeze range, having sucky freeze screws me over all the time at Skeles and Peak.
Yeah, it does. Burn does 5% of your FT damage when maxed. If you hit 5k with it, the monster will burn for 250 damage for 5 seconds. With maxed Amp, it's 10%. If you hit 15k, the monster will burn for 1500 damage for 5 seconds.

Right now I'm only 123, am I have a bad feeling I'm doing Skelegons wrong. In the mini-dungeon I was only clocking ~9-10%/hour. I think it had to do with me trying to find out how to integrate Dragon Strike and Barrage into my attack rotation.
-Single/double target is obvious: Double Upper/BSB + Barrage -> repeat
The various ways I would round up the mobs of Skelegons were as followed:
1. CSB to start gathering, then: Dragon Strike -> BSB -> Barrage hopefully a stunned mob -> (turn if needed) Dragon Strike before stun wears off on others -> (repeat from BSB again)
2. CSB to start gathering, then: Dragon Strike -> (BSB when needed to bring together) -> SSK -> SSK -> repeat
3. CSB -> Dragon Strike -> Barrage -> repeat (found out it is a fail way to kill. Way to slow)
When charged (BSB when needed to bring together):
1. CSB + jump forward Energy Blast to start gathering, then: Dragon Strike -> Energy Blast -> SSK -> repeat
2. CSB + jump forward Energy Blast to start gathering, then: Dragon Strike -> Energy Blast -> Energy Drain -> repeat
3. CSB + jump forward Energy Blast to start gathering, then: Energy Blast -> SSK -> repeat (this is my old method of killing off mobs)
If only 2-3 mobs are alive when in Energy Charge state:
1. CSB + Energy Blast to start gathering, then: Energy Blast -> Energy Drain -> repeat
I dunno. I'm not sure if it's because 12x-13x is technically the 4th job hell levels because my killing speed has only slightly went up, or there's something I'm not doing right to maximize my DPS. Right now Dragon Strike is level 10 so it's 410% to 4 targets now. Barrage is obviously level 1 at 94% x 10, and Speed Infusion is just level 1.
Can the Skele platform rotation be a problem? My method of cycling the map counter-clockwise is:
1. 1st platform
2. 2nd platform
3. 3rd platform
4. 4th platform
5. 2nd platform
6. 1st platform
7. Repeat

You took A LOT of unnecessary bump damage in the Newts video, but I guess lag would explain that. I'm not claiming to be a control god, I'm just saying there aren't enough quality GMS Corsair videos yet.

Yeah, before this recent patch Newtie maps were unfindable until late at night when I was tired and didn't really feel like training so I'd kill for maybe 5 minutes while recording then move on.
There's a space just to the right of the second newtie where you're out of range from the one all the way to the right. There's also the same deal on the left of the third newtie regarding the leftmost newtie but that transforming golem usually slides for about two days before being frozen.
