Bribery Wrote:My Bishop Warahyuu is my oldest character but being a Bishop gets really boring at times. After level 14x there are like no useful skills left. Around level 150, I was extremely bored of my Bishop and I wanted to make a new class. The problem was, I've tried all other classes and had no motivation to get them past level 50. Once I heard about Southperry and Pirates, I decided I would make a Pirate once they came to GMS since they were something new and refreshing. I was going to make a Buccaneer but they were so overhyped at the time. So, I decided to be different and make a Gunslinger.

At that time Pirates were still in their early testing phase so no one really knew about Battleship Cannon's power. Most of the videos showcased Rapid Fire or really weak KMST characters so I thought it would be cool to play an "underdog" class for a change. I spent a lot of time finding out about the Gunslinger class and even wrote up that Gunslinger Skill Build out of pure boredom.

So yeah, once the release date for Pirates was announced, I sold all my Bishop's stuff and funded Bribery, my Corsair. Training was really fun (well, besides those ing Turkeys that Nexon released at the same time). I managed to get to level 120 in about 3 weeks since a friend was leeching his Hermit so he let me bottom Newties/Cornians while he used my Bishop to leech.

After getting to 122, I lost motivation. Those early levels of 4th job were just too annoying and I couldn't stand Newties anymore. Training was very difficult since this was pre-mini dungeon days so I always got KS'd or never found a person willing to share. As a result, I quit my Corsair for a while and went back to my Bishop.

I recently restarted my Corsair over summer and I don't intend on looking back this time.

And there's my Corsair life story.

Dyxanije Wrote:I first started playing Maple Story in May of 2008. My first character, Dyxanije, was an Ice/Lightning Wizard who got to level 44. I got bored of Dyxanije, so I made an Assassin, Xanije. Got to level 47 and got tired of being a d3xlss s1n. I then proceeded to make a Bandit, Zanije; I stopped playing him at level 37. I then made a Crossbowman, NaokiYadate. I fell in love with the class. Cheap scrolls, not many around, and CROSSBOWS. What was not to love? I spent a good 7 months playing Naoki until level 97, where I got tired of Typhons and Maple Story. I had made a Gunslinger when Pirates came out, but I only got AkiraYadate to level 35, then the hype wore off.

I stopped playing Maple Story for a couple months. I came back and decided to train my Gunslinger. Akira is now level 85, I am training slowly but I am loving every mind numbing minute at Jr. Newties. I am also starting to train my Ice/Lightning again because I have always wanted an Arch Mage.

ImVindictive Wrote:I have a more out of the box question, for the high level pirates. What was your original class before pirate came out? I'm just curious how you all kind of transfered.

Er just ignore this if you think it's off topic.

Reflexx Wrote:So most 4th job guides say max cannon. Thing is i cant get cannon 30 for aWHILE probably not till i can HT and get it myself which will be around 160. Anyone know if 20 cannon is good enough until I can get cannon 30 book waaay later? Anyone in the same situation as me? or know anyone that is and how they manage with 20 cannon?

Reflexx Wrote:what? are u serious? i thought all main skill 30 books drop from HT! Even in KMS they drop from red wyvern? o.O also how about cannon 20?

ZottenKerel Wrote:Started (now almost 4 years ago I think?) with a Fighter, simply because I thought that was the only class you could make, also the only weapon you could use was one handed sword and a shield (lolnoobme). I made an archer but never got that past lvl 23, fire wizard got to lvl 28 (lulz). I made a 10/5/5/5 char together with my friend and named them after our old game's names. He deleted it after we got to lvl 12 but I kept leveling it and kept it dexless (about 3 years ago).
Right after I transferred my dex gear from my sader to page (sader was 99,99% at lvl 99) my sader got hacked, so there was no point in leveling it to 100. I continued my page, got to 120 2 days after 4th job was out, and got to 130 paladin. Got bored then, so refunded the crusader (this time over 5.4b value, over year and half ago). It got hacked again.
So I sold the last item I had that I traded with a friend (I had to re-emburse his stonetooth that I lost) and rebuilt from the 1.5b I had left (was 13/22 1slot MS shield). Paladin got to 14x's and I got pretty bored, knowing pirates were close I made it months before they were out and couldn't wait.
Left my paladin the day pirates were released and haven't trained on it for a day since then, pirate all day, son.

ImVindictive Wrote:Er On topic question: The pro's are made obvious for a corsair, but to the high level corsairs what would you want about your class to be changed?

fiftyschmooo Wrote:almost nothing... it's a very well balanced class ^_^ i personally would trade in my high Air strike damage (1200% maxed) for like.. under half that if they took off the cooldown, maybe weaken Octo's and make them follow you around ah la Hawk/ifrit cause they prety useless in training as is. The only thing i really don't like is the lowerish HP we have, i would love for them to have more hp, or at the very least make the hp washing formula for Int needed same as a NL's formula we need liek 40 more int iirc. And of corse... speed this dam ship up a little/make a skill to do so, it's like 80% movement speed, i walk faster than my ship moves, thats a problem for me. I find myself just moving around using Rapid fire sometimes cause i want some more action on the battlefield.

other than that.... theres not really anything that NEEEEDS to be changed... its a great overall class and i enjoyed all leveles of it while i was leveling it all the way up^_^
