Heya! Just joined this site :)

My IGN in game is EyesCIosed.

I was wondering why people didn't max rapid fire after cannon seeing as it's your most dominant non-ship move.
Torp does do a great job in mob training.

Thanks

i think that you must introduce in ameherst first

OT: they do because you will be on your ship 90%of the time

I thought rapid fire was mostly useless because it had low damage and burned through the bullets fast. Maybe that was just low lvled rapid fire.

Level one rapid is still pretty decent.
And the +30% after the balance will be amazing.
My burst fire does around 7-8*3 -> 21 - 24.
And I can release like 10 bullets in that time 3-4k each on level 1 rapid.

Maxed Burst fire is better than level 8ISH Rapid Fire.

Burst Fire gets the job done off ship, and most of the other Corsair skills are much more important and beneficial than Rapid Fire ever will be at that level.

As you level up more you spend less time off your boat. By the time you have max cannon, your ship should have a sizable amount of HP. It's not a lot, but it's enough to keep your boat alive for a while so long as you're demounting. By the time you have torp max, you'll most likely have ship maxed as well.

So, by the time you get max torp (used more in training than cannon) your ship has some pretty nice HP. You shouldn't have too much trouble keeping it alive, so it's not like you're spending a lot of time off the ship.

Also, as stated above, level 1 RS is not better than max burst fire.

Our other skills are simply more useful than RS, and are higher priority. Without cannon (...) our single target damage is crippled, so this is usually the first skill maxed. From there, most people either go with bullseye to increase single target damage (usually on servers that are less populated, so they can train on Anego for good exp) or torp so they can mob.

These skills are more useful than RS in most cases.

No one needs to introduce pomegranate.


OT: It isn't a bad idea to max Rapid, it's a great skill off the ship, however, like everyone said, you're on the BS most of the time.

Even from a pure bossing standpoint, cannon and burst fire used with max ship or max bullseye is far more effective than having max rapid fire. Ditto for any variation in points. If you really want a pure bossing build you'd at least max both ship and bullseye before you thought about RF.

And in my opinion, Torp is a far better investment if you train outside of bossing. You level up more quickly which means higher damage at all times and higher HP, far more useful than extra damage during the very short amount of time you might be off the ship.
