Hello people, the reason why I go to the forum is why Im having trouble picking a class. im think in Rogue (NL) or Pirate (Buccaneer or Corsair) either. but mainly pirate. I have heard that the Buccaneer not work at 100% not work the Speed Infusion among other things I've read somewhere which is a shame because I really like this Job. about Corsair honestly do not know how good they are in this version Does anybody have any personal opinions? All arguments and opinions will be read and considered.
Speed Infusion is working as of a few server checks ago. My first character was a bucc and I have to say they are quite fun and easy to level.
Corsairs would be godly, but I'm pretty sure ship cooldown is still 6 minutes which effectively kills the class.
While a corsair is aboard the battleship, they outdamage NL's in combination with bullseye. However, this 6 minute cooldown + shitty rapid fire damage makes overall damage significantly lower. Buccaneers have higher damage output and higher purpose due to Time Leap and Speed Infusion. Both extremely useful skills. Keep in mind, that mob spawns do not stop battleships constant damage. As long as bullseye remains on the target, your attacks from battleship will continue to hit, while ignoring the mobs. If we had the explorer update for pirate exclusively, they would par with other classes more suitably.
Because mms, pallies, a/ms (non-ultimate skills) and shads don't matter? They're equally if not more shafted in terms of class balance.
Buccs are in high demand right now. NLs are really good but are a dime a dozen. Corsairs are uncommon and really good even solo, but I like to stress that most serious things in maple are party based so being really good solo doesnt matter.
If you enjoy night lords, make one. They are, and will always be, the #1 damage dealers. Most people--me included--find them boring, though. Both pirates are really fun! You can't go wrong with any choice.
