Class/Skill Corsairs suffer from a bad special case avoid formula, make it like all the other classes.

    For some reason Nexon has special avoid formulas for corsairs and buccs.

    Normal Avoid formula for all classes except those two mentioned above: DEX * 0.25 + LUK * 0.5

    Corsair avoid formula: DEX * 0.125 + LUK * 0.5

    Bucc avoid formula: DEX * 1.5 + LUK * 0.5 (Auf helm discount shifter for buccs? :3 )

    The result from this is that corsair ends up with about ~100 less avoid (gets worse with higher level and better gear) than their archer counterparts who build similarly with DEX as their primary stat and STR as their secondary stat. Some players have been vocal about how archers get knocked back a lot due to lacking stance and lacking avoid, but corsairs have it even worse with less avoid and a clunky mount skill. I think this leads to a less enjoyable experience, and is one of the fundamental reasons why sair in reality lags behind NLs in terms of damage in chaotic bossing scenarios like HT despite having something like a 10% dps lead on paper vs NLs. I think a lot of players would appreciate a small change like this without fundamentally changing the class. I do think the class still has issues elsewhere contributing to its low popularity, but that's for another thread.

    Turns out it was already added to the list and is being discussed. ^_^'
    VL and crash fixes took a lot of our volunteer time.

    I will close this simply because we move on in the feedback request post that I linked.
