UPDATE: Advanced Guide is officially coming!! This video got amazing support and seems to have helped a lot of people. It will take some time, but I will have it out as fast as I can while maintaining the quality I want for it, I'm going to put a lot of information into this next one, if you have anything specific you want me to go over in the advanced guide, please let me know! :)
I'd love if you explained how to play in lower cap nodewars. Should you focus on going in the middle of the fight or is it more range harass or maybe is worthless and one should swap to succession haha. Would love to hear your take on that.
very well structured guide, fantastic job. will move on to the advanced one after i practice the basics a bit :) thanks a lot for putting in the time to explain everything
Small update: I've started writing down stuff for the advanced guide and have started some recording for it, it's gonna take a bit to make it. But if you have any suggestions for what you want to see in it, please do let me know! :)
I'm really glad you like it! :) - Damn it, I forgot the Artifacts.. I knew I forgot something important haha! The Artifacts I use is 2x All Evasion with 4x Waves, or 2x Ranged Accuracy with 4x Marked, but I lose Lightstones on death as a Red player, which is why I'm using these cheap ones. If you are not a Red player, I would suggest going for Untouchable combo if you're Evasion (Iron Wall, Waves, Heart, Disrupt = Untouchable) And 2x Ranged AP with Target Openings if you're a DR build or simply an Evasion build but want more damage (Rage, Marked, Lungs, Strike = Target Openings)@@aeliok
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Corsair works with Melee AP and not Ranged AP as the class identity when you press P is "Melee". Nice guide and I hope you make the advanced one as well. @@MerquryGaming
This is a very helpful comment, I unfortunately didn't consider console players, I do apologize for that and I will for sure do that in the future videos
Hey man, started today with a buddy - can you advise what abilities are essential for onscreen cooldowns? If yours are essential, can you give a brief breakdown of what skills you group together and why? Finding it hard to identify the icons so early 🤣
Hey! So the ones that are really important would be "Flow: Wave Skedaddle(Space)" and "Tide-Splitter Patraca(A/D/S+F), those are your main s Then the second most important would be your CC catches, which is: -Sea Mist (W-F) -Heart-Catcher Patraca (Q) -Entangling Vortex (S-Q) -Wind-Piercer Patraca (Shift-RMB) -Surface-Slider Patraca (RMB) ^Those I would say are the most important to have, and then obviously set them up so that they're easily visible to you since UI is very personal, and after that I would suggest adding a cluster of your most common combo abilities, this varies for everyone, but Shift-F, Shift-LMB+Flow are very good to track CD on Then your Whale abilities for stamina regen: -Spiral Soak -Whale Song -Jet Stream -Spiral of Dreams This became a very long message, hopefully it helps, but feel free to ask if you need help with anything :)
The majority of the times you're in preawk you're using Whale Abilities, and the occasional rabam / Shift-Q + W-RMB movement. But if you don't want to swap too much you will be more than fine only using the whale abilities for stamina regen then hopping back into Awk
In 1v1 she is definitely really strong, there's some counters to us of course, and it's by no means a top duelist, but in general we can definitely do well. Same thing with 1vX, I do 1v1s and 1vX every day and its absolutely a good class for it, but you can get shut down really easy by heavy slow classes, or perma SA classes since you rely so much on grabs vs them, which makes it hard to CC multiple people Large scale I can only go by opinion of my Corsair friends since I don't play it myself, but she's very strong there I do go over this a bit in the advanced guide as well! :)
Question since the changes that happened recently around Dr & Evasion, is it still Viable to go Evasion on Cosair ? I am new to BDO PC & this class really has my interest as being my main. The fun playstyle and I highly enjoyed Sailing before making to switch to PC , are my main reasons for wanting to main this class. Enjoy PvP as well.
After all the changes I strongly suggest going DR with full AP and a Nouver instead, going Evasion on Awk Corsair right now is really bad unfortunately
@@MerquryGamingTy and also wanted to let you know one of the most helpful guides in terms of Cosair that I have found so far. I am currently on Scholar , tried Dosa ( he was fun) but both are not my typical playstyle. I was a Kuno/Woosa main Previously, love the melee caster styles and that’s a big appeal to me with this class as well the combination of both with a bit of ranged. I think I will go ahead and give this class a go! I was debating if I should maybe make a Valk and run a strong Dr class that had never really been in a bad spot and tag but knowing that it is not really my cup of tea or just make Cosair and tag something else if needed. Dr Cosair it will be for me! I rather go with something I enjoy.
@@daniellesweeney4863 Tyvm! It's a really fun class to play, has great versatility with very high skill ceiling, time really shows and feels rewarding when playing Awk Corsair I have unfortunately rerolled away from her now, due to a lot of personal issues with the class. Was my main for a long time, but I've committed to the Dosa for now! But if you have any Corsair questions feel free to ask here, on my Twitch or using the Discord link in the video description! :)
Hello Merqury, thank you so so much for the amazing guide. Awakening Corsair has always been at the center of my heart and now you reignited my passion for her. Before I tag her, I have 1 question. Can she perform very well in large scale and small scale PvP scenarios when mastered? I am not expecting her to surpass Archer or Ranger in frags but I hope she can get close when played right. What are your thoughts? I believe she is definitely a good duelist as well, minus some matchups. Thank you so much in advance!
I really interested with corsair, especially now that i got season ticket and thank god its an eva class 🤣. 1 question for you that play woke corsair maybe for years. can you tell me why i should play woke instead of succ? is it more fun? or is it more efficient? appreciate it
Heey, welcome to Corsair! I hope you enjoy her :) - Awakening is mainly a ranged spec which I love in PvP, and Awakening is better in most 1v1 situations since you have a grab, and better CC options with Sea Mist. I do play Succession in PvE though because it's just more chill and less APM. Succession is still really good in PvP, and a lot of fun. Just not as strong in 1v1, but I play both of them and I really recommend that you give both a try and see what feels best for you :)
i'm a main awak corsair too, and as Merqury said, awak is more a range dps when succ corsair is more like a support debuff tank (she shred fg with her passive, and is well protected and rly hard to kill when full eva such as striker) Awak corsair is harder to master, her combo are not that hard, but she is kinda squishy and u need to play her a lot in order to understand how to rotate ur skill (S+E, A/D/S + F or Space) Moreover awak corsair grabs is hard to land, pretty slow, u have to cancel it, and never use it in front of someone, the grab is too slow so they can cc u before the grab land, so u have to reposition wth A/D+F or Space, then grab Same for me sea mist, u have to wait them using fg before using ur sea mist To conclude, succ corsair is rly fun to play, pretty easy, and is much more a support tank when running full eva,but bad 1v1 but good in small and large scale while awak corsair is a dps range, rly good in small scale, good in large scale, medium in 1v1. Awak corsair hard to master, she can do well in pretty much every situation but u need to know other class and master ur movement in order to be good, but she is for me the funniest class to play
Combo and Addons makes a big difference, but I usually always PvP with 281 bracket and there's typically no issues with damage. I'm releasing the Advanced guide within a few days, which will cover more in-depth combos and updated addons! :)
I would honestly still use Bomb for the most part, even if you're DR you will still have your Evasion buffs up, pair it with Accuracy Shred and enemies will most likely miss an okay chuck of their attacks The burn is very negligible, and it only procs from 3 abilities, while Bomb procs from 5. But both are viable options, if you do end up rocking the Hand Cannon I'd would be good to also have a Bleed addon to pair the dot with that.
Hey I am still pretty new to the game so this question might be dumb, but can I use it for aos, since I couldnt see if this is for large scale or not:)
Hey! Welcome to the game! It's not a dumb question at all, I apologize for not mentioning it in the video. You absolutely can use the knowledge in this video for AoS, but I would suggest changing a little bit on the addons. If you join our discord I will post an updated Addons list for 1v1, AoS and PvE later. But you can run these addons in the meantime. (or experiment a little bit with them yourself, it can be fun finding addons that fit your playstyle) Discord.gg/4YbJPA9KAF -I will release an advanced guide in a few days as well which will contain a lot more info. But if you have any specific questions don't hesitate to ask! :)
Thank you! This is my current gear: garmoth.com/character/DOb7feevyC I do swap out Sicil+Centaur for V Ogre+Valtarra if I fight someone with really high DR, and Artifacts/Lightstones depending on what I fight too, next progress will be TRI Armors into 2x V Ominous rings, then Distos to V
Unfortunately this would not be ideal for PvE, I will post Addons, Crystals and general combos for PvE to our community discord tomorrow for Corsair if you wanna take a look at that discord.com/invite/4YbJPA9KAF
Light 'Em Up Family's Honor Jet Stream Other than that only the Rabams, I also do Sea Stroll to occasionally use after your weapons get sheathed by Berserkers 10sec grabs
I will start doing some PvE on Corsair soon on stream, I might make a PvE guide on it later if needed. There's probably a lot of info on the Corsair discord though if you're interested in checking that out! :)@@berkaysenel9576
Video is trash no one cares how to build a class for the awakened part why can’t no one get the make a full damn video of what to do an were to go again no one care how to build a class !!!!!

Most comprehensive and well ordered guide ive seen all classes confonded so far, good job !
This is the most helpful PvP guide for awake corsiar. Thank you so much.
That's great to hear, thank you very much! I'm glad it was helpful :)
Great guide going to tagg her i play evasion mystic on xbox 720 1200 eva hopefully i can learn her she look cool
Thank you! I hope you enjoy her, she's a lot of fun to play! :)
very well structured guide, fantastic job. will move on to the advanced one after i practice the basics a bit :) thanks a lot for putting in the time to explain everything
@@BrohunGaming Thank you! Hope you find them helpful, let me know if you have any questions! :)
Advanced guide wheeeen??? Awesome content!!! Awk corsair lack infos, please continue to help us!
It's coming eventually! I'm currently working on the topics for that video, can't give any promises of when it will be released unfortunately :(

Perfect timing :D Just started grinding on awk today cause i want to try it out and now i at least know the basics for pvp :D
Amazing, hopefully you enjoy her! It's such a fun class to play :)
The best guide video I've ever seen in my life
Thank you very much! :)
Actually good guide. Thanks a lot
Thank you! :)
as corsair player really dope guide thank you sooo much
olso u did not mention it but can i know what kinda of artifact do you usally use? and what set up on them ^^?
I'm really glad you like it! :) - Damn it, I forgot the Artifacts.. I knew I forgot something important haha!
The Artifacts I use is 2x All Evasion with 4x Waves, or 2x Ranged Accuracy with 4x Marked, but I lose Lightstones on death as a Red player, which is why I'm using these cheap ones.
If you are not a Red player, I would suggest going for Untouchable combo if you're Evasion (Iron Wall, Waves, Heart, Disrupt = Untouchable)
And 2x Ranged AP with Target Openings if you're a DR build or simply an Evasion build but want more damage (Rage, Marked, Lungs, Strike = Target Openings)@@aeliok
perfect really really thank you soo much this gonna help me a lot,really appreciate it man
No worries at all, just glad to be of help! :)@@aeliok
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Corsair works with Melee AP and not Ranged AP as the class identity when you press P is "Melee". Nice guide and I hope you make the advanced one as well. @@MerquryGaming
Thank you for the awesome guide
What outfit are you wearing in this? love the guide btw. Subscribed.
Very good guide. Thank you for being Japanese but easy to understand.
I use a translation site, so forgive me if it's a little strange.
No problem, I am very happy that it was helpful to you! :)
Great guide, for the next one can you include skill icons or skill names? Its kinda hard to follow along as a console player
This is a very helpful comment, I unfortunately didn't consider console players, I do apologize for that and I will for sure do that in the future videos
Hey man, started today with a buddy - can you advise what abilities are essential for onscreen cooldowns? If yours are essential, can you give a brief breakdown of what skills you group together and why? Finding it hard to identify the icons so early 🤣
Hey! So the ones that are really important would be "Flow: Wave Skedaddle(Space)" and "Tide-Splitter Patraca(A/D/S+F), those are your main s
Then the second most important would be your CC catches, which is:
-Sea Mist (W-F)
-Heart-Catcher Patraca (Q)
-Entangling Vortex (S-Q)
-Wind-Piercer Patraca (Shift-RMB)
-Surface-Slider Patraca (RMB)
^Those I would say are the most important to have, and then obviously set them up so that they're easily visible to you since UI is very personal, and after that I would suggest adding a cluster of your most common combo abilities, this varies for everyone, but Shift-F, Shift-LMB+Flow are very good to track CD on
Then your Whale abilities for stamina regen:
-Spiral Soak
-Whale Song
-Jet Stream
-Spiral of Dreams
This became a very long message, hopefully it helps, but feel free to ask if you need help with anything :)
Perfect guide mate
Just started as a corsair and im a ittle bit overwhelmed by her movements and flows in awak. Do you swap between pre awk and awk a lot on this class?
The majority of the times you're in preawk you're using Whale Abilities, and the occasional rabam / Shift-Q + W-RMB movement. But if you don't want to swap too much you will be more than fine only using the whale abilities for stamina regen then hopping back into Awk
Yeah I’ve seen enough, take my subscription 👍🏾
Generally speaking, how do you think she is for like 1v1 and 1vX in open world, for AoS, and then for Large Scale?
In 1v1 she is definitely really strong, there's some counters to us of course, and it's by no means a top duelist, but in general we can definitely do well.
Same thing with 1vX, I do 1v1s and 1vX every day and its absolutely a good class for it, but you can get shut down really easy by heavy slow classes, or perma SA classes since you rely so much on grabs vs them, which makes it hard to CC multiple people
Large scale I can only go by opinion of my Corsair friends since I don't play it myself, but she's very strong there
I do go over this a bit in the advanced guide as well! :)

You need Sea Mist as the "Core" ability at the bottom of the Awakened skill tree applied for it to stun in PvP
