Suggestions: 

Corsair players are grateful for the buffs and quality of life changes the class got some months ago, but Corsair is still on the weak side.

Together with other experienced Corsair players, we have come to some ideas that might make the class more satisfying, without making it unbalanced.

> The skill Absolute: Whirling Slash has a +9% accuracy buff that is hardly ever used by Awakening, since it goes against the gameplay of the class and is hard for it to keep swapping between pre-awakening and awakening. Put that accuracy buff in an Awakening skill too.

> Awakening Corsair has only a few Super Armor skills since the Super Armor effect on Pirate's Life For Me was removed. We suggest to remove the Bound effect on Close Quarters: Charge, and give it Super Armor instead.

> All other classes are getting increasingly speed, damage and range, and Corsair is getting behind in terms of damage in both PvE and PvP. It would be good for the class either to give it some more damage in a reliable skill; Or give it an Attack Speed buff on an Awakening skill. Suggestion: Give an Attack Speed buff to Spare No Quarter!, since that skill is outdated in both speed and damage, and didn't get any changes since release.

 > Mareka skills need to be faster now that there is way more damage in the game than when those stationary skills were designed. They are too slow and Corsair gets easily killed if staying stationary using the Mareka skills.

> Her Scallywags otters she summons are outdated in damage, since we have been getting the Slumbering Armor set that gives Monster Damage Reduction, and that stat gives defense against pets and summons. Our beloved otters could get either some more damage or utility.

Bugs
______
1) Fix standup bug that keeps you cc'd even after you could stand up. This happens to more than just corsair. but in a different form. for most other classes their weapons will simply get steathed

2) Fix the bug that doesnt let us use Sea stroll during Shift Q if you've used any dash before Shift Q

3) Fix Tide splitter. is become more and more of an issue. getting cc'd, grabed out of that skill. the skill was very reliable when it first released for like half a year. then suddenly you would get cc'd out of it constantly. its like the same lvl of bugged as the Whaleskills used to be

4) Fix Anchor not actually hitting enemy players when the skill is being used on siege fences. If Auto Aim is on the Anchor will simply drop on your own head but the Flow will hit them just fine right after

QOL
_____

5) Change the Accuracy buff to an awakening skill. 

6) Remove Downsmash on Earth Render, that skill does more harm than actually help. its just like hashs Dune Slash flow. 

7) Let Wipe Out, Storm Surge and Sun Shielder regen Stamina. the class already has up to 15+ Stamina skills out of which 10 and more are used frequently. there basically is never a moment where you regen stamina without the risk of getting cc'd the only exceptions are Whale skills. which are all easy punishable as well

8) Make Whales faster or at least heavily reduce the dive animation for Jet Stream, Sea of Dreams and Spiral Soak

9) Melee skills feel very clunky after most ranged abilities. they have no flow compared to when u used ranged skills after melee skills

10) Same goes for other skills in certain situations
 - Seam Mist from pre awak
 - Oceans Melancholy from awak
 - Whale skills in general. Jet stream requires you to stand almost still to be used compared to succ. just makes it feel terrible if youve played succ before
 - Rabams

11) An indicator on the quickslot when labao is actually up. he takes his sweet time to appear at times so you think he's gone. just to send him away because he literally teleported the second you press the skill

12) Reduce the height you have to fall down from to get the falling animation when S+E is used in awakening

13) Lets us dash off a cliff. everytime you just get rubberbanded back onto the cliff. 

Buffs 

14) further increase the speed on the grab animation. it already isnt used in the same way as pretty much every other grab. but it still being so slow after you had to go through 1 out of many different long skills that can cancel it. just sucks

15) Reduce Cd on Riding Waves from 3 -> 2 Seconds. increase dash distance and/or reduce the stamina cost to 100-150. that skill has not right to cost 200 for being a short distance SA 

16) Mareca Swing CD 4 -> 3 to match the cd on Smooth Sailing which is 2 seconds

17) Plenty other CD reductions are overdue. they have not been adjusted once. all we got was cd increases on lots of skills like shift rmb. F (twice) 
 - Wave Blast. make it Match with Vigor rush. its a really amazing Pve Combo but 15s is a lot
 - Crows Mark
 - Close Quarter Charge
 - Tide Splitter
 - Jet Stream and other whale skills 

18) Some more bonis to ebuff would be nice. 5-10% accuracy and like 20-30% ignore res would really fit to her theme. 

19) Add 2-3 Extra hits to 25% BSR Close Quarter Charge. 

20) Labao is still too slow in 8/10 cases. and give him some other values other than failing to give you the heal and pa. like give the other otters a slight dmg buff or more utility while hes summoned. he already uses up 1/5 otter slots 

21) Melee skills are missing the kick to make em actually more worth using than a simple ranged combo in most cases. 
they are all unprotected. but you dont get rewarded for using them because their dmg is inferior than to simply drop an anchor 

22) Either do 7) or Reduce/Remove on the following skills

 - Spare no Quarter 250 Stamina. doesnt even move you a lot. reduce to 100-150 or at least Add a SA to the FG as well the dmg is also really bad
 - Mareca Swing 200 -> 150, make it cost 200 if use in awak with the S+E input. as this one is far better and provides more than a 0.5s iframe 
 - Riding Waves 200 -> 150
 - Oceans Melancholy 200 -> 100-150 its just a FG....

One last thing. give us one awakening skill that can deal good dmg. while being quick and SA 

its too much. but id really like to see her getting less clunky. getting some reduced cd's, bufs being fixed and her stamina more managable. or give every other class some costs as well. and not let em iframe or run for literally forever with 0 downside. while we have skills costring 250 stamina for a crappy FG

Up for visibility, Corsair really needs some work.
