The Pirates' Lair: A Guide to Corsair
For standing back and shooting/using QD and magic WS mainly, would Eosuchus Club be the best? MDmg+100, MAcc+10, and Magic Acc Skill +215
12 agi and 10 mab on Atoyac still wins.
Does a double attack augment on Doomsday apply to your melee attacks or does it work like double shot? Or does it not do anything at all? I thought I'd seen it mentioned around here somewhere but I can't seem to find the post.
Yeah it's da for melee hits.
Figured as much but wanted to be sure, thanks.
So I'm having a bit of trouble with rings on my gearswap. I've got Zodiac replacing different rings, and I think it's giving me issues.
Relevant code: Code sets.precast.WS['Leaden Salute'] = {ammo=gear.MAbullet,
head="Pixie Hairpin +1",neck="Stoicheion Medal",ear1="Moonshade Earring",ear2="Friomisi Earring",
body="Lanun Frac +1",hands="Thur. Gloves +1",ring1="Archon Ring",ring2=gear.ElementalRing,
back="Argocham. Mantle",waist=gear.ElementalObi,legs="Shned. Tights +1",feet="Lanun Bottes +1"}
sets.precast.WS['Wildfire'] = {ammo=gear.MAbullet,
head="Fugacity Beret +1",neck="Stoicheion Medal",ear1="Novio Earring",ear2="Friomisi Earring",
body="Lanun Frac +1",hands="Thur. Gloves +1",ring1="Arvina Ringlet +1",ring2=gear.ElementalRing,
back="Argocham. Mantle",waist=gear.ElementalObi,legs="Shned. Tights +1",feet="Lanun Bottes +1"}
sets.midcast.CorsairShot = {ammo=gear.QDbullet,
head="Fugacity Beret +1",neck="Stoicheion Medal",ear1="Novio Earring",ear2="Friomisi Earring",
body="Mirke Wardecors",hands="Nvrch. Gants +2",ring1="Fenrir Ring +1",ring2=gear.ElementalRing,
back="Argocham. Mantle",waist=gear.ElementalObi,legs="Shned. Tights +1",feet="Nvrch. Bottes +2"}
Code -- Define proper defaults for weaponskills that use obis
if spell.english == 'Leaden Salute' then
gear.default.obi_waist = "Light Belt"
gear.default.obi_ring = "Arvina Ringlet +1"
elseif spell.english == 'Wildfire' then
gear.default.obi_waist = "Aquiline Belt"
gear.default.obi_ring = "Garuda Ring"
elseif spell.type == 'CorsairShot' then
gear.default.obi_waist = "Aquiline Belt"
gear.default.obi_ring = "Fenrir Ring +1"
end
Full code here. Is it possible to clean this up better? I'm pretty sure I've got the Zodiac ring replacing the right slots, but am I replacing the wrong rings? Since I play RNG too, I have a look over in their forum on occasion and there appears to be a difference of opinion on MDmg vs. MAB for magical WS between this forum and that one:
http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/44180/wildfire-trueflight-gear-sets/#2688107 http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/38352/power-rangers-a-guide-to-pewing/66/#2691499 If possible, could someone have a look and see if we can get to the bottom of whether or not MDmg surpasses MAB, and if so at what levels? I'd like to have Wildfire/Leaden/Trueflight sets that are consistent across jobs and right now there is a discrepancy between job forums. Easy to calculate magic ws formulas.
Either way I don't see this discrepancy, mdmg isn't the best option here either for the most part. Only place where it's ideal is Fenrir+1 rings for QD.

True, I was not suggesting there was a major difference, but for example you suggest Crematio/Friomisi combo for Ear and Valli suggests Friomisi/Novio.
Is that a personal preference type of thing or is it due to the different gear in other slots between RNG & COR that make the Ear slots different? I'm just hoping to not have to gear RNG & COR differently for Wildfire. :P Difference between Novio and Crematio for WF is like 10 dmg. No biggie.
Use neither for Leaden. Since Leaftip+1's crashed in price, decided I would try a bunch.
 First stone. Do we have a viable Exenterator build? I have not read through all 58 pages :)
dagger ws on cor ... useless stop play cor and play thf or dnc or stop play that game ...

Ragnarok.Haorhu said: » dagger ws on cor ... useless stop play cor and play thf or dnc or stop play that game ... Wtf did I just read.......exen isn't completely useless.

It's piercing same as Last Stand, so it really offers about nothing in terms of versatility.
Requiescat has that once in a lifetime chance of being useful so if you're fighting low stuff and don't wanna waste bullets that's still more convenient to have unlocked if you gotta chose. The only reason to use Exent at all is if you already have thf and dnc and thus have it unlocked for those, but it's the bottom priority for cor.

Ragnarok.Haorhu said: » dagger ws on cor ... useless stop play cor and play thf or dnc or stop play that game ... Well not what I asked internet tough guy. Thanks Sehachan I have it 5/5 I do not have the sweet sword yet currently working on it. I really only wanted to set it up for completeness sake is all. I primarily use daggers on Cor for the time being.
I understand, I'm just explaining why I didn't bother putting one on the front page.

Exent is also decent on fodder mobs if your trying to save bullets or are solo farming CP and have ran out of bullets.

You can self light with exen, which do more dmg than use last stand twice I think. Last stand is fusion/reverberation, do 2x of them doesn't SC. Exen is fragmentation, which light with fusion.
I often farm pw pop on cor cuz I run faster that way, exen is easy 5k dmg without chaos nor need to worry about dark resist. Since you don't need chaos roll for it to pop 5k avg on fodder, your 2nd roll can be allies roll or something when soloing fodder. I use it more often than req personally, idk why it's instantly being dismissed as "completely useless or stop playing the game". It's not a must have for the job or anything, it's just not useless to a point to tell others stop playing FFXI.

Ahoy thar shipmates,
Just returned to the game and am revamping my Cor ready for use, but a question: When last I played, Corsairs were occasionally asked to /whm for events to extend our support role with -na's, erases, hastes etc. etc. Is this still a thing? And if so, might anyone be able to share relevant gearsets, such as MP+ mixed on their idle gear? Cheers! Edit: Also might apply to the /rdm emphasis I've been seeing here and there. Whm is sub is rarely needed, let alone required. In most events you can melee subing either dnc to add even more support, or nin if there's danger of one-shot moves.
Fast cast and cure sets are on the main page, max mp I never bothered with one. So for Light and Dark shot isnt Waylayers Scarf +1 better than Faith Torque?
Anyone else digging on Scopulti Nails +1 for their r.attack sets?
Slight hit to acc but I'll take all the recycle I can get.
[+]
exen is useful if you're doing tenzen, ealdnarch, etc.. you gotta be in range for steps anyway, you'll have madrigals anyway, may as well use a ws that'll land
unless the ws patch made leaden actually stick on vd, in which case i stand corrected
[+]
All those increases to weapon skill ratings and COR doesn't get an increase to marksmanship skill, boo I say! Boooooooo!
Now that SE would design future content based on the fact that every DD gets A+ skill, COR would have hard time to catch up acc wise :<
