Small nitpick but wouldn't taeon gloves be best in slot for leaden and wildfire? You can augment them with up to 25 mab and 10 agi so they ought to beat nilas gloves.

I've been meaning to ask, wouldn't Karieyh Ring = Gaurda Ring +1?

Thanks for all the responses, I'm definitely considering it now. It's between Death Penalty and banana for me, now, which are both for my two favorite jobs, so it's a tough choice. And I know Death Penalty is superb for melee situations as well, I just hesitated making it before because it would get me killed in ranged fights. Now that I can use it in both, I might have to wait on Tizona. Decisions decisions...

LOL! You mean you didn't want that evasion +20 from your snowdim stone +2?! I hate the off target ones the most T.T

Possibly, but I think she dodged those given that people generally select what they feel they need across jobs?
Only guessing.

Oh, also, in regards to Taeon, max MAB augments are 20, not 25 for the armor. Still better than Nilas, but just a little nitpick.

(Actually as an afterthought taeon boots with the same augments would beat lanun +1 and taeon tights with those augments would beat lak +1) I didn't know actually it could go that high, sigh.

Good weapons(regardless it's DP or any ranged weapons) are like switches you can turn on and off when necessary....if you're in a situation that you can't do good dmg for w/e reason, then don't do good dmg. You're the one controlling your character and make choices of your action, nothing stops you from stop shooting if you're pulling hate.
However, good weapons give you better dmg when you CAN do good dmg.

Oh wow, I assumed it would go as high as it goes on helios. I opted for the macc/matk augment I got on mine in the hopes that it would help in incursion (which it didn't T.T).

My desire to pew pew and smashy at all times keeps me from holding back on any DD job I play. I didn't want to have to weaken myself after going to the effort of building a mythic.

DP is well worth it if you like this job.
And it looks fantastic.

It's a portable cannon, of course I want it. And now that we never need to hold back, I might just have to get it.

DP is a very good weapon for the job that uses it. It's not game-breaking, but it's great AND great fun.
That said, if I cared about numbers or changing the job, I'd certainly not have done anything to do with Corsair, who gets the short end of the stick even when they can do damage well.
...it's just that, when you have DP, you still have the short end of the stick, but on the other end of the stick is a *** canon.

This is pretty much the most I'll be able to max out my Doomsday right now, correct? Or should I pump in more Snowdims until I get a combo of Mag Atk and Mag Acc?

In term of performance, tizona is a better weapon though, just my personal opinion. Since Blu is good DD after last update, and melee mythic has better aftermath.
DP looks better than a banana though!

Currently building a Cor and curious if anyone would mind critiquing my proposed sets(most of the gear I already have, but still missing a few pieces) before I go about finishing it. Just want to get some outside eyes on the sets in case I'm overlooking anything.
Doomsday: MAB+17 AGI+19 SS+7(WSD still eludes me after about 10 stacks of a variety of slit/tip NQ,+1,+2 stones. Haven't even seen a +1. I swear it doesn't exist)
Edit: Of course I get WSD+6 after posting this.

Wouldn't Chass. Bottes +1 be better than Lak +1 for Light/Dark shots?

They're extremely close; once again the racc on Laksa should put them slightly ahead. But probably worth using Chasseur especially for Dark shot since that means boosting Leaden. I'll just put empy in there for that reason.

Hmm, I thought AGI, Magic Acc and Marks skill only modified the accuracy of Light/Dark shots.

Racc influencing QD accuracy has been noticed since the advent of Adoulin only. Admittedly absolutely nothing resisted QD before, even in Legion you didn't need that much macc to land a Light shot.
QD shots are basically treated just like ranged attacks of magic nature.

Never knew that, thanks for the input. I guess Chass. Bottes for light skillchain spamming and Lak's when you actually want it to land.

It wasn't verified until the test server was online. Someone got on and dropped their Marksmanship skill to 0, and wasn't able to land light shot and was getting full resist on damage shots.

Don't you mean Ranged Accuracy? We already knew that Marksmanship modified Quick Draws accuracy/resistance.

Well, marks skill adds ranged acc to your gun, so that is why it's even a thing.

I have been gone from the game for over a year. I am looking to keep my cor ready for some events if needed. I am trying to find how to obtain the Homestead gun. All the sites I looked up the main 4 for ffxi did not have much or any info on it. The guide says easy to get, but not how in some of what I read. I have not looked at all the forums, or pages, There is a lot of them. Can anyone let me know?
