Sweet, Corsair PLing will be even easier. I'm guessing phantom roll randomly chooses one of these abilities from the party members. So if you are solo, it may turn out to always be xp up.

What makes you think it only has to be 1 of those? Maybe you'll get the more atk, acc if you're a WAR and more magic atk if you're a BLM etc. but at different strengths depending on your luck. Would be kinda pointless if it's only one of those imo unless the recast on that ability is really low.

That's what I was thinking at first but then I figured it wouldn't be fair if COR just leveled that much faster than everyone else. I think maybe they will be allowed to use the ability on a player to give the party the bonus's of that job?

That's possible. The exp bonus might not be that magnificent, maybe like 5-10% or something. I dunno.

COR:
- Phantom Roll: strengthens party members, can also "Double Up"
- Phantom roll affects jobs in the following way:
WAR -> dmg accuracy up, WHM -> healing MP up, BLM -> mag.atk. up, RDM -> mag.acc, up, PLD -> counter damage, RNG -> acc. (both) up, SMN -> refresh, COR -> exp. up, other jobs unknown for now
- Quick Draw: weakening magic on enemy
- Wild Card: allow party members to reuse their abilities

Ahhh, I can see it now.

"I don't party without a COR's EXP bonus."

Similar to the attitude people have right now about RDM and BRD. =p

FUCK YES.

Read the OP again, about PUP.

One thing that I've been wondering about is what will the Beruan armor set be like stat wise if the only description about it is "self-defence equipment". What does self-defence exactly entail in FFXI? Counter, VIT, or -% dmg?

[Stilgar]

The whole bit sounds like a literal translation from the Japanese, for for 'self-defense' equipment, I'm guessing that's their (mistranslated) way of saying MNK/SAM/NIN.

Isn't it supposed to be a chance skill?

I remember in a 1up interview they said something along the lines of.....

imagine if a WAR is in the party, a COR could use an ability that MIGHT let everyone get double attack from the WAR job.

It is chance, if you have 6 jobs and use the ability, 1 of the six jobs will be chosen by the ability and your party will get that bonus. I can't find the interview now.

Being able to choose what abilities you want from the jobs your party has doesn't seem like what SE wants. They want luck to be involved somehow. I'm just coming up with a perfectly reasonable way that they could go about this.

So following that logic, a party with a COR in it has 1/6 chance of getting the xp bonus skill. But a solo COR has a %100 chance of getting the xp bonus skill.

The effect of a Corsair's "cast" depends on the people in the party. For example, if a WAR is in the party, everyone could get a Double Attack for the round.

[Helpoemer]

New equipment:
Beruan - self-defence equipment
Igito - mage equipment
NPC equipment revealed in besiege mode can also be equipped

Beruan = Blue or Green Homam gear probably

Igito = Blue or Green Nashira probably

go with the trend of releasing used sets with different colours =3

So it does kinda matter if the effect is random or not. If it isnt random, then I see it kinda being used on the same job over and over again and that never changes. If it is random, its just an ability that will help someone but not the end all be all of corsair. In either situation, a PL'd solo corsair would get the xp bonus. And who knows? The ability may end up being used every 10 minutes and the effect lasts for 3 minutes.

But I wonder what Corsair will eventually be? It's great to talk about this ability, but what about the debuff ability? Or will the corsair be an attacker and be expected to do dmg, or end up being a bard-like character.

[Tyche]

5MNKs and 1 corsair @ dynamis lord. Maybe sub in COR after BRD SV's you. Sounds incredibly overpowered for zerg fights.

They don't rehash expansion gear according to memory. We got brand new stuff when CoP came out (which was later recolored, but thats not the point).

Also Janice has a good point about solo or COR pts. If they can fight worth shit it would be awesome. Team up? ;o

[Keftenk]

;-; ill cry if blu can use excalibur -_- (hope they cant since they are pictured with scimtar and falchions and shit D: )
i dont wanna lv a completley new relic >_>

FUCK YES.

That's what I was talking about PUP having separate interface for Maton. Looks like typical gear pallet, and I assume it'll be brought up with commands similar to ctrl+e.

I do hope they broaden macro pallets, because if PUP has to work with 1 set of macros for Maton and separate set for himself, that's gonna be a chore.
