    COR as subjob broken?

    i haven't seen this mentioned on any thread yet, i apologize if it's buried somewhere and i missed it.

    on a lark i brought /COR to an NM camp for the extra XP from killing placeholders. we had an alliance of all 75's there so i could compare XP for corsair's roll to unbuffed people easily.

    i rolled 11 twice and both times both my party and the other alliance party got the exact same xp.

    this was a real disappointment to me, as i expected the buff to work as /COR just as well as COR main. in no other job does it weaken the job to have it sub instead of main, assuming the levels are the same (and no access to 2-hour, items, etc). for example, as a 37BRD, your songs will be exactly the same as 75something/37BRD. so it sucks that COR doesn't work the same way.

    It did work, I know that much for sure. When the job was first released I was powerleveling my friends Blue Mage as WHM/COR with a Bard so he was getting level 75 songs and the exp bonus. I haven't tried it since then but wasn't there a patch that "adjusted BLU, COR and PUP when used as support"?

    Except that /sam yields not 100% TP on meditate and i'm sure there is something with ninja sub doesn't give Utsus:Ni its full effect.

    been awhile since i was ingame, but that is indeed a false statement.

    Also, there's plenty that's gimped from subbing than having a 37 main job. Meditate returns less tp, Blink only absorbs 2 instead of 3, Utsu Ni only absorbs 3 instead of 4, etc.

    Lets not forget souleater (does anyone care about /drk's anyhow outside of STUN?)

    Subbed Meditate=60% TP
    Subbed Utsu: Ni=3 Shadows
    Subbed SoulEater=10% HP reduction but only half of that HP is converted to damage
    Subbed SA=Normal Crit, not DEX modified
    Subbed TA=Hate Transfer with no bonus on crits.

    That's all I can remember off the top of my head.

    They might if souleater sub wasn't a joke. THF/DRK SE+DE With hate on tank would be fuckin rediculous.

    Definetly have to agree with Maxx here, THF/DRK planting WSs on with Souleater is absolutely sick damage.

    It requires full use of another job for the entire fight and still isnt as good as a DRK using Ridill/KClub/Even 2 fucking daggers, not to mention the shittiness of the sub during the rest of the dynamis. No thanks.

    The difference is, if you are /cor the buff is extremely gimped rather than had you been cor/

    Think of it as somone using /brd. I dont get it though, it's not like COR use instruments to make them better, My attack bonus for corsair should be working off a %, but it gave a monk a 7 attack boost, which is pathetic. EXP bonus, I got 2 more exp per mob, woo.

    Hey, people can kill Wyrms with ease nowadays but that doesn't stop them from saying SMN onry. And pulling hate, which using anything you use a DRK sub for would do, on those NMs is death.

    Yeah, because the MNK is going to use Souleater + Hundred Fists on all 15 Pop NMs, the Eyes, the Dragons, Yin, Yang, and the Dynamis Lord.

    Read the update. This isnt a mystery, and I am surprised you even thought you would get the same bonus as /COR as COR. They flat out said it on 4/18/06:

    Directly from POL:

    -The Phantom Roll effects of a character with corsair set as a support job are weaker, and do not gain the bonus effect from the presence of the applicable main job in the party.

    So the xp increase would be gimped by game mechanics..not a glitch. Now, for your situation...perhaps the bonus was so small that once the alliance penalty was applied, the number from Corsair Roll was <1, and we know SE doesn't round up. Therefore, if xp bonus worked out to <1, then you would get no bonus.

    ah that would explain it. i never saw that patch note . not that /BRD is very useful but at least you can haste or ballad 1. /COR seems completely useless that's too bad

    Blink used to be 3 shadows a veeery long time ago. It magically got reduced to 2 shadows after some patch, with absolutely no mention of it in the patch notes. Garuda's Aerial Armor still gives 3 shadows, but the whie magic "Blink" now only gives 2 shadows whether you are RDM or WHM main or sub.
