Some Corsair questions...

[Kilhart]

from beehive chips, to bird feathers/meat, to bugards

I think I would cry if I had to do that.

1: Screw you mr "I have money spewing from every orifice"
2: Get on aim, jerk.

3: Mr beehive chips, I know the drop rate is asshole, but if you have seals to spare, Corsair is AMAZING in up in arms. Cor Blm Blm = win. Maybe you should try that for your skadi!
Just a suggestion >.>

Oh, I forgot to log on. My bad.

Yes, cor is amazing in up in arms.

COR PLD RDM around 10 mins flat normally. Stupidly easy.

But don't tell ppl to spam this for cash... 0/75 club 10/75 scroll. (aprox)

[amentis]

Scroll? What scroll.

And really, that's no reason not to tell them to try it. I've gone 0/100 on pcharm, rarely get anything from desert swarm, etc. But that doesn't mean everyone has my ass luck.

Could you PM me your strategy for this?

[Xrave]

There's no special strat. The BLMs nuke it, you Light Shot it, the BLMs nuke it some more, etc. Just don't stand next to it.

I personally prefer Martial Gun simply because I don't have to spend hours unlocking a coffinmaker for what may turn out to be a marginal difference, not to mention having 10 jobs @ 75, I need to be able to mule as much crap as I can.

As for DDing with COR, I used to do that, and yes, it would produce some pretty impressive numbers. Lately, however, I've been meritting with LS mates and I've been using /WHM and not fighting at all. I can honestly say, if your party can't keep chain without the help of a COR, something is wrong. I use Corsair's roll for this reason: You can only kill so quickly, so using Fighter's roll to get quicker kills is pretty moot when you have no mobs to fight. So to counter that, you use Corsairs roll to get more xp per kill. Typically, while being COR/WHM and using Corsair's roll in a normal RDM|COR|BRD|DD|DD|DD setup, I see somewhere around 25-30k an hour. I dunno about you, but I see nothing wrong with that. Let's say you party long enough to get 50,000 exp. If you average COR roll as 20% xp bonus, that's an extra merit in that same time frame. Something to think about, at least.

Martial Gun isn't really a downgrade from coffinmaker...

Meh, beehive chips were mostly when I was a lower level, exp'ing my COR to 75. Bird feathers/meat aren't a ton better, but I've yet to find a more consistant source of gil - I've burned every seal I have, and really no good came from it. The worst was on KS99 - the only good drop was a wyrm beard, but by that time there were no more buyers. So.. My Lv 2 Mnk that I'll never level is happy >_>;

[Deader2818]

Ive gotten 25k-30lk an hour being COR/RNG as well so I dont really understand what being /WHM has to do with getting 25k-30k an hour.

[Faxanadu]

:Ni nin scroll you dummy, lol

[Kilhart]

Since when does ni drop from Up in Arms? o_O I've never heard of this.

[GeneJackit]

/RNG all the way...besides in events where all im doing is QD...I can see going /WHM to meripo, b/c when I use COR on RNG we are usually going fast enough that im not shooting too much outside of WS...so I guess you could /WHM for those "oh shit" moments...but, I mean, I've really only merited at Lolibri camp so i dont think I have ever had an "oh shit" moment...although I did do Dancer's Roll to recover HPs after a few bad pulls.

I think Dancer's Roll is very underrated...fwiw

DNC roll is amazing if you're solo kiting and happen to get hit.

[Faxanadu]

hmmm, wiki doesn't list it either....interesting. I swear im not crazy.

[Vedder]

Yes it is. I always DNC roll before popping Fortitude in case I get unlucky and take a hit or get caught by a random Ghrah casting an -aga spell.

Has there been any testing done on the Conserve MP amount on SCH's roll...It feels like it could be another useful way to keep MP up if a SCH's around, unless of couse rolling the lucky gets you like +5 Conserve MP (I doubt it would be that low, but i just dont know)
--
I always thought it would be cool if COR got a roll that inreased people's chances of skilling up their skills while in effect...we get an exp buff, why not a skill buff eh? I am pretty sure (like 99.999999%) that it would never happen, but talk about a unique buff...plus it would just be kinda cool to have...we need more cool stuff lol (in general...not just COR)
