Some COR questions

**Dathus** · 2009-03-14 13:31

So, trying to figure out gear set-ups pre-70, and then thinking of what I'll need for melee set-up when the time allows it.

Currently:

Archer's Knife
Shark Gun
Bullet(tp)/Iron Bullet(WS)
Corsair's Tricorne
Spectacles
Vision Earring
Beater's Earring
Corsair's Frac
Akinji Bazubands
Scorpion Ring+1x2
Amemet Mantle+1
Gun Belt
Akinji Salvars
Corsair's Bottes

What's next to upgrade? I have Behemoth rings waiting for 70, so I know I'm good there, and I have the items to make the bottes +1. What should I be looking for as melee TP for TP burns? I have a Joytoy waiting for me, and @72 a Martial Gun.

**Rasantath** · 2009-03-15 23:58

well, if you are made of money...

peacock charm
swift belt
steel bullets (66;for WS)
sniper rings (if you are gonna melee for tp)
scorpion harness (if you are gonna melee for tp)

Pahluwan Khazagand @ 72 (and goodbye SH unless you got a +1)
dusk gloves @72
dusk trousers @72 (maybe)
dusk ledelsens @72 (broke yet?)
peacemaker @72 (for when you are the puller; you wont believe the difference)

i wouldnt worry too much about your melee set pre-72. you arent there for DD anyway.

myself, i run with three full sets of gear. its a pain but it works out ok for me so far. i also usually sub nin and not rng as i usually end up pulling and cor is a bit squishy.

my melee gear at 75 is as such:

Spoiler: show

i use joyeuse mainhand and when sub nin a Trailer's Kukri offhand.

my shooting gear is:

Spoiler: show

quick draw:

Spoiler: show

and for weapon i usually hold onto my auster's staff, with a light grip offhand (dont have the inventory space for any others)

stuff i am still trying to aquire:

Spoiler: show

Your gear is pretty good. And like Rasa said. Don't worry too much about melee til about 72ish. Only thing I do different than Rasa is I pretty much go all out on accuracy since with March I swing pretty fast. Then again I usually go WAR so that's probably clouding my judgement.

And this is just a suggestion, but if you're the puller I'd use a type of hexagun for the lower delay until you can get a Peacemaker. It has lower damage but the lower delay can be helpful for keeping a chain up.

**Dathus** · 2009-03-16 02:53

Well, when I go to merit I plan on going with my LS only on COR, so it'll always be with a BRD. I won't be planning on pulling.

Already have Palw body, as I've got an assault static and no worries for that. Hands I've got, but what about feet? What'd be better? Denali or Enkidu's?

Speaking of, Enkidu's feet vs Pal body? An as for Snipers I've got Woodsman rings from my other melee that are on hand, so that's fine there. I need to re-do DM for the Suppa. As for legs, is there a better option than Dusk? As for Swift, I still need to put together another run to try and get mine. 1/3, but a guy offered me 1m and I kinda needed the gil badly <_<

**Silenka** · 2009-03-16 03:04

Overall enkidu feet are better than denali for tp because of the haste and attk which is something cor sorely lacks (much like dnc), but if you're having trouble hitting something obviously use denali. I plan to have both and swap as needed, but cor already has quite a lot of +acc gear. I don't know about the legs (cor 61 atm) >.>;

**rlas549** · 2009-03-16 03:32

Denali is a decent piece for multi purpose. Obviously you could do better for ws, in that you could go dusk if worried about racc or there are some pieces like enkidu or af2 that give stat bonus. I believe denali still king for QD and I'm not sure there is a better thing for TP outside of cobra subligar which I use, but is up to you if you want to allow others to see you looking like that.

edit: you could also do worse for ws than kecks

**Psion** · 2009-03-16 06:07

Rule one of COR: fuck /nin unless your somehow forced to pull in a party.

Rule two of COR: NEVER dualwield joytoy with anything, you kill the double attack rate and tp gain from this

Rule three of COR: /rng or /war or bust in meripo/exp

any violators of these rules shall be executed via my automatons blizzard IV... and you don't want to eat my automatons blizzard IV.

**Carrilei** · 2009-03-16 07:15

Joy+Trailer CORs are hopeless. Those who know how to play have been telling them to stop it for years, yet it's as rampant as ever.

Skadi's Chausses? Anyway, yes Denali is strong for QD.. Either it or Nimue's Tights is as good as you'll do.

**noodles355** · 2009-03-16 11:26

Enkidu's Mittens are also a rather solid piece if you can't get hold of W.Hands from sky. Can double up as a TP piece if you dont want to get Dusk Gloves for whatever reason.

Methinks someone violating Rule #1 would not be affected by your automaton's single target spell.

That said, I approve of your rules.

**noodles355** · 2009-03-16 11:47

If you were /Nin for some silly reason, would off/mainhanding something else like Chiro/Trailers/Etc really decrease the TP gain that much? It's not like KClub, where DWing it would give you the same 2-8 attacks with increased delay, you would actually get more hits per round.

**Auspice** · 2009-03-16 11:57

I was forced to go /NIN to a party last night and it wasn't too hateful except trying to pull with a 50 second timer. >_> I'm not going to make a habit of it and I definitely didn't dual wield anything with my Joy. xD

Having been Cor75 since 22 days after it was released, I too rule these as the three rules of the COR Club! This should be stickied on every forum that ever relates to anything with Cor. Fo'serious..

**Kerberoz** · 2009-03-16 12:05

Just turn down any party without a bard. It'll be shit exp rate anyway. Merit subs are /RNG, /WAR, and /DNC if the party kinda sucks and needs extra cures but you really really want to merit.

Yes.

Yes it would, and no you won't.

Buy a calculator, some pens and paper, or a hammer and a god damn rock, and do the sixth grade algebra to arrive at the correct conclusion.

**nitsuj** · 2009-03-16 13:29

not perfect :/

My TP set:

- FFXIAH.com

WS set (I have to rebuy the pantsand I'm finishing the neck...)

- FFXIAH.com

Quick Draw:

- FFXIAH.com

In my opinion, Attack is overrated for your TP set. If you can get accuracy or haste in that slot, do it, because you're going dealing the majority of your damage with joyeuse swings. You're dealing it with WS's. So the goal of your TP set is to get you to 100% as fast as possible, right? Don't miss, and swing faster FTW.

If you're near the accuracy cap and can't get haste in that slot, then by all means attack + for DoT. That being said, I realize my TP set needs Barb pants and dusk boots (and a PCC) but we can't have everything right away :/

Smart man. I always put in my seacom I refuse to pull, and if I have to wind up pulling. I CTRL+ALT+Delete and force XI to crash.

Yeah, completely forgot about those. Barb. Zereh also another alternative.

**Rasantath** · 2009-03-16 23:28

i sub nin to einherjar every time. not doing this will mean i'll be using a lot of reraise hairpins.

and to those that consider themselves "Those who know how to play", which IS preferred, /rng or /war? and dont give me the 'shit is situational' crap, give me examples of which and when. and dont feel limited to exp/meriting.

**Dathus** · 2009-03-16 23:53

From what I've observed by my LSmates it seems /RNG is where your ACC will be shit an /WAR where you're gonna be fine with it.
