    4 hit slug build for cor?

    I been thinking about this for awhile, how feasible is a 4 hit build for slug shot or more importantly a 5 hit build for use with Death Penalty. I know that most cor's use melee tp builds as opposed to shooting for tp. I leafed through the shooting for tp vs. melee tp thread and I didn't see a 4 or 5 hit build mentioned so I thought it worth bringing up. So basically I am wondering:

    A. Is it feasible?

    B. Would the parse be equivalent or exceed melee build?

    For the purposes of this assume 4 hit for Slug / detonator using Martial gun.

    Best Corsair I know melees like this

    COR Melee Set - FFXIAH.com

    and uses WS like this

    - COR WS Set - FFXIAH.com

    Pops weaponskills off at over 2k when properly buffed. I have screenies in my forumz somewhere, but i'd have to check if he'd be ok w/ me posting them.

    Edit: he usually is COR/DNC in meripo party. Just wanted to add that for clarity. As to your 4hit/5hit build question, I don't really have an answer, but maybe these gearsets will help?

    Ya I know most use melee for tp, my ws gear will look very similar to that. However what I am asking is Melee TP vs. Shooting TP using 4 hit build with martial.

    You'd need 49 store tp to do that, it's pretty much impossible without SAM roll.. 5hit is 19 stp which is very easily reached(mekki, rajas, enkidus subligar, cobra feet). Either way, you'll build tp faster meleeing as in most situations you're even DDing on cor you have marches(merit parties lawl).

    Ya i was figuring in order to get it down to 4 Sam Roll would be included. Ideally there would be enough surplus over that a full gear switch would be used for slug while still maintaining the tp gain. Corsair is my main hobby job outside of blue mage, and the fairly low practical value of blue mage in most circumstances is turning it an assault / nyzul only thing.

    the way i used to merit is something like RDM BRD BRD COR/NIN WAR/SAM DRG/SAM
    buffs were almost always including a sam roll, no reason not to have them really, as for tp setups this should be a good thing to aim for: - FFXIAH.com idk why but it won't let me switch around weapons should show as joyeuse in the main hand and kris offhand.

    edit: could probably get away with rajas ring since you probably should be eating sushi on corsair

    I REALLY hope that's a typo and he meant to put Commodore Belt instead of Corsair's Belt.
