As far as a COR can do what a RDM or BRD does, well I don't know. I've never partied with a COR. |
Basic breakdown is this:
RDM - enfeebles mob, supports PT via Cures, nuke damage, Haste, Refresh, Dispel, sleeps links Specialty: Enfeebling Best with: Balanced PT. Buffs aren't amazing, but you don't get your ass kicked easily like COR and BRD do.
BRD - Enhances allies performance with static stat bonuses, Elegy and Finalie are the prime debuffs, Ballad and Lullaby for extra support.
Specialty: Melee buffs (March, Madrigal, Minuet)
Best with: Melee PT. Decent in manaburn, but can't match COR's mage buffs. Ballad and Threnodies are nice, but no match for COR's mage buffs and Quick Draw.
COR - Enhances allies performance via random percentage bonuses based on job traits, Uses Quick Draw as a mild damage nuke which enhances enfeebles and debuffs to the matching element. Refreshes, dispels, sleeps. Resets job ability timers with Random Deal and Wild Card. Specialty: Mage buffs (magic attack, accuracy, +hMP), pet buffs (pet attack/accuracy, pet magic attack/accuracy). Best with - Mage PT. Good with a melee PT when played dilligently.COR's unique melee buffs are powerful, but the ones comprable to BRD's are not
RDM cripples, BRD makes a PT a wrecking ball, COR plays off the talents of his PT members.
or
RDM is like balanced, reliable equipment, BRD is like free HQ gear and food, COR is like free merits you didn't know you had.
