Re: New to COR, a few questions

My slugshots beg to differ. I'll pull if I'm needed to pull, but I do not accept buffing and pulling as my only roles. This job is very versitile, I refuse to pidgeonhole it as a puller, especially given that for 71 levels, its a really poor puller.

for quick pulling in a meripo use QD to pull as it is instant claim, u can beat ANY brd and at that any job with a QD pull unless a meripo as a RNG pullin with shadowbind XD lol.
QD pulls are a last resort, your pulling reach is superior with bullets

Quote:
think of COR as a brd with a gun.
No, and its not a RNG with buffs, either. Its Corsair.

Quote:
You get ur buffs, u get ur mad pulling skills, and u play a key roll at helpin the party as a whole without having to put to much effort in.
If you're not putting effort in the whole time, you're leeching EXP. As any job, period.

for QD if u are short on cash focus on WHAT U NEED, not what u want. what need for COR is some bullets (QD don't work without'em) light and dark cards (sleep and dispel) and a proper sub :p /nin works just fine but for the true Support role go /whm. /rng will help you lvl up marksmenship with Sharpshot. And if u do infact wanna do some damage SharpShot barrage for damage then Slugshot after.
Dark, Light, Earth, Ice and Wind cards I consider standard. Think like a good BRD and RDM when you approach Quick Draw. Light and Dark for Dispel and Sleep. Earth, Ice and Wind to enhance the key enfeebles any WHM, RDM or SCH would happen to cast - this would be Slow, Paralyze and Silence respectively.

NIN is the most ghetto of subjobs for COR, so useless for the majority of levels I feel sorry for the CORs that used it from 24 to 75. Dramatic loss of accuracy. /DNC stomps /WHM subjob flat everywhere but some areas of endgame and manaburn. /DNC lets you use melee gear, to boot, getting you out of that unwieldly MP gear.

DNC and RNG are really the top subs now. WHM is your best full support subjob at certain points of endgame. RDM and BLU enhance QD via MAB, but also offer curing support. BLM is a luxury sub, but the best MAB sub. BRD is another luxury sub, but I prefer WHM for full support as /BRD leaves you defenseless. /WAR is just purely for epeening Detonator with Martial Gun in meritpo.

COR should on engage from a distance to WS if they want to, the occasionly R.att is fine but its just wasting ur money. The damage u do isn't that effective in a good PT at any lvl. and besides with u engaged on the monster u are taking time away from ur pulls. Having to put away ur weapon then start runnin after the mob is dead will brake chain soon so it is best to get ur buffs up and run to the next mob.
Before multi-hit weapons, melee TP for damage is a waste of time. TPing with bullets will give you superior DoT and better TP returns per shot. If you can't spend the money, go play a job you can spend the money on, kthx.
