Re: Toying with the idea of DRG/COR
BBQ is right that COR rolls are 1/2 their normal strength when subbed, but Malacite is also right that /COR is arguably one of the best all-around DD subjobs in the 22-29 range thanks to Hunter's Roll. Even at half strengh, your whole party should generally be getting +10-25 accuracy unless you get unlucky and land on 8, which is a pretty large bonus for that level range when +acc. gear is scarce.

Proving that /COR rolls are 1/2 strength is easy: Go sub 37 /COR on a 75 job, do a couple Chaos Rolls, and you'll see that the percentage attack you gain is 1/2 what it should be. To be more precise, the bonus for Phantom Roll actually suffers a level penalty of (COR's level / target's level) * normal roll strength, so subbing /COR is the same as getting a roll from a 37 COR main job.

And yes, you do get the job bonus on rolls if the appropriate job is in your party when subbing /COR, although that job bonus is halved in effectiveness, too. Again, this is very easy to test with Chaos Roll by going 75 DRK/COR or any other job/COR and putting a DRK in your party.
