And its not your place to tell the party what buffs I should roll, I'm smart enough to decide what works and I find it unfair to the people who DO know what they're doing to deprive them of buffs they they'd benefit from just to compensate for the players that don't bother to better themselves.
Again, my job is
enhancing you, not
fixing you. My job isn't to babysit my party members and make them feel better that they're EXPing rather than invest the time in getting the gear they need.

| These RDMs are tools, too. As long as your melee aren't wearing slow% gear of any sort, they should be getting hasted if you'd like a decent exp rate. Haste gear doesn't define a melee as "making an effort to improve themselves". It means the player now has the resources to push themselves further. Ffs, 'bbq. This entire post wreaks of elitism. I have higher expectations of you than this. |
ToA and CoP together give away 9% haste
for free. Anyone can get it and wear it, there are no resouces involved, just raw motivation.

| Wut? Using Phantom Roll + 1 Double Up cuts into auto-attack time as much as activating Berserk + Hasso. Even long-ass Dancer JAs have a long root effect but do not pause auto-attack longer than any other JA. |
So you're forgetting that you also have to buff the backline in addition to the frontline and also forgetting that the number generator sometimes has a sense of humor. It will occasionally take a long string of 1s or 2s to get somewhere. This affects DoT.
Main COR has to march back the backline twice sometimes, too, this affects DoT as well.

| Even if there's a full COR in the party, if the buffs are good enough, you can have 3 going. Let the real COR do the rolls that you profess a pure support class will focus on (Samurai/Fighter's Rolls, whatever) while the /COR does Hunter's. I cry a lot when I get CORs in my parties and they do Hunter's against all wishes, but from someone just subbing it? Why the hell not! |
Because you'd serve the PT better as /WAR, /SAM or even (gasp) /NIN. Most high end PTs I've been in don't even need it from the main job, so why would they need it from the sub.
I think the best situations for /COR have already been laid out, the 20s to 30 and then maybe lesser colibri where eating sushi isn't practical and accuracy gear isn't up to part just yet.
