cor/war?

[Skeepz]

Would Cor/war be a good sub for cor

[Neomage]

I don't see why not. Personally I would take /RNG, but Beserk would help ranged attack damage.

[Spider-Dan]

Not really. Just /RNG and eat meat, and you'll get virtually the same bonus all the time instead of 3/5ths of the time (without the -DEF, to boot).

I used /WAR up to 20. It doesnt effect the job a whole lot. /RNG or /NIN is alot better.

[Murphie]

If you have all of the best ACC gear in the game, /WAR is a viable option, but otherwise you're really better off subbing RNG or NIN.

While I don't really like or care for /NIN or /WHM subs for COR, at the very least they make some shred of sense. /NIN will let you blink damage if you suck at pulling and give you a passable accuracy bonus via Dual Weilding Archer's/Trailer's. /WHM will at least give you support options if you really want to play a wannaBRD.

/WAR will let you enhance your attack and that's just about it. Now, at 70, I could see an argument for it due to Warcry, but many melees would be able to do that at that level as well. Its not going to add much to your ranged accuracy, it would honestly provide much less than /NIN already does. We all know /RNG trumps /NIN on accuracy, so /WAR's looking like a really subpar sub in the accuracy department.

Versus VTs you might have something with /WAR, but that's all I could really see for it.

Cor/war using sword and DD gear outdmgs cor/rng in the dunes beacuse of the crappy bullets you get there anb i think cor/war is a fairly decent option till like 50.
save alot of money to lol.

Wouldn't it be better to /RNG once you hit 55 and get Slug Shot? Berserk and Warcry are nice definitely, but if you're trying to get your r.acc set up to where you won't miss Slug much, I don't see /WAR helping you much to hit all your 5 shots from Slug. Acc > All when trying to hit Slug because of its already gimped r.acc.

However, the DoT would be nice as long as you have the r.acc to make up for it. But, I don't know what the balance is there. Is DoT more important than being able to spam your WS and add both together for DoT? Or is it better to go w/a gimp'ed WS but be able to do more damage over time w/your regular attacks. I'll have to figure that out I guess. If it is much better to DoT and not concern yourself w/your WS dmg, then WAR seems the better option. Otherwise, /RNG to help hit Slug Shot better.

Alot of people mention that using meat and equipping w/r.acc gear helps them maintain very good damage. However, I'm not finding that to be true. Eating meat at LV40 and using what r.acc gears are available for my level, plus Hunter's Roll, is not working for me. My r.acc seems to hit at about 65% and its even worse vs a Goblin THF type mob or on anything w/high evasion. So, I've stuck w/Sole Sushi and my acc is 95% regardless of the situation. At the optimal range, i'll hit in the ballpark of 67-72 damage per shot, w/100TP Split Shots at 70-90 damage. Seems alot like when I played RNG and its ballpark of damage. This is vs a regular mob not weak vs piercing. Flys, Bats, and such I could hit avg of 95-102 on regular shots, and 150-175 Split Shots @100tp.

So to sub WAR I don't know. To sub RNG, seems the best. But where's the balance between the two vs tweaking gear and eating food? :)

COR/DRG would outdamage both, because your SJ actually contributes to your damage (unlike COR/WAR or COR/RNG pre-20).

Speaking strictly from a DD perspective, /WAR is one of the worst subjobs you can use pre-30. /DRG definitely blows it away.

Wouldn't it be better to /RNG once you hit 55 and get Slug Shot? Berserk and Warcry are nice definitely, but if you're trying to get your r.acc set up to where you won't miss Slug much, I don't see /WAR helping you much to hit all your 5 shots from Slug.
Slug Shot is a 1-hit WS.

dosent /war give you nice str and dex? correct me if im wrong.
Plus /drg dosent give u the good stuff as a sub until lvl 20, so i still think /war is better though the dunes
I really dont see how /drg contributes to your dmg before 20.
