QD set



I dont have a good back piece for it atm..and of course, staves and grips are changed out accordingly. Body has MAB+ and QD Delay-

WS set (my main concern)




DD set



Hands head and feet are swapped out for haste gear depending on situation. Rings are also swapped out for Behemoth rings depending on situation.

Commander's Cape is the best back piece for a QD Set Up at the moment. Sucks CORs can't wear Hecate's Cape. ; ;

What did you get from MKD? Could always get a WS Acc/Atk Anwig for your WS set. Denali Jacket is also pretty nice for Slug Shots, given AGI is it's main modifier and the jacket has 10, not to mention the +9 R. Atk. Can also wear the Denali Jacket for your QD build if you're getting resists.

As far as TP. Can't go wrong with the Scorpion Harness, or hell, even the Cobra Unit Harness if you Campaign a lot. I had the body, legs, and feet for my TP. If you're missing a lot, I would look into TPing in an O-Hat, or if you're pretty comfortable with your accuracy, Wally Turban.

QD:

Agile Gorget/Hope Torque for when latent's not active/Light/Dark shots. Someone said there's an AGI neck from campaign, too lazy to look.

+1 Tricorne/Bottes

War Brais +1/Nimue's Tights/Denali Panfs

Scouter's Rope (Why are you using the rope you have?)

Get a Martial Gun

WS:

WSGorget

If you do Ein, get a Bucc belt.

Dusk Trousers

+1 Tricorne/Bottes

Brain lapse on the Gorget, lol.

And as far as Amemet goes, I'm not going to do all the math to figure out how much STR COR has but it's not enough. I suppose it could go either way, but if someone could check the math, that would be neat.

I don't have access to sea so Hope torque is out of the question but I will look into Agile. I don't have access to any AF+1 and with Elvaan, the Wood M feet have more agi than the AF+1..so wouldn't that be better for QD? I use the rope I have b/c thats really the only one I have since my QD set is also my /mage set since somehow I end up main heal -.- Also, how does Martial help with QD?

On WS, I'm actually only a few runs away from Bucc belt, again how does Dusk legs help with WS dmg and I dont have access to AF+1

I guess your RSE would be better for QD, an oversight. Change to Scouter's rope. Meant to have Martial gun for WS, but if you're DDing you don't really want to change guns for QDs, if you're not then that's another story.

Dusk legs help you not whiff slug shot, because that always results in a sadface. It has a hefty amount of ranged accuracy too.

I see. I almost never do DD and QD in the same situation so I guess I could switch out guns np. Scouter's I will def get. Dusk I will buy if I ever seen on AH again (went to buy some this morning...but to no avail)><

I was

JUST

realizing this as I was talking to my fiance and her brother about COR. Was rushing back here to see if I could change it before anyone noticed.

Apparently not.

Will most likely want a bit more ranged accuracy. Pahluwan Seraweels, AKD hat. And his Mirke is QD stats, so maybe Frac +1 instead.

As for OP's TP set, if you're TPing with Joy, why not more acc/haste? Turban, Dusk Gloves, Dusk Ledelsens/Enkidu's Leggings/Sentanta's Ledelsens. Barbarossa Zerehs are understandably difficult to obtain, so if not Shantotto pants you can use Cobra Unit for acc.

I don't DDCOR too much, but if I did I'd lightshot Dia's. Probably not any damage shots though, I suppose. Scouter's is nice. If you're cheap and don't want to get a Commander's cape, can go for a Federal Army Mantle (would have to change to Windurst... if it's worth it to you.). I have one. Inventory -1 ftw... good luck on finding Dusk Pants. @___@;

Probably the latter because that's pretty damn good for QD also.

yea I put a note under there about switching out hands head and feet for haste gear. I didn't feel like including a separate set (1 for rng and 1 for melee) but my melee does have turban and dusk feet/hands and my ranged has Behemoth rings as well as Corsair's frac (for racc) I usually keep Comm Tricorne for the ratt unless its something I know I can't hit, at which time I switch out for Cor Tric

Oh sorry, only saw the Behemoth ring comment for some reason ~_~

Also, don't have to switch nation, just have to pay extra CP for mantle.

Gil isn't a prob atm (unless of course it is over 2-3mil) so I will look into Commander's cape right after I get Ixion cape for BLM. I do mainly dmg shots on cor (really only b/c I only go cor for Kirin, Genbu, and Solo Despot. Everything else, dyna, hnm, etc, I'm blm) and Dark shots.

Edit: For melee set I am also looking into getting a Mkris for when I have to sub nin. Worth it or no?

I'm pretty sure the DMG:47 Magnatus beats DMG:40 STR 4 RATT 12 and DMG:40 AGI 4 RACC 12.

Base DMG means a lot (for both RA/WS and for QD).

EDIT: Threw in the QD bit
DMG does nothing if you don't have the STR to back it up (as far as fSTR goes)

As far as I know, COR can't hit the upper fSTR cap.

MKris is great for meleeing COR period. But why sub NIN? I really never sub it unless I'm soloing something; /WHM or /RDM for most endgame events, /DNC for most merits, and /WAR if merit party doesn't need the extra healing.
