Adoulin Corsair Gear?

Have I missed something, or does it seem like we were forgotten? No new bullet.. Cant find any new MAB gear.. Whats the deal? =/

Plenty of good wildfire/last stand gear.

Like?..

Thanks for link. Looked through the items there. Not a single +MAB Item was to be found that Corsair could use. Nor are any of the new bullets usable by corsair.. So the question still stands.. What did we get?

Read the Corsair guide thread. It is already updated with the new stuff.

In short, while there is no new MAB gear, there are several pieces with more AGI+ than you can get with the Thaumas set, even when factoring in the set bonus.

An extra 12 Agility for Wildfire? Not impressed.. Granted from what i've read those pieces arent too hard to get.. Still not very game changing.

Dont understand why we couldn't have been given a bullet, or perhaps even a decent alternative to using a damned staff. (why do we even have dagger/sword skill again?...)

There's always been a decent alternative to using a staff, it's called box step and haste samba XD

/DNC and use daggers to melee has always been very useful for haste samba/box step, if you have march you can do quite a lot of dmg yourself, plus extra dmg your pt member can do from box step/haste samba.

This update also gives new dagger with haste, according to spreadsheet, using nightmare DC as target:

Aluh+Coruscanti + Skadi head/hands/legs, Thaumas body, Sigyn feet, windbuffet belt, Rajas/epona, Rancor, Atheling mantle, suppa/brutal

is still stronger dagger combo with capped haste melee set. If you don't have Coruscanti, new haste dagger seems to beat Lux Pugio for offhand. If your fSTR is capped, that extra haste also allow you to use Wurrukatte boots for extra crit-rate and still cap haste.

Yes a corsair can eat curry and shred dynamis mobs with exenterator better than their gun ws but Larai 's complaint still is a valid one.
I love cor/dnc myself but I actually like to shoot stuff too for nice damage....

Rangers pretty much leave corsair even further in the dust now with another bullet upgrade for RNG and the lack of MAB upgrades makes things underwhelming for cor looking to bump things up a notch.

If I owned a Death Penalty i'd be even more depressed with this expansion because they rely even more on MAB to bump up their damage due to its ws formula.

Ranger should leave corsair in the dust in terms of damage. Especially when the corsair is in a party with them. They are a DD class. Corsair is a support class.

It is mildly upsetting there is limited gear available for us, but you have to realize it's going to be coming down the pipeline. Rune Fencer has a job ability that, from what I understand is similar to Quick Draw in at least some ways (Lunge) that is fueled by MAB gear. (I haven't looked into it a lot yet, but I'll be playing Rune Fencer some, so we'll see how that works out.)

Given Corsair and Rune Fencer share the same light armor sets, they're likely looking to gauge where Rune Fencer stands before adding specific gear like that for all involved.

Give it time. I'm sure we'll get ours.

O.O SE changed WS formula? ;0

Edit: Nvm, I think I misunderstood >.>

Im not saying we should be up to snuff with rangers, but we should get a better choice of ammo which is more fitting to the "magic style ranged gun user" Corsair is. Either that or we should get some kinda daggers that when dual wielded at the least equal what the staff could be.. At least then we'd have more choice in things.

Besides some decent daggers, is Chatoyant staff still the best staff option for corsair?

It was only for WF or for QD onry situations. Considering you never use WF, you have no reason to use Chatoyant aside from WKR(granted your macc is fine).

thnx for the reply! so since i'm limited to Last stand as other WS of choice i'd be better of focussing on daggers/ swords or vulcans staff for more ranged attack power then?

i was kinda hoping one of those nuking staves would end up being "All jobs" for QD boost on corsair..

New items are being added that can be bought with Mweya Plasma, I'm hoping there's some new COR pieces. But aside from that... >


To be fair, that would probably be too broken considering that a properly built COR/RDM can already do QD damage comparable to nukes. Seen a few screenshots around from COR that are more geared than I myself currently am, who are doing ~2k damage with QD. That's about how much my SCH does with Tier 3 nukes.

On the note of COR other gear...
