COR, you really don't pull with COR.
Glad someone said it. It CAN pull, but its far from efficient. If you are going to then use Darts and stand around because tbh, you cant do a lot more. A peacemaker will help, but its still not as efficient as a BRD puller. In fact just level BRD if this is what you want to do lol.
I love playing my COR in merit, /NIN and Joytoy/Merc Kris is a hellavalotta fun.
For people saying that its not a DD, my Slug shot is a base hit of 891 with no chaos roll or any attack songs and using sole sushi at point blank range. By base hit I mean this is the number I see hitting over and over again, nothing ever lower. (please note this is bird camp figures, but still anyone who's DD'd there will know this is more than respectable)
With that weapon combo its actually better to have a lower WS damage than to lose the 1-2 attack round by backing off to outside melee range for a sweet spot as your hitting 2-5 times per round. The TP gain is insanely fast. Recommend 4 merits in Dagger and 8 in Sword though.
No one has to believe me, IDC if you dont tbh, but Im not looking for a flame war.
My 10p worth on COR anyway, and if youve got the Gil for it to shoot for TP until you get a multi hitting weapon, I think you'll find its an amazing job to level.
When speaking to people about COR I often say "Its not Support, its enhancing" theres a difference. Since a COR doesnt stand about picking their nose while waiting for the rolls to cool down, they are in with the action (Or I certainly was). Of course you will find a lot of COR/WHMs who WILL do this, basically pretending to be BRDs cos they dont want to fork out the gil to level it to its potential. If they do that in a pty im in I will rep them with a BRD.
