Corsair gear help.
By Himsaa 2011-05-16 00:03:45
Pluto's staff would obviously do better on the elemental weapon skill than M.kris. ultimate/cosmos/sea daughter is awesome for ws spam. I would use that same setup and rolls for leaden salute if I didn't have armageddon.
I am clueless as to what some of the other people here are suggesting. The only reason you would TP in melee gear is if you are using slug shot or detonator which shouldn't even be considered in abyssea. Otherwise get some store tp gear, use tactician's roll and weapon skill every 15 seconds. It's like people are mixing melee gear with elemental weapon skills....?
For as quick as COR can TP... I'd use cosmos/ultimate/HG and see if the damage difference makes up for the extra times it takes to get TP when not using sea daughter. Always /RDM and use wizard's roll if you are using an elemental ws. /nin, /sam, and whatever else some people use is worthless

I do have a Walahra Turban, i sent it to my mule because i felt i had no use for it anymore, i guess my COR will have some use for this, unlike my other jobs lol.
Well actually COR can't cap haste with w turban, so eventually you'd have to replace it with something else XD

Because some NM resists or even absorbs magic dmg, so Wildfire won't do so well on those mobs. In that case Evisceration with RR/VV(or GH)/Apoc(or alpha omega) will be your best DD WS since it can always hits 1k~2.5k easily even on toughest NMs, plus all the melee DoT(which is usually 150~270 on NQ mobs) from crit-hit attack. I know some ppl complained about not liking to play the job like a THF or DNC, but if it's an effective way to play it, why not? Not to mention if you /DNC, you got extra benefit from meleeing such as stun and haste samba.
I'm not a big fan of melee+elemental WS dmg though.
Another reason is because not everyone have Wildfire, and not everyone is willing to invest the time to get an empyrean WS. I doubt Armageddon takes less time to finish than Mayhem+2, since you'd have to camp NMs(some NM takes 10hr to pop sometimes)+ gather ppl and spend the time to help them get their gears.

Correction:
Forgot about what I just said here, some friend told me how good Sanguine Scythe atma is after recent update so I decided to give RR/SS/A&O combination a try on EXP mobs, and the dmg was much higher than RR/VV/A&O combination. Average is easily 2.6~2.9k, sometimes it even goes higher than 3~4k.
Unless that enmity+ from SS is a big problem(it's usually not if you're EXPing), SS is certainly a good atma to use if you go melee.

I'm looking to get back into COR after spending the last few months almost totally on BLU for yellow procs and I've found the comments posted here really useful. I do ahve one question, and I imagine this has been covered in a previous thread, but which version of Mayhem +2 are most people going for?
Previously I was working on an Anarchy and I noticed the following +2 versions:
2657
2658
I realise the DMG+10% won't do anything for Leaden Salute and the added delay on the second gun is pretty ghastly.

I wrote a wiki guide a long time ago on QD, which I've slowly been updating in my spare time. It's certainly not the best guide on wiki but I thought I'd share it with a wider audience in case anyone finds it useful (or on the other hand feels like trashing it!).

Screw RR, VV, or AoA, you want Ultimate, Sea Daughter, and Sundering slash with Pluto's (leaden) or Vulcan's (wildfire).

I would say NO. But thats only because I like as much Store TP in my sets as i can to augment the regain. Since its always a variable number, you dont need to aim for a specific X-hit.
However, you should swap it in for triple shot.

>.> <.<
Then do Evi(with right atma) if you have it unlocked, if not then do slug(hard to buff it's dmg with atmas, so w/e) I guess......
But if you don't WS then you probably don't have much else to do in Abyssea XD

Yup, it is (*'-') everything else looks good to me.
However, this is what I use for TP
Along with my QD and Wildfire sets (respectively) for a 100.7% TP return.

Skopos has +5 Snapshot, Blood has +3.

I use /RDM
Just come back to the game recently after a long break, i am a pretty old school player and i had 3 level 90 jobs, DRK THF and PLD, i had been saying for a long time before my break that i would level COR to friends, but just never got round to it, i even had a full set of Afv2, -1 hands and both limbus items to +1 an AF piece.
So i figured i would join the bandwagon, and abyssea burn my corsair from 32 up to high level, managed to get it up to 88 in a long day of opening chests and keeping a party going for over 12 hours.
Feeling like i thrown myself in the deep end though, tried my best to really read up on what a COR can do, it seems to be the most complex job i played so far in this game.
I am looking to find out some information, i am guessing i should really get my Corsair AF, and +1 my AF COR hat? Also i should +1 my Afv2 hands when i get that chance im sure.
The only gear i seem to have is a full set of AFv2 and my Joyeuse which i was using on my PLD, i am wondering where i should go from here, i do have a set of Aurore gear i could use, also got a little bit of money behind me so i could buy somethings from the AH.
Should i buy a Verus Knife +1 and dual wield that with my Joyeuse for now?
I have an Alltdorfs earring, should i finish the set off and get the Willheims?
What other pieces of gear should i be aiming to get? Of course i aint looking for anything overly difficult to get at the moment, specially gear in Abyssea, i would rather get my Corsair looking presentable before really trying hard to get AFv3s and rare/ex gear from NM in abyssea.
What gear sets should i be aiming for? Should i start working on a MAB set? Like trying to get a Novio earring and moldavite earring? I got Rovers gloves months ago from the weapon in Xarcabard, is it actually any good?
I have so many questions, would be awesome if some experienced pirates out there can steer me the right way, thanks for any tips.
