The Pirates' Lair: A Guide To Corsair

To be fair we have higher dagger skill than marksmanship. So I believe that if I can shoot it, I can most certainly stab it.

Forget what I said 3 posts earlier, just realized I had SV songs on...........so it's completely inaccurate ._.


Edit: Fixed, Khepri pulled ahead on qilin for me, but again, difference is very, very small.

*slaps Afania*

Did you consider Nemetona cap too Afania?

On dynamis DC, I got highest number from Sigyn as long as offhanding qilin dagger or have DEX merit, and using thaumas 4/5. Nemetona is a bit behind.

If not then Khepri pull ahead, Nemetona still behind.

?

Unmentioned - WF set has fire obi and the only alternative listed is an unattainable belt atm. Does this mean sveltesse gouriz or aqualine belt is better? Also Reaver grip +1 vs Elder Grip?

She had it listed as Sveltesse but changed it to Elanid. Idk about the Grip but I think it's something like 2 AGI = 1 MAB. But if you're using WF you might as well use Elder's to boost QD damage as well.

The elanid has just been added, it comes out next month, till then Sveltesse obviously.

As for grip it's covered, elder wins by a small margin.

Also, gonna remove w legs from mab sets cause *** it, it's bloody impossible(get it? bloody..nvm)

Fixed a few things here and there.

Does Fire Grip do anything for Wildfire? Anything at all?

Accuracy..but why bother, just use a Reaver or Elder grip and you get about the same result plus damage. With all the agi you stack for the ws anyway I can't see it breaking any difference.

Just curious. At the time of getting a grip there were no Reaver (NQ or HQ) up and I decided Elder was a bit too costly, COR isn't my main job. Glad to know the grip I did buy isn't totally useless, but I'll upgrade it next time I pass the AH. :)

Tbh I'd use a rose strap or a str grip in the meantime. At least they're useful for tp phase.

Aeyela:
Looks like you have RNG (with annihilator) leveled as well, so Gatta Strap +1 is fairly cheap and good dual job option.

didn't look through entire thread cos I'm on phone atm, but didn't see any xmls in first set of posts.

are the ones on bg my best bet to edit and make my own, or are there other ones floating around?

Gunman gambison is decent alternative for Last stand (better than Loki's).

Took a look at the ones on BG and I might just be too sleepy atm to begin personalizing them but just wondering if there are any others?

Edit: Just realized I gave you the link to an older version, let me upload my current one real quick.

Added idle and phantom roll sets. Very disappointed at the low amount of regen gear we have...stupid daytime onry sucks.

I know WF and Quickdraw can't crit, so my question is can Leaden Salute crit?

I made a soil gorget and was bored so I decided to spent darksday derping around with ronfaure bunnies firing off a ton of 300tp Leaden Salutes and one of them spiked significantly for 1893 damage using this set:


The demon ring is 2MAB aug'd.
On darkday the Ftp with this setup ws'ing at 300tp is 5.01 from neck+gorget+hands(4.75 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.06)

All the other ws were 1700 to 1750 damage, so puzzled trying to resolve where the damage spike on 1 ws came from since its a ~10% difference. I was double 11'ing tactician+wizzy roll w/ winning streak for the entire day so i did about 20+ ws's and only 1 spiked.

I guess its an irridescene proc? If so does magic crit damage augments apply then?

Also, is a MAB erra gun doing to beat a 10% ws damage gun if you only want it for leaden salute? Both in/out of aby+vw ? I'm determined to find a way to break 2k on this ws on a rabbit :3

The blood mask in idle guide is only 1 tick btw, Oce head +1 is 2 tick.

Magic weaponskills (and skillchains) are affected by day bonus, similar to magic. If you had used Anrin Obi, you would not have seen any 'crits' because it would have forced day bonus on every weaponskill rather than the random occurrences that you were experiencing.

Edit: Response to Sapphire.

I see, I guess Anrin obi is the next thing to make then! still extrasad i cant voidstorm myself. I need to turn my pocket whm into a pocket SCH

Oh I'm sorry, I thought Oce was only 1 tick as well so recycling w mask would be more convenient. Will fix it asap.

Poking around BGwiki, I noticed something that struck me odd on the description of Cor's Relic Feet +2.

The effect is a re-roll if it lands on 1 or 2. Thus, the chances of getting 3 through 6 are increased.

The page states the probability of the different results afterwards:

#	--	Chances	--	%
1		1/18		5.5%
2		1/18		5.5%
3		4/18		22.2%
4		4/18		22.2%
5		4/18		22.2%
6		4/18		22.2%

Results if you don't have augmented boots (for comparison's sake).

#	--	Chances	--	%
1		1/6		16.7%
2		1/6		16.7%
3		1/6		16.7%
4		1/6		16.7%
5		1/6		16.7%
6		1/6		16.7%

However, the math for those probabilities are off if the boots function as they are described.

Mathy stuff (kept very simple)

Initially, there are 6 different results for Wild Card.

1
2
3
4
5
6

With the boots, 1 and 2 are re-rolled which results in a distribution like this:

1 -> 1 2 3 4 5 6
2 -> 1 2 3 4 5 6
3 -> 3
4 -> 4
5 -> 5
6 -> 6

This results in 16 different possibilities. (6 each for an initial roll of 1 or 2, and 1 each for 3 through 6.)

Even with the reroll, there are still 2 chances each for either 1 or 2, and there are 3 chances each for 3 through 6. This significantly differs from the original 1/18 and 4/18.

The corrected probabilities should look something like this:

#	--	Chances	--	%
1		2/16		12.5%
2		2/16		12.5%
3		3/16		18.75%
4		3/16		18.75%
5		3/16		18.75%
6		3/16		18.75%

These results are much closer to the sans augment results than the current page states. I figured that I should post it here before any changes are made to BGwiki so that people can see the reasoning.

(My apologies to any Cor's that I saddened by doing this.)

Edit: Corrected

That was pretty obvious I thought, the reroll is only 1 so you can still get a "double" 1 or 2 :/

In that case, I will just go ahead and fix BGwiki.

Would this be a passable melee set for VW in situations where I would go /war and spam last stand? What weapon would be best, mkris, nguul or aluh?

This is my last stand set w/ 85 atma
