Luck Of The Draw: A Corsair's Guide *NEW*

You're the one who "moved the goalposts" for me, by making broad, stupid statements that are clearly not true.


So...you wouldn't tell a SAM about kusanagi, because it's not a goal anyone without empy+3 should be looking at, regardless of how realistic it would be if they spent "all their points" on a weapon?

Even stupider because if you're doing 8-boss for ~6 months, you'd have enough points for a stage 4 weapon and 16 sets of empy+3. So much for spending all your points on a stage 4 earp/kusanagi. Oof.

which piece of Clemency are you making for your Corsairs and why?

Just finished head, working on feet now.

For legs: empy is already insane.
Hands: STP+12 on Malignance beats the pants off Feet/Head
Body: STP+11 on Malignance is also similarly much better than the 8/9 on Head/Feet

I think there could be a decent argument for any of Head/Feet/Body. Hands/Body are very good, but I think the others are better. Even despite the head having 1 less QA (2 than body).

Frankly, I think I have this exactly backwards mathemagically. Body with highest QA should beat Head/Feet, even though you lose 2~3 more STP, the extra QA should more than make up for it. Then the 1 STP difference on head is nothing compared to 1 more QA on feet. Should probably be Body -> Feet -> Head -> Hands? And never do the legs, IMO. Not for COR anyway.

Agreed with this ordering. You also gain hp/def/att/acc with each swap but you are losing meva- along the way. It might be worth considering stopping at 2-3 pieces if your focus is a high meva set and you have other sets you want to make.

Now that subjobs go past 49, what new utilities unlock with that that are helpful for COR? Is there a guide?

DNC - Chocobo Jig
WAR - Another Fencer trait, 2% DA
DRK - Attack Bonus III trait, PDL III trait (Aminon strat sub)
WHM - Curaga 3, Auspice (don't think people go COR/WHM anymore, but 50% Cure Potency is easy with a Doomsday)
DRG - WSD trait, Super Jump

Don't know if that's considered "new utilities". Most of the time its DW sub for the extra weapon.

Can confirm, I basically live in /DNC sub unless I feel like /WAR.
