They should have given us Bounty shot, but oh well. I highly doubt we can get TH, that's a thf thing.
Bounty Shot would have made more sense for COR than RNG, in honesty. It would be a welcome addition if it, or a similar ability were added.
While we're sorta on the subject of COR's and treasures, shouldn't COR have some form of Wide Scan as a native ability, given they're based more on pirates, who are legendary for their treasure maps and reading sea charts?
SE really screwed Corsair out of a lot of things we should have but instead are RNG exclusive. A in Marksmanship being one of them.
balance wise though, an A is marksmanship just leaves RNG with Bow. i dont think SE would want that. Widescan on another job would be welcomed, only 2 jobs have it now, 3 doesnt seem rediculous.
In terms of treasure, don't forget about THF's ability to pick locks. While i agree it fits very well into the THF persona we cant ignore it as a possible upgrade for COR. Bounty shot isnt a bad idea for COR, maybe you could somehow feed teh luck aspect into it as well.
Sort of play a roll game 1-11 with luckys and unluckys then your next QD would apply a TH in addition to its regular effect. you could have it on the same timer as Phantom Roll to balance it out or something.
COR getting something like Treasure Hunter I at lv45 and TH2 at lv90 would have made sense.
And I agree with the Bounty Shot comment wholeheartedly - I'm actually quite surprised the lv87 RNG and COR JAs weren't switched. Bounty Shot does fit much better with the "luck" based idea of COR. And Triple Shot is horrid for COR since we're severely limited on ammo choices and nobody is going to want to be shooting 3x the Oberon's Bullets unless you're insanely rich AND have an ammo supply (highly unlikely).
What COR is actually spamming /ra using stuff like Triple Shot, all this new Snapshot gear, Rapid Shot from Navarch +1/+2 head?? It's simply ridiculous.
No we need chest finder ability. I call it "X marks the spot". Kind of a Wide scan for coffers and chests. That would be so nicely piratey.
Yo Ho Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me!
I didn't know bounty shot, i checked it, and i don't understand why ranger got this.

Bow, crossbow, better weapons, (empyrian excluded.) better gear, better melee weapons, and better ammo. Not to mention all the ranged attack abilities COR is missing. (Since velocity shot is unsubable, RNG will always be better at ranged attacks, even if COR had BETTER weapons/ammo/armor than RNG.) RNG'd be fine. No one's upset that different jobs share axes or daggers.
