So a 11 roll on chaos without a DRK in party, or Commodore Tricone proc will give +350 attack (450 with). I don't think that's even possible with 5 Minuets and G Horn (outside of SV).
Ah you don't get what I mean, the buff potency is based on the efficiency of pt setup, not the amount of attack you gain. A DD pt needs WHM, and occasionally needs a stunner/PD job, which leaves maximum of 2 slot for a buff job.

BRD can march, which makes BRD a more potent buff job for the DD. There's little you can do with 450 attack if DDs can't swing faster, you still need a BRD or GEO to haste regardless of what you do, so one of the buff job slot is gone.

If you use GEO+RDM for haste, 2 of the buff job slots are gone. There's just no way COR can compete with GEO and BRD as the priority buff job, GEO or BRD always comes first, extra 400+ attack comes 2nd.

Oh and btw, none ergon GEO can also do 45% attack with avg gear if I remember correctly(I may be wrong about this), while COR's avg chaos number is only around 40%, No.11+ DRK roll proc(+56%) rarely happen. GEO can do higher avg attack boost AND haste or def down, while COR's 2nd buff has to stick with DA or SAM roll.

The point is that, the fact that COR can't do haste buff means it'll always compete with other DDs for DD spot, if COR's dmg output isn't high enough to compensate weaker buffs, it's not going to be worth bringing.
