An optimistic user's guide to the new XI/Phantom Roll changes.

[Zagen]

I think they succeeded in making it so rolling XI isn't mandatory to COR (somewhat contrary to what the OP thinks all corsairs should be trying for now), but they didn't exactly grant a bonus to both the corsair and party members.

Depends on how you look at it I guess, I see the bonus of no bust and half recast with an XI roll active now allows me to make sure I'm sitting on XI rolls the whole time instead of settling for the "lucky" or non unlucky number over 6. That means the party is overall getting a stronger bonus than they would have gotten from me prior to the changes.
