<Help me out!> COR

[Wenceslao]

COR's should be able to use more varieties of bullets, we are very limited and expensive job, I'm a lvl90 COR and i still keep using regular bullets as crafters seems not to worry on better bullets to sell at AH, second why we have that awful marksmanship rank? we should have at least an A- or B, we keep missing mobs even with full merits on Marksmanship and acc+ gear and skill capped....

but some people dont want to evisceration spam and want to stay out of TP range for things like Meteor from Rani or Orthrus that uses Gates of Hades/Acheron Flame. Some ppl will dual weild a dagger and a joyuese, however not everyone wants to...

And what about those COR's who have earned Leaden Salute or Wildfire and choose to wield a Dark/Pluto Staff or a Fire/Vulcan Staff respectively. Should we just sit by and watch our Regain tick our TP up and watch our Quick Draw Timers reset?

die costs are NOT an issue ... have you ever bought all the BLM scrolls .... its 100 times as much cor is one of the cheaper jobs to buy "spells " for

bullets are expensive yes but you knew that when you picked the job
oberons are well in supplie on my server your servers must be low on synthers maybe you should pick up the skill anyone lvling a craft now days HAS to have synergy now days all the crafetrers i know have it caped

the power of cor IS a issue as is the fat that the rolls are almost worthless in abyssea but the same is true of BRD almost worthless now

does anyone else remember when BRD and COR were NEEDED to do merrit partys ... those were great days for COR

QD DOES almost as much damage as some WS i seen sam use lately they can't really increase that much but /RA is not even worth using right now so how is it your all worried about bullet prices i have had the same stack of bullets for a month now lol QD everything and sence you have to get close for rolls anyhow usually end up meleing anyways
now days cor is a ok lvl DD with a small boost ability on att or acc or 1 more mp/tick this needs fixed

really? really? BLM spells can be obtained via other ways MOST of the time. with the exception of spells like Warp II Aspir Drain and Sleepga II, most all BLM spells can be farmed. The above mentioned can be quested as well. COR HAS TO BUY THEIR DICE FROM NPC'S. There are no other options. Its not our fault if you go around buying them all from NPC's or pay ridiculous Auction House Prices instead of getting them yourself.

And your right to that effect the fact that they are expensive really isnt the issue, its the fact we don't have a choice in the matter about how we can get them.

As for the Bullets EVEN IF your server has a decent supply of them (which to me would be 3-10 stacks of pouches on the AH at all times) its the fact that they restricted it to a recipe that requires you to use only gold ore and fool's gold ore. Both of which were NEVER in high supply.

My friend leveled Goldsmithing some time ago and would camp the AH for weeks waiting for gold ore to skill up. and to make it worse the Fool's Gold Ore is only dropped from Campaign ops a less than desirable event atm.

So the bullet issue is them bottlenecking the recipe with 2 items that were never that popular to begin with. Add that ontop of a currently unpopular job and in some cases (servers) the demand isn't high enough to provide a supply.

Um... how about you go farm/quest BLM spells and use the proceeds to buy your dice then? Dice are not an issue. I'm not sure I agree that dice should be priced by level (Courser's Roll and Allies Roll should be cheaper because they are so highly situational), but I have no issue buying dice. Anything you can buy can be "farmed" by getting gil from some other means and investing it in the buyable item you want.

Ammo is certainly the problem today. Steel Bullets are rare enough on my server, and there haven't been any stacks/pouches of Oberons sold on my server in over 6 months. I understand S-E is reluctant to damage the potential crafting market, but crafters are NOT supplying ammo.

I'd be perfectly fine with NPCs selling ammo for a cost that is high enough that crafters could still make the stuff and sell it for a profit. But at least give me the opportunity to buy it. I was lucky enough to get a single Oberon's Bullet months ago, but I sure hope I don't accidentally shoot it because of a macro error, lag, or my own mistake. I'd be very happy to be able to buy a stack and be done with it.

Dice are an issue though. Why do the BLM, WHM, NIN, BRD, & RDM spells drop from gold chests but COR still has to go buy its dice...? Why did COR ever only have the option of buying dice? I could buy the whole set of dice several times over. But im thinking about the new player, who for some insane reason likes COR more than any other job at lv30. They are gonna have a hell of a time leveling COR and trying to buy dice, bullets, and cards.

And since when was COR an unpopular job? I seem to recall people looking for CORs specifically. Even today in Abyssea there are many people who still prefer to have a COR in their party than another full-fledged DD.

I have never in my abyssea LS or lowmanning things, had someone request me as Corsair as opposed to WHM MNK BLM or BRD.
COR as a mainjob:
1. Can't proc Yellow
2. Can't Tank
3. Can't Heal
4. Can't even fully proc Blue Marksmanship (even though its signature weapon is a gun). Let alone fully proc any Blue weakness Weapon on its own.
5. Can't proc any Red without Subjob (this isnt really an issue given our choices of subs)

In my abyssea LS COR is considered a Dead Weight Job because of this. Until i finish my stage 2 Armageddon i will continue to goto everything as WHM or MNK.
