Useless rolls

[Panthera]

I've done quests as COR with a BRD friend. We'd stack Mazurka and Bolter's, and we'd essentially be running at Flee speed. I'm pretty lucky about rolling threes (or i just make my own luck with Snake Eye). I have used Pet rolls before, and had them used for my SMN.

But like the man said, if you're having a problem with Gil, Bard is much cheaper. Or do Blu and you won't have to buy any spells! Dancer if fairly cheap, too.

Pld roll is far and away the most useless roll. I wish I could get a refund on that die.

PLD roll is actually a lot of fun to use. Yes, a lot of these rolls are situational. I've gotten them all for completion's sake.
PLD roll helped me a bit when I did NPC fight (COR/NIN vs PLD/NIN. took me 5 rematches) and just about any other time I decide to fight against friends in Brenner.
BRD roll helps when I solo for parry skillups. Spell Interrupt down is nice when I screw up the utsu cast timing.
I use pet rolls plenty of times on friend's PUP, BST, and SMN jobs.
BLU roll is insane and rocks when doing Scouting the Ashu Talif (no BLU on XI and it = Shellra V)
Like many have said before, highly situational. COR is my main and absolute favorite job.
If you wanna skim by with it, then get the main rolls people want and play support. If you wanna give it your all, take up a craft, make your own ammo, use said craft to buy all the die, and before you know it COR won't feel that expensive anymore.
It's nice when you farm just a tiny bit to get mountains of elemental cards.
* 1 stack of Polyflan from the AH (never seen it more than 10K) yields 396 polyflan paper (NQ) (each paper makes 33 cards NQ)
Some light farming and or buying light crystals, and you crank out more cards than you know what to do with at a fraction of the cost.
Bullets are just as nice. don't pay for ammo, just farm and craft everything. (1 hour of farming for roughly 12 to 16 stacks of bullets). Money saved can go into buying ingredients to make shihei and ninjutsu for all the COR/NIN'ing (shadows and elemental jutsu for unresisted QD).
It takes a lot of work to make COR cheap, and a lot of inventory space too.

Bolter's and Mazurka don't stack, for future reference. 1 piece of gear + 1 effect at a time, with Ambition atma counting as gear.

Eh? They changed it? Because bolters and mazurka sure as hell used to stack. Bolters XI and chocobo mazurka was +50% movement speed and it was awesome.

I never knew they stacked at all <_> that's odd, but cool if it's true. Nothing else in the game stacks higher than 1 effect + 1 gear.
