Must be nice.
Pretty sure Mirnen and I have blown right past "statistical anomaly" on some mobs and right into straight-up "what the f***ville."
:( I wish I could make things drop for you guys, you don't deserve that D:

Sure shooting on fodder mobs is absolutely useless. After we kill ADL I end up just rolling and stand there looking pretty while others farm.
The few times I've done COR in dynamis, I bothered to bring my melee set because I'm ADD and can't sit still. I don't have a melee set(I literally don't know where to put it, I don't even have space for a mdt set..), so rather than put random things together and look dumb I prefer to stay on the side and eat my dinner while the guys farm currency xD.

I usually don't carry it around, but it's just thrown together from stuff that I use on other jobs.

I've posted this before. Maybe even in this thread. But this is my combined MDT/PDT set for Corsair:
Shadow Ring, Shadow Mantle and the Faith Torque to pray for procs.
I do NOT have room for full defense sets on Corsair. I sit at like 77/80 at all times, at best.

I keep shared melee options in satchel so I have things like Suppa/Brutal/Rancor Collar etc. sitting around for use whenever.

My melee set takes up more room as I've yet to get ANY Nyzul 99 gear.
Blessed with any sort of consistent static, I am not.

I would never be able to cap haste on cor with the things I already own, and can't be bothered to clutter my inventory even more only for 40 minutes of farming once a week.

Toci's, too, would be worth considering.

Pil is another VWNM where I'd ideally use Last Stand, but ... Orichalcum.

Requiescat isn't an option for me regardless unless they decide that they're going to up the limit on allowable maxed weaponskills.
I really hate that 15-point limit.
I'm required by my linkshell to play more jobs than I can realistically even keep ideal weaponskills. Would really like to be able to have Requiescat, Upheval and Resolution all at once.

I've gone Cor/Dnc a few times to dynamis for exp with a thf friend and dual boxed mage and it actually does fairly well. Boosts the damage for others, has many proc options, and can sleep mobs. I'd be curious to see what Requiescat does in dynamis.

Do I parse higher than my friend with 99 ragnarok? No. Is my damage relevant? Yes, very much so.

ADL is one of those things where every extra little point of damage makes you less likely to wipe.

We're small enough that I end up with all buffs on corsair most of the time. Sometimes I miss a song or two.
I cor/war. With embrava/etc. I weaponskill pretty fast. I mainhand Tailkeeper because I don't have the AGI knife fron Nahn.
Generally works out pretty well.

I sub sam to that cause being a 1 minute~ fight I can get off more ws and do overall more damage. Sure I could sub war and buy wings but...nah.

Looking for some advice here on furthering my Last Stand set.
I use Oric. Bullets based on the targets, otherwise I keep to Oberon's which are cheaper.
BFG's are augmented with Marksmanship+6.
Not entirely sure if belt/gorget are the best. Or the back for that matter. If I'm /sam, I tend to use Vulcan's/Reaver+1 grip.

Since you have access to Nyzul gear, Thaumas hands and feet would be good to add. For cape Terebellum is the only good thing available, other than that tp bonus moonshade.
Edit: nice khepri o.o

Fowler's Mantle +1, Wilhelm's Earring, Altdorf's Earring, Thaumas hands and feet.

I freaked out when I saw the HQ animation for the jacket-1. 1/1, saves me a fortune in re-acquiring mats.
I should give the earring combo a try, considering my moonshade is augmented toward my mage jobs.
Gahhhh Chasmic Hornet. How many times have I tossed that mantle thinking I'd never use it x_x

Idk, I'd think twice about having the refresh earring. I mean there are many refresh sources available nowadays, whilst tp bonus is unique and pretty much priceless and good for more or less all dd.
Just give it some thought at least.

Hello everyone. I'm an old Corsair looking for advice. Ever since the level cap my COR has been retired, I've never touched it anymore. I also neglected information about it for a long time. Well, recently I decided to give it a shot again because of Voidwatch, and farmed an Armaggedon.
What I'm looking for is basicly a COR 101: which are the current optimal sets, atmas and atmacites for Voidwatch, taking in consideration Armageddon? I have the possibility to get an ACP body (done the addon years ago but never got the reward), if it's still good for any set on COR.
Would someone be kind enough to give this lesson to me? Thanks in advance.
