Joyeuse COR Ideal Cape.

[Xzerper]

Besides the new Cape that is recently on the AH(SCNM I believe)...what is a good Cape I can use for TPing in on Corsair.

Plans are for COR/WAR Detonator Build. Using Gunner Mantle for WS(8/8 Marksmenship merits currently, will be using sushi on COR naturally, so doubt the acc hit will be much on WS...since Detonator is very accurate.)

Kinda do not want to look at Ame +1...was thinking foragers...unfortunally I do not know CORs Acc vs alot of mobs, and might want an Acc+ piece instead.

Putting merits into Sword(4 only) to cover the bases for PTing there, as well.

Anything else added into this other then what was questioned is greatly appreciated. ^^

Just use amet+1. 5 range attack vs 2 STR and 10 Range ACC is probably better for detonator and slug, and you can melee with it AND shoot with it. You will need it anyways because Detonator is at lvl75. What will you use at 61? I'm not even 75 yet and I still havn't had trouble hitting anything with my sword, I was able to hit greater colbri at lvl72 fine without sushi and just using ACC gear, suppanomimi and 2 sword merits. I'm pretty sure most CORs do the same and melee,shoot with amet+1.

Forgot to mention it in OP, but I am looking at ideal 75 Capes+Setups~
But here is the points set from yer remark~

First Bold: Ame+1 is 2 STR 15 ranged attack 15 attack~

Second: I won't be shooting with anything other than WSing with Martial Gun - Detonator @75. Melee TPing with Joyeuse. More DoT over time then a hit with gun will do, specially with haste equipment. - 4 Sword Merits currently. Won't have more. And I have 8 Marksmenship merits right now too.

Third: Since I have merits, and have Detonator Unlocked, I think I might have it sooner than 75, since I see THFs with merits have eviseration(sp) at much lower levels too.

Fourth: I'll be using Sushi in merit PT, reguardless of my merits, acc will stink badly on Ranged attacks and Melee hits alike since our natural low skill. Won't be able to eat anything else. - And I can stack stuff like Gunner's Mantle with +20 Ranged attack for WS, since Detonator is a highly accurate WS, unlike slug shot. Stack that with merits, will be fine on WS w/acc.

Just really trying to find a good Acc/DMG Setup for melee TP without sacrificing Slots I'll be using Haste in. Turban/Belt/Dusk Hands/ not much acc gear COR can utilize really that gives a massive amount. Salvage Legs are nice. Going for those when I can, however.

But since I am not 75, I do not know how well Joyeuse TP will be without the right gear, wanna make it as effective as possible.


EDIT: I still need to look into that Shield you have, so I can COR/WAR merit and make Pendent latent activate for Card Shots. Without needing /mage MP to do so. I hear that takes 12+ people to kill however...

amemet+1 probably a top option for joyeuse COR, it have ATT and RATT together, with STR. only different for forger is 1 STR with no RATT, but it is up to you if you gonna macro out the back for gunner's.

with COR's marksmanship rating, you probably wont be getting detonator until 75 (COR have just enough skill to activate the quest at 75). With merit, ya you can push it to 73 or 74

You also have to consider the -RACC on Gunner's mantle, even if detonator is highly accurate. You also have to consider the trade off for 5 RATT compare to 2 STR, which imo not that much different. However, add to that, gunner's mantle have -RACC as well.

I think Amemet+1 win unless your RACC is capped, even then, there wont be much differences.

RACC capped: 2 STR VS 5 RATT
RACC uncapped: 2 STR VS 5 RATT + -10 RACC

Amemet+1 also an inventory-1

 

[Arthur]

Oh yeah thats true, since you have it unlocked and full merits you probably get it at 73~74. Either way though, I ment the 10 +Range ACC because Gunner has -10. Which makes Amet+1 a more full time piece. Stronger WS , good for shooing and you can melee with it.(Me and Spalko agree, forgot to mention the inventory too )

 

[Sanoske]

Why would you not want to look at Amemet +1? It's a great piece for COR, and basically the best overall back piece that you can equip. Forager's is a waste for a job that uses Ratt as frequently as COR will. Any issues with Racc can be made up for in other slots that won't sacrifice something as significant as Ratt +15.

Amemet Mantle +1 is a better choice over the Psilos Mantle. You gain STR +2 as well as three more attack and ranged attack. The +1 Range accuracy and melee accuracy isn't even enough to be considered a better item for COR over the Amemet Mantle +1.

Of course if your having financial issues within the game and can't afford the Amemet Mantle +1 the Psilos Mantle can be considered an temporary place holder.

Even with Detonator you will need some R accy. And honestly if you we're just going to full time use Detonator you'd get better results with using meat than sushi.

Here's what I WS in and atm, there's very little I would change:

Martial Gun/Steel Bullets

Corsair's Tricorne +1

Light Gorget

Drone Earring x2

Denali Jacket

Crimson Finger Gaunlets

Behemoth Ring +1 x2 for Slug Shot/ Flame Ring x2 for Detonator

Amemet Mantle +1

Commodore's Belt

Denali Kecks

Corsair's Bottes +1


Now there's a couple of slots there that could be upgraded. But for the most part I'm content with it. You really can't go wrong w/ Amemet Mantle +1.

Only if I am constantly shooting Bullets(Which I won't be, Joytoy TP > WS)

Now the thing is, do you use /WAR or /RNG? I could see not using Gunner Mantle if using meat, of course.

Seeing COR even with merits right now, using sushi missing on birds in waj woodlands, compared to the even higher evasive Mamool for [email protected]ng meat wouldn't be viable would it?

Or is Detonator's Acc that accurate, you'd not have problems with it still? Even then, would you be hitting well/accurately with your sword when obtaining TP?

 

[Wakmidget1]

I have used /war in every merit PT I've been in on COR since I levled it to 37. Usually I use subs at Greater Colibri camp, and Sole Sushi at Mamool camps.

I tend to use Slug Shot on everything except the THF and NIN mamools. And my accuracy is fair enough in both situations. But Remember, we are not RNG's. We have B Marksmanship, no Accuracy Bonus job traits(unless subbed), and no where near access to the quality of gear RNG has. Now granted, over the last few months COR has gotten some better quality gear than it has had before. But still doesn't compare to the quality of RNG's.

I would not put Minus R accy anywhere on COR unless the trade of was something game breaking. Because as Detonator's accuracy is exquisitely better than Slug Shots, it's can still have it's fart moments with our low base marksmanship.

Remember, even DRK's and WAR's can't cap accuracy at mamools.

 

[Xzerper]

Would that be a more viable WS piece if you're /war and eating meat, to free up some other spots, or for consistancy in general at Mamools/Birds? Or still Ame. Mantle +1

 

[Wakmidget1]

I'd probably stay w/ Amemet Mantle +1 atm. I'm very comfortable with my setup.

 

[Meximan]

I would have to agree with wak, thats a pretty solid setup for cor and i would stay with str+2 vs +5ratt and -10racc anyday of the week.
