Huge difference between the beetle and qilin lol. I wouldn't compare the two in terms of evasion. Cor should be able to use curry buns vs qilin with no issues. You have aggressor and stalwart's tonic. Should be dead within 3m anyway.


Yes, changed food to RCB on Qilinx4 today for Last Stand, got a bit better result. No racc issue on it at all. Can safely use RCB on all T3 I believe.

Someone else was parsing:

low/high/avg
2369/3750/2976.86
2984/3271/3203.00
2318/3225/2803.29
2243/3136/2854.00

Yes, it's better.
Discipline atmacite should be always there, Coercion I think is a good choice for the second one.

Yeah always use discipline 60%+ tp return from ws is sexiness. Looks like ill need to level up that atmacite some more been focusing on upgrading slayer to 15.

Aye; Discipline and Coercion are my standard combo for just about everything. But I'm DD all the way, more or less. Though I've heard that Coercion isn't always the best second DD atmacite depending on what you're fighting for pure damage, but I like the regain/etc. for proc'ing purposes.

Same goes for your rolls, really. Tactician's will be Corsair's best second roll along w/ Miser's for DD purposes (with Wildfire, anyhow), but for your DD party's pure DD needs (or for yourself if using Last Stand), Chaos is better than Tactician's in many cases.

But again, pure damage vs. utility. The only time I really use Chaos is fighting the T6 Jeunos because otherwise, the regain is more helpful on keeping proc spam up.

On the really big mobs Chaos is more beneficial, especially if you can hit white and a string of ws staggers with people's main weapons/magic.

Otherwise, I find tactician's more expedient for fights you can burn through pretty quick anyhow.

It's mostly a matter of lazyness. Considered that no one asks us to shoot for damage, we can just use cheap bullets for tp purposes, as getting to 100 is really not hard at all. With triple shot up it's even instant.

Or tactician is also very useful if your group is gimp like mine and dds are off the nm for almost the whole fight <_<"

You said "lazy," I said "expedient and efficient."

If semantics were an art medium I'd be DaVinci

Or M.C. Escher.

Either way.

Rolled a No.11 chaos and broke 4.4k on Pil today.



with this set:


Food:RCB song=double min Regain + save TP+20 atmacite both lv 15. Using vulcan's instead of Nguul for extra QD dmg for Pil's shield. Not sure if Angon was used.

Not a perfect set and missing some of the WS pieces, also planning to test Alruna v.s Athos hands. But a bit more work this WS has potential to break 5k in VW =D

Bit of a necro bump, but trying to get some feedback before I spend 30 +2 items.

Commodore Frac +2 or Athos Tabard for Last Stand? Using Loki's right now, can get frac immediately. Having trouble getting Athos atm.

True, but like Exenterator I am wondering if Last Stand benefits just as much from the str/ratk as it does from the agi mod, or at least at what point does adding enough str/ratk equalize the agi mod.

I've tested both Loki and Athos in T3 VW, Athos body seems to > Loki. But I was subbing /WAR with RCB, having Chaos roll with DRK, and always have BRD sing at least 2 min(3 if empy BRD), with all the temps and attack buffs and such, maybe attack is capped thus making rattk not worth as much.

I also tested both Alruna hands and Athos's hands, Athos's hands seems to have better performance too, maybe for the same reason.

Athos body > Loki > relic+2 body I believe

Quick question,looking at most people's standard tp/ra sets,is subbing out Vulcan's for Mekki Shakki (if that + grip makes or breaks your build) for 5hit if you're gonna be using nothing but Last Stand?

Due to regain being there quite often(roller's ring, monarch's drink, moonshade earring if you went that way, or simply tactician's roll)precise x-hits aren't that important for us, I wouldn't trade vulcan's(actually nguul is the ideal weapon).

I generally trust Helel for all things ranged and they went with agi+4, although it's on RNG I would think the same principles apply.

For what it's worth -

and in Cor form

Body for cor form should be Tessera which is still a downgrade from Khepri body, but as most ppl know that 50M+ body isnt a very practical aim.

for what its worth, u can check my gear on my profile. i followed seha guide pretty much. its not the highest end gear,but I'm happy with the numbers i,m getting on Last Stand, while working on Arma. also if u get a chance, since ur on Cerb, check Vipan. he's pimpCor and helped me just last weekend on a couple directions i need to go. also keep in mind, what im showing has a few melee pcs. while im doing the trials and im not sporting much MaB/magacc gear either.

Gunman's might actually be superior to tessera in many situations. I'm not hardcore COR myself, but even with capped marks merits, capped AGI merits, and lots of ranged accuracy, last stand is still pretty inaccurate on COR. If you're just fighting fodder mobs then tessera obviously wins, but in uncapped accuracy situations--which seem to be quite common on COR--gunman's would be the way to go.

According to my experience,
Gunman or T.abj HQ/NQ, Thaumas 4/5, Hajduk ring x1 or 2(depending on the number of hunters), Pot-Au-Feu, hunters roll, and you should be able to land LS on most of the mob in this game. Maybe not something like Ixion in legion, everything else should be fine~
