Bye bye turban

Lol I only listed the armor, and besides hq staves give a better bonus then that.

Do you need to keep this piece equipped for the enhanced Triple Shot effect to work?

On a second look I wonder if some of the magic acc might be enough to get past resistancs on QD on higher level NM's. Something tells me they will always limit damage due to high MDB or some such issue.

Except the relic hat buffs many rolls and these equips buff only one roll (of which several are very infrequently used). So rather than one inventory slot for improving buff power we have 6 inventory slots for improving buffs. Thanks goodness for Trump cards. Anyone see the price on those yet?

Damn. I was hoping the whole goal was to eliminate the need for elemental cards altogether. At double the price I guess I'll keep my stacks of elemental cards. Maybe use trumps for the rare times I use water or wind or thunder.

No Marksmanship WS that COR can use can crit.

So the 4% Crit Rate on the gloves is just a random, mostly useless stat? If so, doesn't this make the hands a macro piece for rolls as well?

Not sure it outdoes 2-3% haste.

Id say it depends on atma selection and setup. I thought I saw a haste atma somewhere.

Complete garbage.

Staves give more boost, and 5 matt isnt that big a deal anyway when you have matt atmas and such and ur dding. Should of point out the twilight dagger that has quadruple attack on it.

I agree. The dagger looks great for RA + QD. I know for NMs I tend to just RA and QD. Don't know whybpeoole would hate on the dagger.

I low man a lot not really solo so much.

Heres why I dont like that dagger.

1. If im meleeing with one weapon, im useing joyeuse, twilight, mkris.
2. If im meleeing with two weapons, im going to use joyeuse/mkris or joyeuse/twilight. Generally if im meleeing it, it means im trying to do as much damage as possible.
3. If im shooting, im going to be useing a hq firestaff. The boost to QD and the added ratt and such from the staff far outweight the stp from that dagger, besides there are atmas if you really wanna get into the whole tp debate, which is actually null since QD is basically like a mini meditate with damage ever 45 seconds.

The fact that it might save a card is worthless since cards are cheap anyway. The problem is that there are better alternate weapons for doing everything this dagger does, it just combines all of them into one and is worth than each individually.

Like Afonia said, this dagger is superior for fights where you are a) not using fireshot as your main QD and b) where leaden salute is your primary WS. There are plenty of fights where with MAB Atma that LS and Wildfire will outdo slugshot. Not everyone has wildfire. But most COR have Leaden salute.

Like a lot of gear it's situational. It looks to me like a good gunmage alternative to an HQ staff when you will be varying your QD based on different weaknesses of the mobs you are fighting. And now you can be the cyclone/energy drain person for red !! as well if needed. So while it's not likely to take over as the major weapon choice it has it's place.

Really? Seriously what LS waits for a COR to land a qd after a debuff? The only time its even remotely feasible is at the begining of the fight.

The snapshot talk as well is only any good if you have a significant snapshot setup, which at this day in age for cor is a bit pointless. Very few times ever am I sitting around shooting, unless im weak.

For a recent example I did Raja today. The group that went built a pop then popped it. For the chariot I was out dding everyone and tanked msot the fight as COR vs the 4k hp PLD. I ended up dieing because mages couldnt keep up with cure spam on everyone, and msot of them where dead because they wouldnt mvoe out of range. At no point in the fight could I time QD to enhance a buff because of all the spells flying.

Next fight was the ironclad. I choose to QD it instead of melee this time. Pop triple shoot and plug away. Had to move so often due to hate bouncing around that I couldnt shoot.

Same thing with Rani since royal decree rapes.

Maybe its my play style and the group I run with, but I never have enough time to shoot the mob. I am either QDing, or meleeing 99% of the time. In a larger shell I guess you would have time for it.

QD enhancement still works on all spells as far as I know, dia 3 basically becomes 4, slow 1 becomes 2.

The silly thing is actually shooting for TP these days. Unless your /rng and all your doing is ranged attacking / qding and riding barrage and triple shot its not worth it. Very rarely are you in such situation unless your in a large group.

Care to link that?

COR has 7 pieces of Snapshot gear including that dagger, and Snapshot roll and atma also. I believe that's significant enough.

IMO, shooting on COR is actually a better way to DD than meleeing, unless you're fighting EXP mob or none-NM mobs in 4 cities dyna/einherjar/salvage etc. Those mobs die too fast that you probably won't have a chance to land any shot if you /ra. For NM, melee kinda feed too much TP and puts you in AoE range, plus COR's melee gear is now wayyy behind other melee jobs, there's no way you'll be competitive in terms of dmg output if you melee. Being able to deal dmg outside of AoE range is what makes DDing on this job worthwhile IMO, or else I can just change to another melee job and do even more dmg. Or maybe you can melee if you want certain !!! to proc, and that's pretty much it.

Tank jobs like NIN or MNK with right atma should be able to hold hate no problem. Even if you use a PLD tank, they should still be able to pop 1.2k Vorpal often, although in terms of hold hate ability PLD is much lower than MNK XD.

A lot of NMs I've fought I choose to shoot instead, simply just to avoid TP feed and out of AoE range, unless I'm getting melee WS!!!, or fighting easy NMs that doesn't spam AoE.

I don't see how any of hose situations make ahooting hard. RA on things like iron giants is very easy, as is anything that moving around. Hit RA with in 25 is no difficult task.

If the cor is top DD and out "tanking a lolpld" (ppm bring plds?) get some better friends.

And in low man, how does it take too much time to shoot? Between buffs what else are you doing? Gun dot is pretty nice these days, and gets better every update. Melee hasnt changed in months...

Can only buff a spell after its been cast, if someone cast something else it lands before qd, it wont get buffed. Generally in lowman a lot of things are kited not straight tanked, with qd imusualy the one on top or near top of hate list.

As far as I can see no one has actually ever tested that. I checked both wikis and even googled several message boards about it. If you have a link id be interested to read it.

I just tried RR atma while spamming /ra in abyssea with AF3+1 hands.

I'd say RR atma boost my /ra dmg way more than SA atma.
In that case maybe AF3+1/+2 hands is better than w hands for /ra TP as well because of the crit bouns?
Or maybe good for Evisceration set?
