Ok, well, maybe Ninja in some cases.

Let's say Corsair becomes another enfeebling job, one that relies on Hits and Misses of ranged attacks opposed to a WHM or RDM's Magic Resists. I see two things developing here: RDM and Corsair become equal level enfeeblers, but in different situations (See any PLD vs. NIN tank thread). Corsair Enfeebling could be used on mobs with High magic resist rates.

Now, take that, and look at Ranger's job abilities: Barrage, Sharpshot, Marksmanship Weaponskills, Accuracy traits.

Does the idea of Barrage + Enfeebling or Barrage + Buffing get anyone else curious?

I think it'll largely depend on whether a Corsair's enfeebling/buffing is based on Ammunition, job abilities, or Weaponskills (that'd be interesting, and also potentially problematic). Ammo and weaponskills will logically work with Barrage, but Job Abilities might not.

this makes me hot in the pants. barrage + refresh bullets ftw! possible 18mp/tick refresh (assuming barrage hits all 6 times and each refresh bullet does 3/tick)? Maybe they'll only do 1mp/tick but stack with each other so you can shoot people multiple times and stack on the refresh (to a point?)... i wonder if you'll have to buy special bullets for different buffs/enfeebs... that would complete the gil-based jobs since we already have a DD and a tank that does their job by throwing gil at the enemy
it will be interesting nonetheless to see how corsair functions... =)

I dont see the potency of ranged "attacking" have an effect on anything except... attacking. I dont think if a corsair could pump out 309 bullets with barrage, it would make a difference as far as buffs go.

I dunno, I find it suspicious that they use a "Hexagun" and there are 6 people in a party.
Also, SE said "buffer" not "enfeebler"...

Yup I agree but, I dont think that even if Cors use their guns to do the actual buffing that it will happen by using /shoot . They show the beardo corsair using a weaponskill so there is no question the will use their guns to attack using /shoot just like everyone else.

I think what ever Corsairs do, will be done by using job abilities or something to that effect.

i dont really see shooting bullets at party members :/


maybe there's an aspir bullet that makes the mp go to your pt members~

[omnishawn]

I agree I dont think the Corsair will use a weapon to Buff ppl. I think that mabe they will have some sort of slot ability that can decide on a buff or sumthing to that extent....im just basing that off what i read about SE wanting to call it gambler

[Terramage]

JA: Random Buff dice roll
0-99 bad things happen to your pt
100-199 paralyze
200-299 cure 2
300-399 haste
400-499 curaga ect..
o.O thats what i think/hope it will be like

[Hitsugaia]

An Aspir/TP drain bullet would be sexy.

I'm also a bit concerned about Hate control with Gamble. I'd be willing to be if they had any Gamble results that royally messed with hate, conservative tanks would probably not allow use of Gamble.

[Germonik]

I'm not even going to bother wondering how Corsair is gonna work anymore. Just guessing is a big gamble.

i take it you never played monster hunter. cure shot antidote shot etc.

[karril]

Just imagine some Galkan pirate aiming this big ass gun at the little taru whm "Seriously! You wont feel a thing... i SWEAR!"

[Fallyn`]

w, that would be funny.

I was under the impression that the gun was merely a weapon, and the dice roll or w/e was the buffs.

[Jigon]

I was just thinking about somthing. Im sure everyone remebers that Cait Sith from FFVII had a limit break called dice where he threw dice and the number that he rolled turned into damage what if that becomes one of corsairs ablitys.

That would be interesting.. :satisfied

[Hyjynx]

That was Setzer's normal attack >_>;

There was a relic item he could get that would give him h4x damage ( I think it was called fixed dice).
