New job class "Corsair"

Post by **Holydragoon** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 12:55 am

I don't think corsair will be like ranger, I think its going to be more of an enfeebler type job.

Anyone ever see FF: Unlimited?

corsair hexagun with bullets containing abilities reminds me of Kaze a lot. My room mate thought the same.

I am sorry...but you all seem to forget this is a Gambler calss...even if they are related to pirate by the stupid stoy they have given -.- they are still Gamblers, yes the word Corsair means many things related to pirates, but if you remember they only changed the name because they did not wan to use the name Gambler, because of its "negative" role in US -.- and honestly if you are going to come back to the game just because you can now be a "pirate" -.- .....wow that silly Everyone is getting all moist over this "Pirate" class and relly everyone needs to chill, I am excited too that new jobs are being released, I was excited about Bluemage and about Corsair, and I wil lalso be excited abou tthe third job they tell us about, but really.... chill the hell out, you wont beable to have your own ships, you wont have a crew, you wont have peglegs or hooks, and you will not be saying argg and matty ( atleast not in any of my PTs)

Chill out? Chill out? People are excited and wondering all about this new job just like they did when Blue Mage was announced, and when the third job will be announced in a month or two, guess what? You'll have to suffer through the same thing.

Okay so what if Corsair has the abilities of a Gambler but looks like a Pirate? IT LOOKS COOL!!! FF has always been an awesome game that plays on people's imagination and the love of story telling. What's so annoying about knowing some people will play Corsair because they love Pirates? Do you think they won't be able to use their gambler abilities? Of course not, THAT is silly >.>

Sheer speculation:

Corsair is mostly a Gun Mage with Gambler like JAs and 2 Hour.

Main job party support with stat reducing bullets? ability of hexagun? Gambler like JAs and 2 hour will be combat worthy though. Will get Ranged WSs. Expect the Corsair's other weapon choices to be the same Swords and Daggers that a THF can wield. Perhaps Polearm, think Boarding Pike, historicaly a short pike, 6' or so with hooks behind the head.

No parrot, eyepatch, or peg leg.

Kailea, you fail the relize the cheezzy obsession of pirates that the internet has brainwashed us ALL to love, just like it has with ninjas. And how pirates, and ninjas are great enemies.

Well so what if its a brain wash? My brain has been a little dirty anyway.

Still now we can be pirate/ninja and kill enemies Drunken Monkey style

I can't help with that in game, but limeaid and dark rum makes a pretty good imitation IRL.

Now we can do ballista with one team being NIN and the other being CSR, then we can fibnally settle that age old question.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck had opposable thumbs?

or was it this one...

What is the sound of one hand playing Soul Calibur 3?

If a man is in the woods and no women are around within 100 miles, is he still wrong?

I like that one

I gotta try out that limeaid and dark rum mix

The Corsair job tempts me to fix my gaming PC, and buy FFXI again. I'm assuming the gear being worn is the AF. Do you think thief would be a good sub job for it? I dunno. Level 50 Corsair, and level 25 Thief with flee sounds very appealing.

Of course. Why wouldn't he be?

Go for it kitty.

COR = back line support with ranged weapon debuffs and (I presume) damage. So possible subs look like /RNG Acc bonus, /SAM TP gain, /WAR good 'ol Berserk, /NIN blink & Dual wield, /WHM because every back line support class HAS to /WHM....

Without close quarter melee and SA I can't see /THF although it is the sub of choice for RPing.

I could be wrong even though I am not a man in the woods with no women within 100 miles.

That's a good point, Corsairs' debuff bullets have a chance of missing as well as not sticking? That's gotta suck then.

It's not a DD class, so /WAR and /SAM probably a bit pointless. /NIN might be useful for getting nice stats from weapons, /WHM will probably be the way to go and /RDM if you really hate WHM that much.
Yet we don't know what stats CORs would like, I'm guessing INT and MND which would make the mage jobs useful subs ^^

im still taking bets that corsair is gonna be breeded into /rng after it comes out and serves more as a DD than support, using alitle support and alot of damage. i might be wrong, but it seems to me if the job lacks refresh (which it probably will) otherwise it will serve virtually no role in a party.

Post by **Sugami** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 9:07 pm

Heh all depends on how much damage they can inflict, if they don't have refresh then they probably won't be wanted for their "support" role and people would rather have them replaced by a DD. If that's the case and doing /NIN or /RNG doesn't rival the damage of any other DD class they'll probably be shunted after a while ^^;
