Preliminary Update Model ResultsFollow

It means you're right on the cusp of Sage. Same thing happened to Hyrist a while back.

I don't really care about my ratings, but it still confuses me when I post something that I wholly intend to be decent or default the next time I find it and it's excellent.

The other way around isn't so confusing.

The 2 new COR abilities are indeed new rolls. Their animations are a little esoteric, but the first looks worryingly like movement+. But that's just a guess.

Pics:

Roll 1 (ROM/246/101)
Roll 2 (ROM/246/102)

Shame, would've liked to see some sort of standalone DD ability added.

**** I hope not. Then it'll be haste+ corsairs, and never anything else ever. If it is, WHM and RDM better damn well get 25% haste II so I never have to use this roll. I rather liked being able to give attack or double attack or something else the BRD wouldn't/couldn't, while the BRD+WHM gives all the haste. I LIKED my party's damage not sucking.

Although there are no cards in those animations! Maybe they're abilities!

yeah, I'm betting the cards are a separate animation, but I can hope...

Haste roll plz

They also lack haste. Guess which one is most important?

Even if someone has haste, march, hasso, and 22% gear haste, and you got a magical haste effect (which would bring you from 35% haste to 43.75%, assuming it was 9% or more haste) and hasso, you go from 67->75.75 which is a 36% damage increase. Going from 80% acc to capped is only 18.75%. Going from 70% to capped acc is 35.75% increase. For atk to win out, you'd need upwards of 175~250 atk, depending on atk, and def.

Ie. haste > you.

Being an Atk/Acc ***** is more fun?

Actually haste would still win at 70% hit rate, see the math in my edited post.

They would actually be too close to matter at 70% hit rate, but only if you got an 11 on hunter's.

I also left out the part about 70% hit rate being practically impossible, without being naked. A war with merited GA, kitty pants, and haub will have ~70% hit rate. Throw on chiv, snipper, aurum, rajas and hasso, and that's already 85% for level 82 birds (90% for 81 birds).

Don't worry, my fellow CORs, we won't become Haste ******** the BRD, RDM, WHM, SCH, BLU, SMN will cover the whole magic based Haste thing for us.

Yeah, right!!

I can already envision a party with RDM, BRD and COR and the melees ******** cause the COR ain't using Haste Roll on top of BRDs songs and RDMs Hastega.... Bonus points for the WAR that removes all his Haste gear cause he won't need it anymore!

"Bring on teh Haste Rollzzz!!!"

/wrist

So that RDM can conserve the mp from Hastega? Sure, in that case there'd be no point in inviting the RDM...

BRD + COR + DNC ftw >.>

If COR gets a Haste Roll we could actually find ourselves with something called too much Haste from magic based sources. Somewhere out there we could be entering a point of redundancy, which could maybe not happen, until it is released, if ever, and we know the math behind it.

Problem with all your number crunching is that we got no idea what a COR Haste 'roll would be like. Could be anywhere from a 5% Haste on a Unlucky Roll to a massive 30% on an 11 with the proper Job in the party (I bet it'll be DRG) or Commodore Tricorne.
