New Rolls for COR 91-95Follow

I would have used Companion's Roll when I went out to help my BST friend who was soloing NMs the other day. Beast Roll + Companion's is a nice set for a BST when there's no need for pet accuracy from Puppet Roll. I see a place for this one.

Conserve TP roll is pretty lame. Never going to beat Regain, and it's probably more worthwhile to use another DD roll in any case. Fighter's or Samurai seem more useful than Conserve TP even from a TP-focused perspective.

At any rate, I hope these situational rolls are cheap. They really don't need to be 100k+.

Well, they did reduce costs significantly from the constantly increasing cost scheme when Dancer's and Scholar's Rolls released. But yeah, looks like everything these days is hovering somewhere around 100k. One can still hope.



Bolter's is one of my most used rolls :)

Blitzer's is great for 1h/h2h jobs, including COR meleeing. Blitzer's/Rogues with crit atma for 1handers/h2h is actually very effective. I also find it useful if I'm running around soloing easier stuff on COR/DNC for whatever reason (did this a lot while working on ice magian trials).

Allies is situational for sure, but has one valuable niche in that it's an excellent roll for Primeval Brew (e.g. Wizard's+Allies for Aeolian Edge or some other magical WS that can SC with itself). And saying "yeah but you can kill anything under brew" misses the point that the faster you brew a tough NM, the more time the brewer can save to lock timer on a conflux/martello and keep popping more NMs to kill under that brew.

Overall I'd break the 76+ rolls down like this:

Highly useful: Tactician's, Bolter's
Regularly useful: Caster's, Blitzer's
Situationally useful: Allies, Companion's
Rarely useful: Courser's, Miser's

So this update is a little underwhelming, but overall not really that bad of a range of new rolls since 76. Though I'd hope to at least see one more really good roll in the 96-99 range.

Or you can go farm in Dyna or WoE, can easily earn 1M a night.

Yes there are many easy ways to earn Gil in game. Still doesn't make me want to spend it on these rolls.

And I agree that Bolters is a great roll. That with Casters and Tacticians are the newer rolls I use most. Blitzers very rarely as I still find more utility in fighters rogues chaos and Tacticians.

Well I actually hope they will adjust the potency of some of our rolls next update. That would be far more exciting than the addition of these two rolls.

Seriously, Evoker's, DNC's, Hunters are all woefully bad at this stage of the game. Basically anything with a static bonus vs. a percentage based bonus is getting a bit too weak compared to other support jobs.

Gallants as a -PDT roll would be sweet.

I agree we should hopefully get a better roll or two from 96-99. Wouldn't it be great if we got two god mode rolls. -MDT, -PDT, Shell, Haste, Protect, Regen "Mighty Guard" type roll and an MAB, MACC, ATT, ACC, Regain, Refresh roll. THen we'd be super buffers for sure lol.

For now 91-95 is going to be meh unless they buff our current rolls and add that 3rd roll capability.

Yeah, something like:

Lucky: 10% chance of annulling damage
Unlucky: 1% chance of annulling damage
11: 15% chance of annulling damage.
