I can't speak for gears, but that is definitely not needed for the apex promy camp if you have a brd with honor march and 1 madrigal. I was using my base set and was parsing 96% acc. Judicious use of dark shot removes the +evasion buff, or a mage casting distract as well.

If it's about max acc, I'd also swap to carmine mask +1 + carmine cuisses +1. Path B has higher acc than the options in your set, + an extra 20 for set bonus.

Why meg legs instead of Malignance. Not only that's better acc but also you cap haste. This set has 24%.

Malignance only adds 1 Acc. But yes, the Store TP and Haste make up for loss of triple attack. Good call. This set is just what I tossed together in a PUG. improving on it is the goal. :)

In the last 2 months I've had like 9-10 request about sharing the COR DPS Calculator Spreadsheet (3 in the last 2 days). I've doubled checked that it is downloadable by everyone still, as late as a minute ago, and it is. I won't share it for you to update my copy on google spreadsheets.

If you want to update it then download it yourself and post it on here, someone else was going to take it over but I don't think anything came of it.

Yeah honestly I don’t think Cor can do those apex’s without a bard. I went on a run with a Geo and my accuracy was pure *** (like34%). Those apex are evasive af

For AM3 set is there a reason we aren’t using Rostam A over fettering/gleti? Im assuming the dagger proc and AM3 can’t both proc at the same time for double triple dmg?

I wrote some code to reach a minimum Snapshot and then maximize the Rapid Shot stat, with the inclusion of Crepuscular Ring, you can get a few gains on all three sets. Assuming I am not missing any gear or augments, these are the results I got.

Edit: I did forget Taeon gear initially.

More Rapid shot in these sets, but check my math please

Code
 sets.precast.RA = {ammo=gear.RAbullet,neck="Comm. Charm +2", -- in gear 60 Snapshot 38 rapid
        head={ name="Taeon Chapeau", augments={'"Snapshot"+5','"Snapshot"+5',}},
        body="Laksa. Frac +3",
		hands="Lanun Gants +3", 
    legs={ name="Adhemar Kecks +1", augments={'AGI+12','"Rapid Shot"+13','Enmity-6',}},
        back=gear.MEVA, 
		waist="Yemaya Belt", 
		feet="Meg. Jam. +2", 
		ring1="Crepuscular Ring"} 
		
	sets.precast.RA.Flurry = set_combine(sets.precast.RA, {hands={ name="Carmine Fin. Ga. +1", augments={'Rng.Atk.+20','"Mag.Atk.Bns."+12','"Store TP"+6',}},head="Chasseur's Tricorne +1"}) --45Snap 63 rapid
	sets.precast.RA.Flurry2 = set_combine(sets.precast.RA.Flurry, {feet="Pursuer's Gaiters"}) --35 Snap 73 rapid

Wow, am I correct in reading you have 10 snapshot on your taeon chapeau? Are you able to get both leaf and dusk augments on once piece of Alluvion Skirmish Armor?? :0

Edit:
From BG - “Alluvion Skirmish Armor can have all three Stone-type augments at once, but must be traded one at a time with the equipment”

Thanks bippin, learned something new!

I forgot the augment on kecks, so that does improve them a bit. Updated the sets.

This set is 38 Rapid right?

Cause belt/body is extra gear you don't need and could use what i posted.

edit: I am assuming people have Lanun Gants +3 for Triple shot

It is, but body is still useful to have. Only the belt is really useless now. But you also wouldn't have to deal with random augments this way.

If you already have Taeon hat, I'd go with your set since after adding keck's rapid shot, it's the only set for both COR and RNG I have gotten the belt as an output. My code just prints the first set in the lexicographical order.

For what? Especially for 30M? Like Bippin said, only for some super niche higher accuracy triple shot set. Taeon augments are not as hard or as random as getting mab/wsd/agi on herculean or something, it's a matter of a little time nad probably costs 30x less. Also Taeon can be used for THF, RNG and NIN if you need it.

Still has 10 store TP for the loss of 5 TS and still better defensively when that's relevant.

Still feel niche and with empy getting +2 and +3 in probably 6 months, it's gonna be most likely useless even for that. I wouldn't make that investment for sure now and would sell it if I have it already. If you swim in Gil's and have everything for every job you play, then I guess it wouldn't matter.

Most COR probably have one anyways if they copy paste the guide, so they're not having to go out of their way to buy one. You also make it sound like I'm suggesting to do that when I said if you have Taeon(from RNG, for example) already, go with that since you can then toss the belt. The body is already comparable to "BIS" Empy +1 as is, toss on the additional magic evasion and accuracy when relevant, and I'd say it's less niche than some other crap people buy or do.

Both work fine, my question was more I wanted to make sure I was not gimping preshot but not having one, I was checking that i was getting the same rapid shot either way.

It is, like I said it just prints out the set in lexicographical order that it comes up with, not that it's the only way to get the combination.

If anybody is interested in maintaining the sets in the guide, please send me a PM. I know a lot of people were following the guide, I kinda feel bad about abandoning it.

Hi all! Can anyone post gearsets for V15 Bumba with no Nyame ranks. Did a run with a veteran group and we got the win but then i was gear shamed and dropped and i didn't get it because my gear "was" bis at some point. Also my Cor is M20 and I pretty much got bashed for my rolls and my Savage blade damaage Mines was 36k, Bard was 37k, War was 52k and Drg was 53k. Granted they were all Nyame R18-20 on all pieces.

Pretty much interested in roll, hybrid and savage sets for Bumba.

Nothing has really changed for roll or melee builds in years, Savage blade would be the only set that has changed with Nyame.

Can post your sets for input.

Edit: Also just check OP gear is up to date before odyssey still

BRD Savage will always be stronger if BRD holds to effective 3000TP, because both Cor and Brd will be using mostly Nyamewith some WSD relic or AF pieces, but BRD has stronger accessories. Mainly neck having 10% PDL is biggest difference in attack capped situation.

EDIT: COR would normally use Ikenga body too, but with Warcry from War, moonshade and tp bonus gun you are at minimum 2950 effective tp, so Ikenga won't be better I think.
