More update details were posted today on the PlayOnline site. The details look great for some of the less desierable jobs. My focus is on corsair since I already have the job at 47 and am at the threshold for some of the great abilities and armour the job gets.

Corsair

After the version update, corsairs across Vana'diel will be the happy recipients of several job enhancements.
For starters, the effect of Phantom Roll will be augmented so that the effects can be felt even when neither a large nor Lucky Roll is made. To make a comparison, the efficacy of a corsair's roll will generally exceed that of a bard's song. Should a corsair roll an 11, the efficacy will, for the most part, exceed that of two bard's songs.

The length of immobility a corsair suffers during their rolls has also been shortened. In addition, the merit point-accessible ability "Fold" will function to reduce the likelihood of busting, as well as modifying the effect of rolls.

We will also be adding new gear that will further increase the range of Phantom Roll. When using the roll and this gear in tandem, even players engaged in combat at some distance from the corsair will fall within the area of effect. And as if that weren't enough, players can even expect new ammunition with rather enticing damage ratings.

I'm seriously considering leveling this job after dark knight. Our linkshell could definately use some corsairs and I know I would be good at the job. The people currenlty leveling corsair are much slower than I am to exp. Odds are I could get to 75 before them even though I have seven levels to finish on dark knight and am about ten levels behind them on corsair. I wonder how corsair is at soloing. I'll level my ranger sub to compliment corsair for solo exp. I should be able to get sixty or so with no problems. Ammo might be expensive.
