Variation

high levels.... well, at my level the pld should be able to still hold back hate after a nice sidewinder (1200+ damage). The reason is that by the time rngs generate enough tp for a nice shot, the pld should have enough hate already to hold over one sidewinder.

face it, 120 damage a shot is good damage, but plds are flashing, voking, curing themselves for 180+ a pop, and a bunch of hate genearting crap. unless i go nuts on the mob (dumb thing to do) the pld should have hate at all times, minus the sidewinder, in which the pld can pull off a combo of sentinel, shield bash, and rampart. (or at least cover).

in any case.... low lvl rngs shouldn't really have that much hate. ^^

I wouldn't say RNGs are "boring" to play at all. Unlike others, you have control over when you attack, and also unlike others, the rate at which you attack has a LARGE impact on the battle. You are also generally required to be the puller, which is much more occupying and dynamic than most of the other classes "sit and wait for the next monster" agenda. But on the whole RNGs do about the same amount as other classes - just in signifigantly different ways.

As for accuracy, before level 28(maybe even 30) you'll be pleased to see a 70% hit rate, and you'll be flabbergasted if you land 3 hits in succession. As for level 28+ I can't say as I'm still one level away, but I have high hopes that I'll be taking advantage of Blink a lot more often^^

I love RNG its not boring to me at all. I mean pulling will definatley keep you busy working for that xp chain. Then sure you fire arrow after arrow after arrow with the occasional dagger swipe but you gain tp so fast that you get to use WS a lot plus you get cool things like barrage which is handy for killing off and enemy fast to keep the xp chain rolling. I think warrior is boring but thats just me, play what you like .

use this macro if you get bored of pressing alt+D


/ra <t>
/wait 8 (varies on delay, try it out)
/ra <t>
/wait 8
/ra <t>
/echo Repeat

What does /echo Repeat do?

[JayblahX]

What does /echo Repeat do?

It displays the text message "Repeat" to the user, and only the user. When he sees the text "Repeat," he knows his macro is ready to re-use.

hmm.. forgot to tell that any macro cancels out each other, so if you report your tp or something (during that lazy /ra macro) press the macro again becouse it will be cancelled >.>;;;;

that would make you shoot slower :3
rapid shot activation happens quite often

Meh, the majority of the time Rapid Shot only shaves off like, 10% of the shooting time (basically unnoticable).

As for the macro, I would reccomend against doing it, unless you take measures to do little enough damage per shot to allow the tank to keep hate. Unless you wanna make an uber macro that casts utsusemi too XD

Utsusemi is so much . So far (level 45 rng, I'm a n00b!) I've been able to pull aggro most of the time since I started PTing at 25.
When pulling you never have to worry about the mob landing a few hits. That extra route to avoid adds is never a problem.
Plus, overaggroing isn't really a problem, you overaggro, let mob hit 2 times, refresh utsu on third and voila, 6 hits nullified. I DIE in 6ish hits without utsusemi at 45.

(Mobs also miss me a lot, dunno how that is for /war sub but with +22agi and +17evasion I dodge a surprising amount of attacks.)

Maybe on a crossbow. It's about 50% reduction on longbow types when it actually works (about 3 seconds total recycle before you can shoot vs 6). Rate is ~10% of the time without the AF hat, and ~20-25% of the time with it.
