STR Build > ACC Build

BTW, I use Squid Sushi with full ACC gears in Nny's PTs, and while I do less dmg than the STR gear + acc food, I still outdamage the guy with the full ACC gear and AtK food. He nails every bolt for more dmg than me and we were surprised when my final DPS was greater than his.

Conclusion is that while I may not do OMGWTFBBQ dmg with sushi, I can consistantly hit more and come out on top with more DPS(51+ I'm seeing 20% more acc over atk food guy). Like Kuu said, "also lastly is rangers especially control damage, not max it." I pull the least aggro in PT with my method.

And also, this isnt no 4RNG chain VTs for chain 20 PTs, we're getting Chain 5s for over 300 exp (392 highest) when we come to a leveling zone at the right levels. 1-2 levels after we can start hitting chain 7-9s for 258 or so exp. And this is all pre-slugshot.

I, myself, think STR doesnt matter until endgame. Once we get slugshot or sidewinder, I think everyone in our PT will opt for high acc.

I share this opinion. I prefer the +acc gear +atk food combo, esp since i dont have static and rarely get to xp with BRD. By doing less dmg more often you avoid hate spikes that will cause unwanted aggro. At lv42 i have +57 ranged acc, and I almost never miss with anything even on ws.

On another note this thread has been invaluable for information. Thanks for posting it, and i am extremely envious of your Static.

i perfer the other

attack gears acc food

yea more racc gears, and not even enough ratk gears, but both foods give a butt load of their perspective stat.

you eat curry your getting alot of attack, and same for sushi and racc.

its just i'd rather be king accurate then king powerfull..

My rng is lvl 33 and after reading this I don't know what to do. I just thought that you always got the best rng acc gear that you could at each lvl. Now I here talk about str builds so I don't know what to do. I eat sushibtw.

yeah it sucks because when you enter a new level rng (go from fighting gobs in yhoat. to bats in garl)

you have acc. issues for those first few levels.

(why i liked CN because theres multiple level range of mobs to fight if one rng is camped you can go chain VTs and vise a versa...


anyway the worst time this ever happened to me (where no matter how much racc you have your gonna have problems hitting)

was in gustav at 54-55, lab. of onzo at 60-61


other then those two places, i have been fine with strictly attack foods.


i'm still eating sushi even though i can hit the IT++S in onzo pretty good, because even the large amount of ratk curry gives doesnt make up for a single missed slugshot.

Str build is the greatest :D

I only wish i had a 4 rng, rdm, brd pt when i was leveling :/. Freaking lucky ass bastards

Anyways, in the end game (past 70ish) many more viable options come into play when it comes to Racc, while ample slots for Str, and or Ratk are sometimes hard to come by. For example, 5 str can be recieved by wearing wyvern helm instead of optical hat, and that racc you lost can be gained easily by wearing af2 legs or dusk trousers. Even with this i still believe Acc is highly overrated.
If given the chance i would use:

Main : Woodvilles axe
sub : Jagdplaute or Wingsword +1
rweapon : Obow (good for the whole pt :D)
head : wyvern helm
neck : rangers neck
earring : fenrirs earring / triumph earring or cassie earring (with osode)
body : kirin's osode
hands : crimson hands for normal shots, kote for ws
rings : one flame, one merman
back : Am. Mantle +1
legs : wlegs ( to run around and get those chain 20+ :DD )
feet : suzaku's sune ate for holy bolt proc, rse2 feet for ws

That however is my wish list :/, this is what i actually use:

Main : Francisca
sub : archers
rweapon : Obow
head : wyvern helm
neck : rangers necklace
earring : fenrirs / supanom.
body : Kirin's Osode
hands : crimsons for normal, kote for ws
rings : 2x mermans
back : Am. Mantle +1
legs : I currently use War brais/haidate for utsu's
feet : suzaku's sune ate for holy bolt proc, rse2 feet for ws

With this build i have more then enough Acc for VT weapons in ruavitau, and hit slugs constantly over 1100. Also using Curry in exp cuz i feel the benefits of Racc at that level is overrated.

PS. I OWN YOU NNY BWHAHA

which sushi is good for ranger?

[kowboy]

Squid Sushi gives AGI+5

Sole Sushi gives STR+5

They both give Dex+6, Acc+14% and Racc+14%.

Some RNG prefer AGI, some prefer STR. Up to you to decide which is best.
