So I'm a lolRNG now....

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

Yup.

Cant wait. Although Bahamut has some serious Scorpion Arrow shortages.

I am actually slowly lvling WW to make my own ammo, its the only way to go.

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

Yeah, ranged attackers get access to oodles and oodles of ranged accuracy gear, its just all over. The bone-type rings are a big and cheap source of that accuracy. Then there's stuff like the Archer's Knives, Trailer's Kukri, PCC, Fransisca, Noct Set, AF Body, Jaridah armor, Pahluwan armor... just lots of it out there and easy to get.

Combined with the Accuracy Bonus traits (of which you get your last at 70), you'll actually be able to drop some of this gear for a STR/Attack build later on.

And just as a side note to that there are some, shall we say, misinformed RNGs that say you can really only tap /WAR at 70+ because of the final accuracy traits at that level. You can sub /WAR for better damage now if you wanted to, its just a matter of watching your hate. /SAM won't even begin to pick up until 50 due to the placement of Hasso.

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

Hasso is utterly meaningless for RNG; the only time you can use Hasso is when wielding a weapon that we have no native skill in, which immediately cancels out the haste and +accuracy. The STR bonus on Hasso barely makes up for the STR you lose by switching from /WAR to /SAM in the first place.

/SAM isn't useful until LV60.

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

I was more referring to Meditate + Hasso. Hasso is largely margina overall, you lose Attack Bonus and Berzerk by passing up /WAR for /SAM and only get marginal STR in return, but its still something. SAM is more about the TP returns and, eventually, Siegan as an evasion alternative to /NIN.

WAR is your best offensive sub, NIN is your best defensive/accuracy sub. SAM sits right in the middle, building up more TP for the lack of attack and Seigan for the absence of shadows.

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

If you are going to 'get atleast something' with hasso, you might as well /war.

unless you dont have /war leveled, save /sam until 60+. it doesnt become the 'middle' sub until then.

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

Forgot Meditate was 30. Bah, my bad. SAM is probably the most damn boring subjob I've had to endure. The abilities are just too spread out for my liking. I'd like to forget I ever levelled other melee jobs for subs. I'm too wired on jobs that constantly move.

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

We have a rng in the ls who only has /sam. Then complains about how his smn does more damage overall. I did try and point out that levelling war and nin might be an idea at some point, but - there we go. He is levelling sam with /rng only as well...

Me, I'm levelling all subs for sam before I even start it!

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

Ding 41.

Went 39-41 in Gustav. Interesting experience...

Firstly we had a PLD that didnt like to be hit and shortly disbanded. ANother one for the blist.

When we finally get going the XP is great. Bow dmg at 40 with Battle Bow +1 and Scorps really picked up - over 100 per shot, about 115 on the "sweet spot". Topped my highest Barrage as /nin so far at 480something (I had Warcry on me...wonder how much diff that made).

Now I dinged 41, I can get my first AF, Sniper Bow.

And jesus, Hot Shot and Flaming Arrow are really getting old -.-

Subs are a chore for me since I run two characters. I'd like to finish DRG on the Taru someday, but that means finishing off a second set of SAM and THF subjobs and, well, screw that for the time being. I need /SAM of RNG and /THF for BLU and then /BLU and /RDM for COR. If I leave all the /THF and /SAM jobs to Kitten, Foobar just needs a /NIN sub for his BST and BRD.

I'm just gonna finish subs on Kitten and see what WotG holds for my taru job-wise, not gonna pound my brains out to have all subs on both characters.

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

Ok, quicky:

Which should I use in EXP?





Not sure how these weigh against each other...

I would say BB+1. AGI+4 on AF = RACC +2 which BB+1 has anyway, but BB=1 also offers RATK+15.

Just higher delay.

[Kirsteena]

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

Honestly. Sniping bow is storage +1...

[hongman]

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

Bit like RDM's AF1 then -.-;;

[Kirsteena]

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

And most of the other AF1 weapons. Have you seen the blm one? MP+20 go go go...

And Kitten, with that many subs, I would be pretty much the same =) it was bad enough getting all the ones for rdm, and I still haven't even looked at blu!

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

I got my rng af bow and dropped it on the spot. Hey hong Gl on o bow it is why I don't level my ranger any more, 0/25!!! 24 of those i have soloed as nin/rdm... /sigh back to camping that damn goblin.

[hongman]

Re: So I'm a lolRNG now....

Iv camped that sucker 4 times, and only seen 1 pop - for which we didnt get drop (this was for a friend).

The pop window is such that having a ToD is nearly useless. Just hit and hope.

I'll solo it as RDM/NIN, though it would be nice for some company in those lonely hours. Prob wont bother till I'm at least 55 though, which could be forever.

As soon as I have passed the 37 mark, looking for a PT is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not enough people even flagged up to make a party. Just gotta hope for an invite from a rep :/
