Well Bau, I'll most likely be taking a break from RNG until SE fixes RNG up for Wings (if they fix RNG up) and work on SAM again.

It's still the top DD, but the gap has been steadily closing with DRG actually out damaging it in merits now. Aside from X-bow utility and Guns on HNMs, the job doesn't give much reason to spend the money on it anymore unless you really enjoy shooting stuff (which I do, but not for the money it costs. Not when I'm only going to be marginally stronger than a DRK)
malacite i out damage rangers on my drg before the buffs, not shitty geared rangers either.
Ranger got overly nerfed because of no damage cap then was hurt for awhile no is balanced with most of the jobs pre the 2h boost, which is probably going to be reduced. Why must it be rng> drg tho?
So it always has to have a brd, just keep stroking the epeen Kitten. Never could be that a loldrg could rape a rng in parse... funny tho that is what the rng said pre-party, made my day shutting her mouth =D

Not just DRG, but all other physical DD because RNG pay money. It's a frustrating concept, but as long as a job has to pay for it's performance it should get ample returns.
If anything, RNGs are the one who hurts more in the DD department just for the fact that Haste doesn't affect ranged attacks. Do you know how much it sucks that you guys get all that haste gear while all we get is a lol6% haste? Our DoT could be so much better if we got haste. Hell, I'd be happy in SE increased Snapshot's haste % to 5% per merit instead of 2%.
Mal's right, RNG performs only as wel as the RNG has gil in his pocket. w/o gil we're nothing more than Lv 1 THFs with knives.

It would have been a lot better if SE had simply made different ranged weapons with various effects rather than different ammo types.
This would cut down the costs of the job considerably and make it a lot easier to level the playing field. It wouldn't be realistic, and it'd mean a few less items in the consumables market (they'd also have to change TP loss for weapon swaps ><) but would probably still be better.
I'm not saying RNG should be completely uncontested in all situations (though to be fair, guns > all other weapons) but nor should there be only a marginal gap either.
It's a real bitch to balance, and primarily because money is major factor in RNG's performance. And the same goes double for NIN. Money holds that job back from being an insane DD - _ - (I dare someone to EXP regularly on NIN/BLM and tell me it's not an issue)
If money wasn't such a huge problem for me, I'd be using Kabura Arrows instead of just using Scorps and swapping in higher arrows for WS dmg.

Why not use Marids? I know they don't quiver (thanks SE), but much cheaper than Kabura and only 2 DMG less. When I was tight on cash I'd TP Demon Arrows and WS Marid Arrows.
These days I stockpile ammo way in advance. My COR sees more action than my RNG, but burns ammo much more slowly thanks to the luxury of having a Joyeuse in melee PTs and also being a welcome invite ot manaburns. I don't even use Steel or Iron bullets for a manaburn since I just help pull, i use the level 22 bullets.
Now, If I had a K Club on RNG, damn I'd abuse the hell out of that thing just for the savings, it would be right up there with my COR on gil efficiency. You can bet I'll be sending poor little Foobar the BST to Up in Arms many, many times.
