Samurai + Yoichinoyumi

[kazuri]

Many might now that Muteki, of Seraph obtained the Yoichinoyumi for his RNG about 1-2 months ago. After that he started leveling SAM, and it hit 75 yesterday...

He posted some information via SAM/RNG with Yoichinoyumi, and what he thinks about it. Personally, he's more satisfied with SAM/RNG than SAM/WAR or SAM/THF, hitting upto 1.2k on Sidewinder on IT+, and landing hits 80~% of the time.

The link here here if anyone is wondering, not in JP or EN; clicky~

i can't read korean........... please translate if you can..... from my understanding about rng, when i talked to the ones in my LS, most of them have forsaken rng acc. and have gone for str, rng atk, and agi. i would really like to know his equip set up because Yoichinoyumi gives +20 rng acc...... and being that both sam/rng can use Yoichinoyumi, i believe it was made more for sams then rng. even the design and name of the bow is japanese, simular to shigeto bow :sweat:

Note: Just quickly roughly translated, may be important stuff missing.

Because SAMs have only C+ in Archery and will lack in power more then real RNGs starting from 65 or so, he tends to focus on RACC on slots where he can't get much STR (such as Earring). He uses 2 Flame Rings and switches to 2 Dragon Ring+1s when using WS, but keeps Peacock Charm instead of switching to something STR/AGI+ in Neck because it wouldn't boost STR hugely.

His average DMG is about 100-150 per shot, and his ranged lands about 90% on ITs and 80%~ on HNMs. (lv85's) He's pretty satisfied because SAMs do have C+ rank in Archery, and that makes a big difference. (RACC includes Sidewinder and Namas Arrow uses)

Although Namas Arrow averages for 800-900 dmg, because it has the ablility to create Skillchain: Light, it's really good. His Sidewinder hits for about 1.2k average. Blade: Ten > Namas Arrow does about 1,000 for Skillchain: Light, totalling upto 3k~ DMG when using Renkei.

He does a lot of equipment swapping. Hachiman+1 when using WS, STR+ on Rings/etc when up against mobs with low evasion, mad STR+ when using Namas Arrow, etc.

Overall he's more satisfied with /RNG than /WAR or /THF because he can top more DMG faster, and 300TP Namas Arrow > 2hr > 2 Sidewinder > Meditate > 2 Sidewinder > Icarus Wing Namas Arrow is the pwn.

i havent pt'd with any sam/rng's except one who seemed to greatly dislike firing arrows (-_-') but they seem really good. if i was going to play a second job to 75, that would probably be it.

SAM/RNG is definitely the way to go for xp purposes. Sky/HNM is a different story. I'm not too strong in ranged accuracy, maybe +55-60 and Kirin evades about 50% normal shots, but 200% sidewinder is almost guaranteed to hit (hachiman ws acc would be the solution to that)

Nama's arrow was definitely designed for samurai in mind, Coronach was designed for rangers. The final gun is more geared towards a rng then the final bow is.
