That's just the way it is most of the time, luck of the draw yadda yadda. It will go like that 90% of the time and then you will have one run where you will have 3 in a row for 12k and 1 for 40k pull hate and kill everyone. Barrage has extra levels of randomness because it's not like having 95% racc means you won't miss a hit towards the beginning

Pretty much a brand new RNG here.

2 Questions:

1 - Does Recycle gear need to be equipped when the actual shot goes off or just pre-shot?

2 - Why stacking STR for Jishnu which has a DEX mod?

Preshot gear is Snapshot and Rapid Shot
TP and WS is Ranges Attack, Ranged Accuracy, Recycle, Store TP, and Stats

Even though it is a DEX mod, STR gear often pulls ahead of it for damage. Also, for ranged attacks, DEX does not increase your Crit Hit Rate, AGI does.

I see, thank you.

No idea why the quote just quoted part of the post.

Back with another set of questions.
Rapid Shot -vs- Snapshot.

1. I've been using a Rapid Shot set (Friend told me it was better in large amounts then Snapshot) but it seems to be coming out behind. How much is snapshot worth compared to Rapid shot like on a Snap/Rapid type deal?

2. BG says the Snapshot + on Empy Body/Head +1 is the same as +2. Is this correct?

3. How much Snapshot is on the Mustela brais? I don't have access to the Bee Delve win yet.

Snapshot is better because its always active. Rapid shot needs to proc, so its random.

Ok, so what about the other 2 questions?

Frankly there's no 100% answer, yet. A lot of people go with full snapshot builds because, as said, it's always active so it's easier for people to feel the improvement. There's a lot of people doing napkin math to compare the two who will give you many different answers. Fortunately, there's not too many spots with conflicting interest. I went from Sylvan +2 to AF+1 head when it came out and didn't notice an astronomical difference. I never got Wuk. Boots, so I use Arcadian. I'd probably still use Wuk. if I had them though, and I still use Sylvan +2 in body slot opposed to relic +1, for what it's worth.

To my knowledge Mustella was never tested. I believe Sylvan +1 and +2 are the same.

another issue with rapid shot is how much it reduces delay is variable. not only does it not happen all the time, how much it reduces when it does is unreliable.

Another question ahoy!

What path for the Cibitshavore bow? Want to make sure before I waste my Airlixir +2s. Thinking Path C for the STP and RAcc.

I'd go with C since :

1)Worse Jishnu's numbers than A, but not by an astronomical amount.

2)The utility of both STP+7 and Racc may either help you reach a more comfortable x-hit, or allow you to make swaps elsewhere for an overall gain(such as swapping out Kyujutsugi for Arcadian +1 in midshot), depending on your gear availability.

That being said, I'm not a career bow user so I'm not sure how it stacks up compared to other options(Kahmir Boss Bow, Skrimish +2, JSE?), but if this is the only option you're considering I'd recommend C.

Good point. Anyone know how good the JSE is? The Skirmish I'm writing off due to my history of horrible Aug rolls and the Delve boss bow is out of reach for me atm.

EDIT: Spreadsheeted it. With my gear Cibit wins by a nose.

I'm not sure about JSE, but the Hangaku-no-Yumi would be a nice alternative to Falubeza and will save you lixer costs. Honestly, there isn't a wrong choice with current content.

anyone have anyluck with the autora addon? doing marj all day is making my fingers hurt lol

I've gotten it but it just doesn't do anything. (of course I follow the directions included with it)

I'm a gun rng if that makes a difference with the delay to set.

Bump, because im in same boat.

If its just for skill ups a script should work would work fine.
This is what I used for my bow so for a Machine Crossbow you might need to make the delay longer.
Remember to test it first so it doesn't try to over lap shots and you get the dreaded "You must wait longer to preform that action."

If you need to heal use Curing Waltz III between shots. Don't forget to have Sakura out as well she helps A TON. Went from 140-417 in like 5 hours.

Since you have 99 SAM, I'd say path C. It's amazing for samurai, basically a must-have item at rank 15, and hangs pretty well for ranger. The extra store TP makes it an easy bow to 4-hit.

just back from a break trying to regear my rng. i was messing around with spreadsheet using tojil as target for higher content. rcb's preludeX2 minuet5 chaos/hunt rolls and for tp set i got this
ItemSet 324206

now i know theres some upgrades i can make, but DMII skirmishII delveII are kinda off limits till i get some more playtime. working on relic/af+1 slowly. My main question is i feel weird using goading and af3+2 legs, but im going to assume its the STP pushing it ahead for me?

I believe recycle doesn't happen durong overkill(or the augment from arcadian beret doesn't ?) I tested twice during invincible Elvaan and I never got any tp back from recycle with invincible+overkill up.

Otherwise I do get 5 TP back; either I was really unlucky, or something was wrong, did anyone ever notice recycle proc during overkill/double shot ?

Bounty Shot? So it seems it consumes ammo that isn't coming back from scavenge or recycle proc or was I just that unlucky lol. Managed to fire off a bunch of bounty shot's at KB and hit scavenge nada and checked holy hell I shot half of my ammo lol.

Just to clarify that was actually against the bow from Tenzen. Mistook that for JSE since I was looking for a bow but either way I didn't Spreadsheet the Delve boss bow since it wasn't an option for me.
