You'll Shoot Your Eye Out! - New FFXI RNG Guide

/war warcry is meh, not at all like main job war. (~7% at ML 50)

berserk is good, but empy +3 body somewhat addresses it. I find that there aren't many places I need it to hit pdl ranges.

I suppose if you assume you're always attack capped and using the maximum amount of PDL you could possibly use then yeah, berserk isn't very useful, but if there's ever any reason you could use any attack, berserk is incredible (and warcry is a minor bonus).

Also: WSD counting for all hits of a WS isn't very impactful since very few ranged WS have multiple hits and I'm not sure any of them get significant damage from their second hits.

You specifically referenced last stand, which is a 2-hit ranged WS. 10% WSD from /drg on that is at minimum 0.4 ftp added, not accounting for what TP bonus you already have.

Fencer from ML50 is 300TP bonus, which is always 0.6 http://ftp.

At 2000 effective TP, the WSD bonus from /drg is equal to /war fencer bonus.

Edit: Last Stand is a 2-hit, FTP replicating ranged ws. It has strictly linear ftp growth 2.0 => 3.0 => 4.0

Only Jishnu's Radiance and you're using that for the AM and not the WSD compared to LS.

Shooting RNG is a princess job, it doesn't accidentally go anywhere. It's planned for.

Thanks for all the responses! About what I figured, but couldn't hurt to ask.

I also see there's been a lot of posts about the Prime Bow Pinaka here, but very few posts about the Prime Gun Earp. Any thoughts on it now that it's been out a while?

Gun seems more of a Cor toy than a Rng staple, given the bullet is useful for Cor's Savage as well.

WS wise Terminus seems a bit weaker than Sarv, though I've only seen Cor use the gun.

ItemSet 396856

Any suggestions for my up-close-and-personal Sarv set? Thoughts on maybe a regal ring over the Epaminondas's ring?

Looks solid, but Ikenga's body and Sroda ring should be an improvement.

Hard agree. My R17 ikenga's vest beats out R25 nyame mail.

What about for Savage Blade with Kclub?

Thanks :)

OK, another Savage question... best offhand for when you have DW and aren't using Kclub? My reason is not having a Kclub, but I suppose also could be relevant for someone who does in situations where offhand acc is unacceptably low.

I see Gleti noted on the BGwiki guide, but IDK that I'm convinced (and that guide not mentioning Kclub already seems a little suspect in the first place). I was thinking Ternion +1, but maybe Blurred+1? Or, potentially even M.Kris still worthwhile for non-Kclub players?

Ternion would win for damage, Blurred for frequency...which often times these days is the real winner since SC'ing is less frequent (certainly if Savage from a RNG is involved!!) and stat vomit in the other slots lessens that gap in damage created with Ternion.
