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

Why is that?

If sub drg becomes more "acceptable" (now that you get 7 WSD and not JUST enmity shedding) you can shed hate easier.

Means you can use a better weapon without killing everyone.

But, you give up fencer, so, I don't know what wins out.

Range of the jump is 10' no? Depending om the fight, a risk to move in close for shedding hate. When you move you cannot shoot either.

It's always situational. sub drg was already a thing, just not super common. You run in, you jump, you run back, not incredibly difficult.

Loss of DPS translates to even more enmity decay. That's kind of the point.

Updated the node to reflect changes to DRG sub.

Malignance idle sets are a thing; the risk attached to running in is far less than it was pre-Lilith.

Does Fencer or the 7WSD win though for WAR vs. DRG sub?

Any of the malignance gear worth using for midshot over the current BiS in the guide?

Id like to calculate it but how does wsd from trait works? DRG forum says wsd trait applies to all hits so it's like r15 rema that adds wsd on top of gear wsd?

Edit: found the an myself

it MIGHT allow Marksmanship RNG to shoot within the sweet spot safely courtesy of all that Magic Evasion and -DT.

Lol thanks, found the answer just as you post the link.

I believe this is probably BiS midshot when doubleshot is down.

Alright, so, has anyone done testing on what gearset to use for EES? Its a pain in the *** cuz 1hr, but from my limited (read, like, 6 uses max against lilith with variable cor buffs and debuffs), it seems RATT has gotten me more mileage than crit/crit damage. Was wondering if there was any extensive testing done on it yet, other than the obvious relic +3 legs

OK Who has actually got AGI/MAB/WSD from Oseem for Trueflight.. Just ripped through 10,000 stones and never saw that combo once.

I've got:

herc helm with AGI+2, macc+33, MAB+29

and I've gotten some good physical WS pieces such as:

herc trousers with AGI+10, racc+11, ratk+12, wsd+3

but in terms of all 4 for trueflight, yeah I haven't seen those either.

Yeah I have some 33MAB/4WSD and have seen quite a few of those combos, but never all 3 AGI/MAB/WSD

This combo is extremely rare, because AGI is not a smart reroll on magic herculean. You need to get WSD/MAB and then have enough luck to get not a smart reroll stat+ (smart reroll stats are str/mnd/int).

Its almost impossible to get agi/wsd/mab with overall better stats than much easier to get maxed WSD/mab.

The node for WAR sub says "Best overall physical ranged subjob." Have you done the math that fencer 1 > 7 wsd for Last Stand?

Edit: nevermind, clown question. Seems pretty obvious that fencer wins.

Figured I'd take a look in here and see if could find hints on agi/wsd/mab and yeah....Simon easily right on the "almost impossible" part in regards to the agi/wsd/mab. I got several pieces 30+ mab and 4 wsd or 34/35 mab and 3wsd....all of which are upper 20s macc or lower 30s......none of which have any agi on it. I couldn't even give you a ballpark guess as to where I am on amount of rolls, but sadly probably well over the 300k mark on pels. Half tempted to start ferns...but I don't have a gil sink for that. Only piece I have agi on is herc body which is 35macc 35mab and 10 agi, which oddly enough does more dmg for me than Carmine+1 body on Trueflight. Guessing rolling melee for wsd/mab/agi isn't worth it...maybe if cap was like 30 instead of 25. Think DM coming up again...doubtful I'll get lucky but fingers crossed.

In the annihilator description it says you can make light with last stand to last stand. Is that a mistype or did I miss something while I was away?

says it makes light with LS, relic WS is dark/frag, while base LS is fusion/rev, so you can self-light if needbe

last stand -> last stand only makes light if you have Aeonic aftermath up.

Coronach <-> Last stand will make light though.

Thanks guys. Back to my reading comprehension lessons!

Hi.

Till i can finish my gastra, i glowed my yoshi just to play with it

Is Namas set basically the same of coronach?

Thanks in advance

Should be pretty close. Coronach also gets some bonus by focusing a little bit on DEX, but generally STR should provide generally equal benefit.

Can't do the math from office, but iff raccisnt a problem, shouldn't we replace the regal ring by ring with STP, like Chirich+1 or any other?

Or the set you post is already a x-hit as its own ?

If racc isn't an issue at all and aiming for something like Trueflight in dynamis where over TPing isn't an issue at all...then yeah, load up like crazy on STP. I still need to go for mal body/hands but that bcnm is being a pain in the ***.

Our ranged party in wave 3 consists of:
Ranger
Ranger
Geo
SCH
Cor
Cor

We're winning just fine with that set up with 15+ mins to spare. but I wanted to know from people here. Would we see a better improvement with SMN/sch over SCH?
Crystal blessings(250tp bonus) + Shiva's favor(45mab) + Aurorastorm + Dream Shroud(lol)
vs
Aurorastorm II
Adloquium

It'd be pretty close given the CORs do not need aurorastorm. I would lean toward the SMN if cors and rngs are relatively evenly equipped and all 4 have mythic.
