I'm rarely RNG, so I don't get to test things out much, but here's what I'm presently using for Jishnu... Anything glaring that should be tweaked?
Thanks

It's a mix of the 2 sets I usually propose. Usually people go all str/ratk or all dex/crit but no real critique outside of hands but I don't expect people to have myrmex.

Myrmex Mittens don't exist... Logs do. Wanion Belt does too... Myrmex? Nope.
I do have Athos gloves I could pop in there for a STR/DEX/AGI combo, but wasn't sure if the STR/skill would be better overall on the AF3.
When I'm on RNG I usually tend to lean towards Wildfire as the dmg is extremely consistent, and that WS rarely causes me to get my *** kicked.

I'm sure I could download a spreadsheet and tell you for sure, but you're probably safe with AF3+2 on not light/firesday (Athos's alignment days).

what can and should i change in my tp set? i am currently doing NNI but its going a bit slow, what can and should be changed for obvious improvements?
this is my tp set, now i know you can put in a snapshot > tp set but i dont know how you actually do it in macro, can anyone explain how it works like
/ra <t>
/equip "ranged attack set" <wait 4>
/equip "snapshot set"
for my ws set
the legs have 2% crit atm, now i only used RNG inside abyssea until recently and on things like qilin i get very weak JR's like 700-2.5k and iv seen some other people wrecking qilin with gandiva like 3-5k, what can i do to improve my set? i also use valiant and courcen (forget how to spell it but its kaggens atmacite)

This stuff is all from page 21 - you should have your snapshot equipped first and then ratk/stp
If you read the last 2 1/2 pages you should find options for non-NNI ws gear
For tp sets from what I've pulled together

thanks, although it is slow id like to have nni gear included, will help me prioritize which pieces are most important :) but thank you very much, can i ask though, why is that head better than emp +2 head? id have thought 13 att would beat 7 str

Scout's wins because the augment that gives you tp when recycle procs. I would lean toward the STR build.
Coercion, Incursion, Valiant
This set if you agree with Austar
Or this set if you obsess over crit rate
But no matter what, don't use a staff.

Recently read the Agi= ranged crit rate thread, and it made me take another look at my JR set. If i understand this correctly, DEX is now(always was) only being used as a WS mod, since it doesn't do anything for our crit rate.
I was also curious if any testing has been done to see if the crit rate+ gear affects ranged attacks the same way it affects melee attacks, namely rancorous mantle/collar and kacura leggings since those would be the most relevant to JR.
Also has any testing been done to test a more str/agi based set?
All of this i think favors Auster's set even more. Right now i use a combo str/dex/crit rate set up, but will prob move to a more str based set.

I was also curious if any testing has been done to see if the crit rate+ gear affects ranged attacks the same way it affects melee attacks Melee crits are cRatio +1, ranged are cRatio*1.25. Jishnu's crits also don't get dead aim applied to them, so they're not very good. Still use Gorget, Terebellum, and Thaumas nails.

I read that about the cRatio with crits somewhere. I was thinking that since rngs crit rate is based on an agi formula it might not receive the full +5% from rancorous mantle/collar. Of course as i typed this i realized that it prob affected a base crit rate before the dex/agi formulas kick in, but curious nonetheless.

Was just wondering if an oneiros knife would be worth getting instead of aluh jambiya?

I was just wondering why the Aluh Jambiya would be better. Does the 10 str and 15 ATT beat out the extra 7% crit Dmg increase?

Aluh wins anywhere you can't enhance your crit rate because its STR+10 will up the damage on your non-crit hits. Oneiros wins in places like abyssea and voidwatch where you can use atma/champions to bring your crit rate up. This counts for both Jishnu's and your white damage.

So has there yet to be a GENERAL consensus on what the best course is for Jishnu's at this point in the game? After everything I've read I think I'm understanding it to be
STR >> DEX >> R.ATT >> Crit. Hit Rate >> Crit. Hit Dmg
Please if I've misunderstood to ANY degree, correct me.
...and I'm referring to using RNG in EG content... i.e. VoidWatch, Legion, Odin II, Omega/Ultima II
This is my current set, because this is what I have available to me at the time.
(Currently Byakko's are only VIT+4 Store TP+2 but I'm working on it.)
This is what I'm working towards based on the understand I HAD of a proper Jishnu's build.
(Moonshade will be R.Atk+4 TP Bonus+25)

Athos Gloves on corresponding days.
Myrmex Mittens/Mustela Gloves could replace Sylvan +2 hands.
Thaumas feet could replace +2 feet.
Kudzu Aketon could replace Tessera if you don't have it.

Im not sure if you're saying the set posted are better options than the items that "could replace" them. Thaumas feet will beat out af2+2, 11 dex vs 5str & 1 ranged attack. Myrmex beat af3+3 hands, Im pretty sure even athos hands beat out sylvan.

No, meant 'could replace' as in if you have opposed to the item-set shown. I use that set but with Mustela Gloves/Thaumas feet, since I don't have Myrmex, with good results.

My bad about that. As for Alpha's post, your formula(?) was pretty spot on. I carry 2 weapon skill sets for JR, 1 being STR/Ranged attack build that I use a vast majority of the time & 1 Crit hit rate/dmg set for Abys/lower level vwnm's. I say gear set, but honestly the differences between the sets is small. Thats because there are a few pieces that when using JR shouldnt be changed. Light belt/gorget, Rajas, Terebellum(Dont use Rancorous), Byakko's should just about always be on for JR.

Bumping this thread in anticipation for the new Empyrean WS unlocks forthcoming. I've never made a Jishnu's Radiance set before as I have never needed one. Is this about right for optimal? I'm sure I more than likely missed something and welcome any/all opinions.

Crit Rate+ on Hands Dead aim does not proc on weaponskills so due to the nature of ranged crits, most do not gear for crit specific, also JR has a huge fTP value so belt/gorget work wonders.

Large FTP values decrease the importance of gorget/belts. JR is 1.75+2. (Unless the fTP transfers to all hits???)
It also has a shitty Modifier for RA. So its gear for crit rate/damage or gear for STR/att.

Good to know! I have JR but have used it all of 3 times lol.
I just finished up my trials for Jishnu's Radiance yesterday, and I don't really know what type of set up I should be aiming for to maximize damage output.. DEX, STR, R.Att, Crit rate inside abyssea.
This is what I've been using:
I was pulling off 2,000~8,000 WSs all night with Red Curry buns, RR, VV, Sea Daughter.
What do you guys think would be some upgrades to my set, or a total new set to use if I'm doin' it wrong.
