Increase Ranger Damage Output With Bow.

Also need to know gun has an added hidden Racc bonus making it possible to switch out some of those Racc equips for Str/Ratt equips.

Also another missing piece is the type food you eat.
Sole Sushi gives you added STR and range accuracy. Squid gives you added AGI and range accuracy. I usually intake sole sushi for good dmg, and not miss so much.

But you can go fancy and go with Dragon Soup that gives you a huge amount of STR and Range ATTACK% but you will miss quite often so instead of stacking STR range attack you'll want to stack on range accuracy gears, and hopes for Prelude. But I gaurantee your weapon skill if you hit will get you killed lol..

This is rediculous. I am rng/nin only and i am still workin on final merits and still have a few pieces of gear to pick up. That being said i pull hate as Rng/Nin on pretty much every mob i fight, be it merit birds to high defense/phys immune. If i was to go anything other then /nin it would be /sam so i could try for atleast one more WS before i die.

The only time /war works is if your to gimp to pull hate as /nin and need that extra power.

I know your title read "with bow" But theres only so far a Bow can take you unless you get Relic Bow. Honestly get yourself a hellfire+1, some silver bullets and watch that damage jump to the next level. Also need to know gun has an added hidden Racc bonus making it possible to switch out some of those Racc equips for Str/Ratt equips. And/or depending on setup makes eating meat a great food option to Racc food.

Nedit: I should be fair and say /war does work great if you are killing fast enough that it has doughnuts before you do.
If you have never tried out a Gun then i strongly suggest doing so.

lol..... NOT MERIT PT
he was talking about dynamis and actually being able to do damage?

Pot-Au-Feu is a dish i get commisioned to cook quite a bit from rangers. its a good balance of RACC and RATT like pizza for ranged attacks

Also if you can't pull hate with just ranged attacks no melee or ws... um well not sure what to say. I always did even with thfs in pt good tanks and -emnity merits.

I love /sam for meditate and its more balanced.. for a zerg /war is definately much better.

/nin would be good only with a kraken club

Yeah...it's always seemed damn easy for RNG's I've partied with to take hate.

The mark of a good RNG (in my opinion) is the one that DOESN'T, or at least, the one that doesn't *** and cry and complain when they do after they drop 3k+ in WS damage in like 5 seconds...yeah ok, blame the NIN for that ***LOL

What about merc kris.... with the rngs decent dag skill compared to the lol club skill might be faster tp.

Just get more acc!
and...why /nin for kclub? are you going to be dualing Kclub with Blau or some crazy ***?

This is a statement of pure fact.

Buy this bow -->> http://www.ffxiah.com/item.php?id=17205

Do this --->>>>>> http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Ellylldan

With your body piece and merits in snapshot, you should be ok.

doing that would make him weaker thden using Valis ebow has +23 Ranged attack the bow would need to give you +15 STR to make up for the ranged attack and STR from Valis bow
