I'm torn between this being a troll post, and this dude actually wanting people to be PLD/RNG based on the amount of time spent making this post...

Took me a lot longer than I expected to read through this... Had to stop several times to wipe the tears from my eyes.
Thank you for making my evening.

At first I took it serious, but then I saw Kustawi instead of Thibron and I immediately knew it's an obvious trolling.

The very first sentence says "I don't have pld leveled". Should have known it was a troll from that alone.

My comment was facts (Thibron would be better) mixed with obvious joke (I wasn't for a moment thinking it's serious). Same as this whole thread.
Unless I haven't caught you joking too and you are not being serious about not understanding my comment :)

I think Thibron is more of an Ullr PLD/NIN weapon. In practical contexts, you’re better off with PLD/RNG style. TP bonus looks nice in a vacuum but I think PLD/RNG really lives and dies by the accuracy of its ranged attacks.
Thank you, Butmunch! It’s already meta for Corse ambuscade. In addition to +50% EA damage, you have Fealty, a slew of anti-undead traits and JAs, and Banish.

On a semi-amusing note, PLD is on Bastok Volte, giving them decent racc and STP.
ItemSet 383668

Thanks for posting your set! I had completely overlooked that PLD is on the Reiki Yotai, and I'd failed to mention the Telos Earring. That looks like a fantastic set for the Ullr PLD/NIN style. I'd still suggest keeping a Paqichikaji Ring or augmented Cacoethic Ring +1 handy as an accuracy swap, however, since you get less Archery skill from sub /NIN compared to /RNG, and also lose the accuracy bonus traits and Sharpshot JA. I think the negative Enmity is good to have as well in case you get a little too frisky with the ranged attacks.
Edit: Updated OP and took the liberty of including this set.

THIS is the kind of content I wanted to see. Thank you.
I'll be sure to shout for this for ambuscade. It's probably the best possible option.

I used to be a PLD like you but then I took an arrow to the knee... and ever since then I've made it my mission to give the arrow back.
" I AM THE BONE OF MY BONE ARROW.
DARKSTEEL IS MY BODY AND HOLY IS MY BLOOD.
I HAVE CREATED OVER A THOUSAND ARROWS.
UNKNOWN TO MONSTER.
NOR KNOWN TO RANGER.
HAVE WITHSTOOD PAIN TO CREATE MANY MUNITIONS
YET THOSE KNEES WILL NEVER HOLD ANYTHING.
SO AS I PRAY. . .

I laughed very hard, but this was insightful. Definitely helping me to make the most of my Ullr.

This was a timely bump, and I am not at all ashamed to say that this glorious guide is one of the first things I thought of this past week when the Cloud of Darkness high tier and Null gear released.
NEW SHOOTING GEAR, PEW-PEWLADINS!
Null Loop (Neck): Racc+50
Null Shawl (Back): Racc+50/STP+7, absolute no-brainer
Null Belt (Waist): Racc+30
Shawl is a definite addition to your midshot sets. Loop's Racc is very strong, highly likely worthwhile (but maybe you're a badass and cap Racc every time you walk into a fight). Belt is a little less of a Racc increase (Racc+20 and STP-4 versus Reiki), probably making it into my midshot set.

Great guide, Adapted this to RDM.
With Distract III the lower skill is a non issue.
Empy Arrow -> Savage Blade-> CDC will also let you double light.
For you PLDs
MB your strongest Banish for shits and giggles.
