Ferris Ullr's Day Off: A Guide To Ranged PLD

People will often expect you to tank in segment farms, but for PLD/RNG, that's like putting a square peg into a round hole. Make your own party that can supply the buffs listed above in this guide. You will need a GEO with proper gearsets, because they will be supertanking on GEO/BLU. Have the support buff the GEO with minnes, mambos, gallant/ninja rolls. The GEO will be buffing themselves with Cocoon and Indi-Barrier, so while that only leaves Entrust Indi-Precision for you, their DEF will skyrocket. The GEO's tanking set should include full Nyame, DEF accessories like R15 Loricate Torque, and a Genmei Shield paired with a VIT, Eva/Meva, Enmity+ and "Blocking rate" augmented Ambuscade cape. All of this is easy to obtain. The GEO should also have an enmity set in case things go south and they need to tag mobs; this will include items like Petrov Ring, Eihwaz Ring, and Searing Sash, but as this is a PLD guide and not a GEO guide, I won't go into further detail.

Grab an Acro set from Yorcia Alluvion Skirmish and augment with Snapshot/Rapid Shot +5 (both of them, they're different stones). Add ranged attack and accuracy if you're using this for midshot too, but you should only do this if you're low on inventory space from having RDM.

At any rate, if the GEO does have to tag mobs, then once they're secured, the RDM should be ready to Manifestation Bio III to get -20% attack on the pack, then /assist you to get Dia III on your current target. (Make sure you've pulled it out of Bio III range, because Dia III won't overwrite it.)
