Jishnu's Radiance Build

oh nvm u meant for Critical + (not sure if i have tonberry hate tho)

Cuauh. Hdpce. +1, Kacura Leggings +1, and Aluh Jambiya can all be bought as well. That first set is trash

is Oneiros Knife worth getting ? or Kidney Dagger ?

and Will work on :

Cuauh. Hdpce. +1, Kacura Leggings +1, and Aluh Jambiya

just wasn't sure which direction to go to ^^ thanks Decimus

Oneiros is probably better in Abyssea when your crit rate is crazy, but I think most (myself included) stick with Aluh for everything else.

I did change the post above to mention those things can be bought. Nyzul gear is better, but you can do pretty well with that stuff and it's obviously more attainable.

i am yet to do neo-nyzul :X

ive read thru the majority of this, just few general consensus questions:

abyssea atmas? --
vw atmacites? --

also, unless im seriously missing something how is aluh better than an aug yataghan with +6chd?

I've been wondering about Aluh as well, I've seen a lot of RNG with those running around. Now I understand that the +10STR is a nice addition to the crit damage, but would 10STR be better than +2-3% crit damage from aug Yata?

I got 2 Crit+6% Dagger

ATMA : GH / RR / SA

Atmacite : Incursion (lv.15) Latitude (lv.11)

DMG outside abyssea: 3~4 K constant
inside 3~8 K
VW: Due to uncap skill 2~3 K

Hope this helps

wondering about Getting JUPITER STAFF (Crit+15% DEX+5)

lol..

Aluh is going to be better almost always on RNG. Ranged crits on WS are weak in comparison to melee ones, and you'll most likely not be fSTR capped on anything worth bringing a RNG to.

Ah ok, that's a good point, I remember reading somewhere that the Dead Aim update didn't apply to ranged WS, totally forgot about that. Thinking about it with that in mind, I can see how Aluh would pull ahead, thanks for the input.

OMG for once Austar got a PRODUCTIVE comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

/amazed................

Ty Austar, i guess I should work toward 1 of those too......

your internet access needs to be restricted.

LOL..coming from the person who completely lacks the ability to read over why A. you shouldnt be using a staff on rng B. why IF you are using a staff it should be vulcans. You should probably learn a little more about the game mechanics before you come off with a comment like that.

As I told you on my mule last week, Jupiter Staff has NO effect on Jishnus Radiance, outside of the DEX+5. Crit rate+ on your main or off hand/grip do not effect ranged attacks or WS, but crit damage+ does.

Inside abyssea, Atma of Sanguine Scythe will beat Stout Arm, due to 30% crit damage being better with near capped rate then STR+ and R.Atk+. Your low damage on abyssea mobs isn't from the combo of RR/GH/SS not performing, but from you missing one of your arrows, maybe more.

I assume since you said you had 2x yatas with +6% damage means you are going /NIN. Again, I told you that would gimp your damage vs /war, as berserk, attack bonus trait, an fencer (using a single one handed weapon) would greatly increase your damage. /war will win in most situations.

Finally was able to LURE you out XD

yeah that is correct /NIN for dual wield but, i did try /WAR and /SAM

it did increase WS DMG by a lot :D

Just wanted to Thank you Properly for the help you have given me on ur Mule ^^/

Thank you !

/Shameless bump with a Video.

First time playing RNG in a while, and even longer since I used my Gandiva!

The level 90 bow did surprisingly well tonight, much better than I remember it being. Over 12 Qilins I was averaging 4247.44 damage with JR and spikes up to 5.8k!

Ranger is, and probably always will be my favorite job from FFXI, and I truly hope that it makes a comeback in future updates. Until then I'm gonna be on other jobs most likely. Unless I start feeling a little trigger happy that is. >:D

lol, was trying to catch some of your WS/Barrage numbers- damn dude next time you do that get some chat filters!

Was parsing haha.

We all would benefit if kuro had restricted internet or if he stuck with his gimp nin

Has any of the newer gear that's been found made its way into anyone's JR builds? Been a few months since "Best Set" was last looked into, and wonder if any of it's slots have been swapped around.

Maybe Thall Mantle if the accuracy is more desirable than the extra 6 ratk from Terebellum Mantle, but I didn't see anything else that even comes close.

My JR setup, any suggestions to changes?

Osode + Haidate both have +3 Crit Dmg.

This is my TP set so far. Needing help since I'm confused a tad on what I should be aiming for, Ratt or highest STP available.

Basically, these sets still stand true. With my 99 Gandiva, i find myself using a build based more off of STR/Ranged attack than crit hit rate/crit hit dmg(Outside abys). If you have questions about the standing of specific pieces(since im assuming you dont have access to thaumas atm) you could post what you have available to choose from.

About your TP set, you shouldnt simply aim for the max amount of sTP you can have because it wastes a lot of room that could be used for extra STR/Ranged attack/Ranged Accuracy. You should aim for an x-hit build with your TP set & get rid of all the extra sTP. Replace those slots with stats to buff the power of your attacks.

If you can find one, Khepri Jacket with WSD+5% slightly edges Tessera.
Oneiros Knife and Aluh Jambiya are basically even in the long run, Aluh wins when you have to normal shot more; Oneiros when you have high crit rate (Abyssea/VW/Champion's Drink)
Moonshade Earring with Ratk+4 TPBonus+25 is (iMO) better than 1 Vulcan's.

Budget/Slightly-more-common-drop replacements:
Head - Aias Bonnet or Cuauhtli headpiece +1
Earrings - Pixie/NQ Vulcan's + Moonshade (Ratk+4 TPBonus+25)
Body - Athos's/Loki's or Toci's
Hands - Athos's Gloves or Mustela Gloves
Rings - Vulcan's Ring (or Spiral if you're VERY budget) + Rajas
Feet - Scout's Socks +2 or Athos's Boots

Neck/Belt/Back/Legs should always be Light/Light/Terebellum/Byakko's
If SE ever adds Dead Aim effect to WS's, Crit builds will be more viable, but for now stick to STR/Ratk builds.

For tp sets from what I've pulled together

Pre-shot

Shot

Someone told me I should full-time Sylvan Caban +2 because of the bonus to Velocity Shot, but I believe he was an Annihilator RNG. I'm supposing this doesn't apply to Gandiva? If not, would Athos's Tabard/Athos's Boots outperform Loki's Kaftan/Kacura Leggings +1? (I don't have Khepri/Tessera/Toci's yet.)

Here's what I'm working with otherwise:

(Note: Byakko's Haidate have +4% crit. hit dmg)

LOL you didn't even shoot for more than once

Agi is a mod for the gun ws's they would be using so Sylvan Caban +2 is pretty awesome in that case (combined with the str it provides), but for Jishnu's just stick with Athos's Tabard and Kacura Leggings +1 until you get some Thaumas.

Quick question, I have a Bellona's Ring, a Rajas Ring, and a Thundersoul Ring. Of those 3 which 2 should I be using for my ws set?
