Was planning on leveling rng here coming up and am curious as to which bow would be best to get (besides gandiva). Any help/info is appreciated.

- Was wondering a lot about the occ double dmg bow vs. the str and racc bow.


Thanks ^

Harrier +2

Not sure about the other server, but on Asura some people still do #7 for quick coins. And Coin of Decay, IMO, is the most common coin drops.

Question though how does Jishnu's perform in VW with Harrier+2 i've heard mixed reviews regarding about the WS itself in VW.

Sorta my question on this as well. Thats why I was considering doing another path and just ignoring jishnu's all together.

Honestly, I'm not a ranger, but speaking from VW experience. I see Gandiva rngs switch off between Jishnu's and Apex. So that would mean Apex is still a very viable WS in VW situations. Perhaps the WS dmg+10% bow? /shrug idk.

Apex(fTP=3.2 practically) need to ignore about 33% defense in order to beat Jishnu's 3-hit(fTP=5.85 practically), without counting crit. Add Champion's drink crit+, add Gnostic's drink enmity-, I don't see how scoring high with crit'ing in and enmity would be problems in VWNM.

Aife's bow
If you can put your effort solo making STR bow, I suggest you do a couple WoE on flux #7 to get a much better bow.

Gandiva is as "easy" as other empyrean. But you need a couple people to support you or have to go NIN/WAR with WHM 2boxing (which I found annoying, really).

Its not that, I know gandiva is "easy" I've helped do the path a couple times. I just know for a fact I wont be getting it beyond 85 and am thinking about other more viable options.

If you want to be a ranger, atleast get a gandiva lol....and yes you can get it past 85.... VW produces alot of cruor, cruor = brew.

Isn't Harrier nice due to it being easier to get a 4hit with over Gandiva?

I would assume gandiva wins out easy...aftermath is a powerful thing.

So much talk about Gandiva when he isnt even wanting to know about Gandiva lolz. I am planning on making either the AGL or STR Terathopus but I am at cross between wanting agl+11 rngacc+22 or having str+11 rngatk+22. Though having agl+11 rngacc+22 would most likely be the best path since it never hurts to be able to hit the target every time.

Outside of "Empy or bust" stuff, STR+11/Ranged Atk. +22 bow or AGI+11/Ranged Acc. +22 bow work. You could make a Store TP bow for an x-hit build.
