I Havn't seen many rngs use these nowadays, is there a reason why? I know sylvan+2 have nice stp but with the new jump recasts coming any stable x-hit build might go out the window. Also only time I get on rng is for VW and I get a cor anyways.
gandiva rng btw

Blood fingers are a poor option for fulltime tp hands nowadays. +2 hands win for sheer dmg, and lose very little acc, seiryu's win for acc.
BFGs are great when augmented though as a preshot piece (up to 4% snapshot). Theyre good for gun setup(enmity -; snapshot and marksmanship skill +) but af3 +2 hands win for archery.
High jump sheds 30% hate /drg
I assume you mean sylvan +2, and how at 99 with capped str/archery merits does 7 skill and 10 str beat 11 r. attk and 4 snapshot and -enmity Even factoring out fSTR2 (very important btw), 10str = 5ratk, 7 skill = 7ratk, 12 ratk total from just the basics.
The snapshot on BFGs is good, but considering the ease of macro'ing them in to start the shot, then swapping to sylv +2, theres no excuse not to. -enmity is nice, but its easy to get -30~40 in your other tp set. what about relic+2 hands?

If the stp from sylv+2 can be found efficiently elsewhere, and you are a fan of extreme enmity down builds (also assuming you don't need the 3 extra racc for archery, moot ish for marks), then relic +2 are fine. Sheer dmg wise sylv +2 will often win through usually boosting fSTR2 up a tier. Are we talking about ranger or dragoon here?

Havn't bothered with a pre-shot set but i suppose its time to start XD.
And in that logic These would be best? edit: posted slow I used to wear them for barrage before I (took arrow to..... nvm) got AF+1 gloves but that was ages ago.
was barrage ever found to break the 8-hit rule? i finally got hunter+1 and havnt been bothered to test it yet

And in that logic These would be best? edit: posted slow They come situationally equal to sylv +2 assuming the stp on sylv isn't useful in any way - general rule, sylv +2 > all. Preshot... basically looks like this I full time the head and body anyways, so even with limited ffxi macros shouldn't be too hard to change out hands and waist for sylvan/relic+2 hands and scouts belt. Guess the 950k was worth it ^^
