OA2 / OA4 Guns

What are Rangers thoughts on these weapons? Is bullet base damage enough to offset the low base damage OA4?

How does an OA2 stack up now we're at 99 with access to a powerful WS in Last Stand?

Good way to throw money at mobs?

edit: considering bullet base damage, it might be decent. Bullet cost being the main issue (but who isn't vomiting gil nowadays).

make one or both and find out!

I feel double shot is a better option than using a 55 dmg OAT gun.

The OA2-4 would be cool to spam ws after ws but don't think you'd like the amount of bullets you'd waste as well as gil.

The OAT gun would be a good option but for bigger numbers the Fire trial is 57 dmg, +11 str, +22 r.atk so it would pull a bit ahead during Last Stand on the harder mobs.

If you're serious about making a Last Stand gun that isn't an element, relic or empy, the TP bonus is a good way to save on gil as its delay is 660 and dmg is 53.

Edit: With TP Bonus gun Moonshade earring with +25 TP Bonus and /war while single wielding you can WS @ 100 TP for the equivalent of 245 TP and since the ftp transfer to both hits you'll be looking towards some nice Last Stands.

Recycle says sup :3
5/5 recycle is the new thing to do on RNG dontcha know !?

I've always had 5/5 Recycle on RNG shhh don't tell anyone.

There are also some good Recycle+ gear out there too. If the combination brings the total recycle up to 40% I think the OA2-4 gun could be really cool to observe. I mean RNG has a nice dmg boost to crit shots so if you can macro in recycle gear during the start of the shot and switch to some other gear that would be cool to see. Tho i don't know if recycle procs at the beginning or end of the shot. Can anyone verify?

think Generic's TP set is 50% recycle?(including merits)

could be wrong though

I think there are 3 slots for + recycle gear if each caps out at 5%(probably doesn't) thats still only +15% from gear and +25% from merits.

end shot in af2+2 beret,
+25% recycle and whenever recycle procs, you get +50 stp on that hit (if 5/5 recycle).

I think he meant +50% recycle rate. But yeah if 5/5 recycle and af2+2 hat when recycle hits thats some serious tp.
