I Have 90 Gandiva, Should I Make Anni?

I'm guessing you've never done legion because PDT is the least of your worries, and I fail to see how RNG loses less than any other PDT job when any other job can simply melee with PDT gear on. If you've ever played RNG correctly, you will be constantly swapping between preshot and postshot gear such that there's very little time to wear full PDT gear. I have a macro to equip it when needed, but again, chances are you're going to get hit as soon as the shot fires. (Same goes for MDT). Basically, if you're using spellcast correctly when you play RNG, you CANNOT shoot the mob at all while wearing PDT gear. If you do attempt to shoot, spellcast will swap your gear to your preshot gear and you will lose all PDT. At least other melee jobs can continue to hit the mob, RNG cannot.

It should also be noted that an annihilator RNG will be /war and using berserk when it's up, which is something no other DD should be doing inside legion (if they wish to survive). My point in my post was that if I am /war, using berserk, and spamming last stand, I will die. Your interpretation of "you shouldn't complain about RNG max hp" is almost irrelevant to what I was trying to say. If you think a RNG can get away with spamming last stand, or JR, in legion then be my guest.

Armageddon will outdamage annihilator in situations where your ranged attack is capped, something people continually fail to realize. It's also easier to upgrade armageddon to 99 than annihilator imo, which gives you 5 base damage improvement over the 95 annihilator. The +20 AGI is also very nice for last stand.

I have Rag and Apoc. Saying Apoc just gives healing is just dumb. Its a 167 damage weapon thats easy to 5hit and gives you crazy gear swap potential. Apoc allows you to stack any stat you need and still keep gear haste capped. Rag is a better damage weapon (in the right hands) but Apoc isn't far behind at all and yes the healing can be used to be very very agressive. Worst case I use it to fill my HP to 100% during SE zergs. Best case I'm by myself soloing a NM in neo nyzul.

I would tell any DRK to get Apoc first, its a game changer vs a DD weapon.

As for the thread get Anni esp if you can 99 it.

Not for RNG, but I have rules to not swap me out for certain things if I'm starting in PDT gear.

Because you don't lose your haste equivalent by swapping to PDT.

Sounds like you're the one not using Spellcast properly.

Please tell me this is a joke.

It doesn't matter anyway, no DD should be doing anything in Legion because there's virtually no justifiable reason to even pay the entry fee.

/nin is the best, apparently.

Thank you for reiterating that Apocalypse is a lesser weapon than Ragnarok unless you're in an imaginary situation where DD are required to heal themselves.

whms are hard to find, yo.

What imaginary game do you play that everyone always has a pocket WHM following them around?

Apocolypse is an excellent weapon and has some utility.

What game are you playing where it's reasonable to spend 100+mil on a weapon for the sole purpose of running around soloing old content?

Do you trust every white mage in every pick up group you've ever started/joined? Do you trust every group's ability to trigger NMs?

The fact is not every person that plays is top notch, or always on top of their game. Personally I feel Catastrophe and it's aftermath are pretty nifty. And in the right hands this weapon does not fall that far behind Ragnarok and resolution spam.

Some people feel that the utility and solid output Apocolypse gives them is in fact, worth 100 mil.

Your personal feelings are irrelevant. You can play aggressively with or without Apocalypse.

When did I say you couldn't play aggressive? You are pretty good at taking things out of context.

I won't dignify this beaten-to-death *** with people who coincidentally seem to be the only ones that need "pocket WHM" following them around, or whatever trendy and meaningless buzzword getting thrown around.

If you want to maximize your damage output, which is, ya' know, DRK's role for anything, make a Ragnarok. If you want to do less damage while pretending you're your own healer, make an Apocalypse.

Who's pretending? That ***gives you back HP.

If you wanted utility you should have levelled BLU.

But what if you're on DRK?

Having the ability to heal one's self through a fairly noticeable cut to damage output does not mean you are your own healer.

Play with better mages.
