KC RNG Build

[Demonlord]

So I recently picked up a KC and I'm trying to get a good tp gain build for the club and I'm trying to squeeze in some more accuracy at this point. If my math is right my current build:

FFXIGEAR.com

on greater birds would parse out to something around 80% acc with madrigal 2 and no food. I have no club merits currently but I feel that I will most likely end up adding in 8 merits for it. So the question here really is: What are other KC rangers using as a tp set and what could be considered a good balance of accuracy/haste?

Right now the biggest upgrade you can make is Cuchulain's Mantle.

Hollow Earring is highest Accuracy you can get for that slot so may be worth looking into unless you really need ethereal for one of your other jobs.

Other than that, Speed belt, HQ dusk hands and feet, Toreadors/Sniper's +1, Ancient Torque.

I assume you made a mistake and thats actually supposed to be Wyvern Targe instead of Mercenry's.

[Demonlord]

It wasn't a mistake, mostly because finding one on the AH is impossible. I know for sure I want the obvious HQ upgrades of things, but what I'm really curious about is if 80% acc and 24% haste is a good number for a KC build. Should I be aiming for higher acc and less haste?

[BerenTebogo]

This seems so obvious that maybe I'm getting wooshed...

If you're /DRG for Wyvern Earring wouldn't Wyvern Targe (haste +2% afaik) be way better because it'd allow you to free up some more room for ACC?

If you're already reaching 80% accuracy without Club merits or Cuch Mantle then you will be around 90% with them which is respectable for any 1 handed wielder.

At 80% accuracy and assuming march + Haste you are far better off stacking haste. I don't have time to do the maths now to compare 1% haste to 1% accuracy right now but to give you a rough idea:

At 80% accuracy (assuming 2acc = +1% total hits landed) 2 accuracy will provide an increase of 1.25% in total damage.
1% haste added to 50% haste (23% gear + march + haste spell) is going to increase damage by 2%.

You will need atleast 4 accuracy to outweigh 1% haste at those values, if you have a second march then it will take more accuracy.

Keep stacking haste where you can and acc where you can't because no accuracy gear availible will be able to replace the haste pieces in your current build.

That's basically exactly what I was looking for as an answer. I appreciate the assistance.

is this worth doing with ridill? mainly looking at 70-75 (not imps) for a cheaper way that wont affect my dmg output too much

I think Culv/Cannon (or Annihilator/Silver ideally, so you could eat sushi at birds and never take hate) would be a better choice for a KC RNG, but if you already have E.Bow and Arch merits, then have at it.

FFXIGEAR.com

Obviously some hard to get things, though if you already have Skadi body and KC, you probably have the means to get VBelt and H.Kote. If PW/AV ever start getting killed regularly, then:

[Demonlord]

Ideally I'll have the speed belt within a few weeks. However, that's being really REALLY optimistic. The H.Kote look like a good idea. I had planned on getting back into ZNM for some extra cash flow selling drops and picking up some H.haidate. I appreciate the input.

[Killkenny]

Unless you are capping your gear haste (26% due to how its calculated) then NQ dusk should still be better than Hachiryu kotes in a Haste/March situation.

[Jakson]

Yeah, I think it's only like 87% (if you eat pizza+1) acc. for the haste to pull ahead. Sushi would put you at cap and then some.

Diabolos's earring. Could look into denali/skadi feet and enkidu mittens.

How's about http://ffxigear.com/?ref=510 vs swapping denali out with dusk feet +1 and enkidu swapped with nq dusk?

Edit: on colibri, /w and w/o haste/march

I started this topic awhile back, not sure if it will help
