I thought it just has high def? I know normally melee dmg is crap but people with decent attack buffs still do great dmg

**Neisan** · 2012-04-18 22:35

Wiki says he has some form of PDT, most likely from being a custard. Tomahawk should remove it (if it's actually damage resistance).

Swap mob types every kill. It resets your xp chain but builds your cruor chain. I've gotten 600 something before though gotta keep kill speed up

Yeah Rex isn't bad for melee's, it's the best/easiest way to kill him. Proper buffs go a long way.

Kamome/Ban is probably the best non-magian/relic katana combo you can get. Low delay also means fast TP gain, which would be useful for procs.

What body pieces should I be after for VS for pup?

**nikia** · 2012-04-19 11:30

Forgive the bump,

What 3 best atmacites should MNK and NIN use.
I have Atmacite of the Valiant, Atmacite of Coercion, as well as Atmacite of Persistence.

Persistence is one i am not sure about, MNK and NIN both Relics and use DEX mod WS so would a DEX atmacite be better? I also tend to tank a lot on MNK, I was hoping for a setup that would work for either job. Thank you so much for any insight

considering taking a serious run at rng. its at 75, but i haven't really taken it seriously since the ranged attack nerf that turned all the rngs into blms.
1) should i bother if i'm on console and can't get any distance readout?
2) bow vs gun
3) anni vs arma vs yoichi
4) does anyone bother with a trueflight build or is it wildfire or go home (as far as the magic-dmg WS' go)?
5) physical dmg WS', slug shot/sidewinder pretty much obsolete? hows last stand/apex stack up againt it?
6) any other "do/get this or don't bother" points?

**Buffy** · 2012-04-19 13:50

I'm not a rng, I'm a Cor, but I think rng is great, even on a console. Yochi and jinshu are great, especially on mobs you want to stay out is aoe range on. Thinking VW specifically. If you don't have another empy/relic dd you consider your main, rng is a valid choice

**Darkmagi** · 2012-04-19 13:56

Only weapons worth considering on RNG are annihilator and armageddon, the latter for physical/piercing resistant monsters.

**Darkmagi** · 2012-04-19 14:32

For the 95 limit break quest, does the rarab tail keep the taru from moving now? I heard someone mention that in another thread but never saw any confirmation on it. Friend is needing his cap broken and curious if it would be an easy zerg now that way.

1) I played for a long time without distance plug in on windower even before they gave messages. Also to note distance wont be the same with the plugin as it gives the distance from the center of the mob I think or maybe where your arrow is on it while ranged attack cares about distance from it so you'd have to figure out sweetspots anyways with different mob sizes. And you got messages for that. I'd be more concerned with gearswap limitations playing without spellcast. You probably will have to limit yourself to not using as much store tp and definitely not swapping midshot
2) Kinda depends. But yeah the main reason you'd use rng is for the high dmg low emnity stuff. Or good magical ws. So that leaves relics and armageddon. Guns have the advantage of dealing crazy good dmg with last stand however and arma letting you fire from any range for full dmg
3) Very situational but I'd say arma though I made anni after lol. Yes you can get relic ws higher than wildfire however it does require standing in range and on harder stuff where you really care like VW needs alot of ratt plus it's alot more work to get. To give an example on most higher tier VW stuff my last stand which does alot more than relic ws does about the same as my wildfire when I'm /sam if I have drinks up and eatting ratt food. To pull ahead need drk roll and/or mins which I rarely get. Plus higher tier ammo is expensive and sometimes hard to find lol and sometimes the mobs are evasive so nice to be able to use racc food.
4) I made one awhile back but it's not really that good. Especially since vw doesnt have light attack atma
5) Yes. Merit ws crap on them even not counting the racc isssues.
6) Skill up lol. It's long and annoying but wiffing 20 ws in a row while you are trying to proc on rng sucks

Yes it terrors him now. Was in the update notes from a couple of updates ago. Was easy to zerg him down even when he ran around though lol

Just got drk up to try resolution. Anyone got some good simple - advance x-hit setup? The gs im using is hoarfrost blade.

**Rehn** · 2012-04-19 15:29

For quick draw, I know merits will lower its timer. There are also mirke along with aug. blood mask.. am I missing anything else? I like faster pew pew.

**Dathus** · 2012-04-19 15:48

Those are the only three IIRC that lower the ability delay.

As long as your DDs are top draw damage can still be decent. Pickup DDs for the most part will barely touch him.
