Thread: Who is worse? DRG or RNG?     submit to reddit submit to twitter

    I don't think anyone is saying that they can't still do dmg, my point is that the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. A black mage is far better than a ranger now, theres no denying it.

    The reason a ranger was so pwnpwn before was because of rng/nin, they did insane dmg from point blank & a distance equally, and when they drew hate, they just ended up tanking until the actual tank got hate back. RNG/WAR loses that ability in order to hit the old dmg, so its just not as effective as before. It still works, but theres other more viable options.

    Fix'ed. :D

    when i first picked the ranger job i was being told that they weren't wanted in parties (nobody in beta had slugshot lol) and that they missed too much (lol) and that they were too expensive and it wasn't worth it.

    I didn't care. I had always loved playing an archer type class. Honestly I didn't even realize how good the ranger job was until I was nearing 55 and started hearing things about slugshot. RNG hit 75 a year ago(took some breaks along the way to take thief to 61 and warrior to 63 >_>) and then I just continued on with my warrior, taking it to 75. Then a while later the ranger nerf hits. I didn't really mind the damage reduction, as it let me actually sub warrior again, but the sweet spot range was hella gay, and just got old too fast(considering all i fight are mobs where it is impossible to stay in the sweet spot). making something overly complicated when all you had to do was adjust the damage formulas is retarded.

    I used to love playing ranger, but now its a pain in the ass, and I'd rather play warrior instead.

    p.s. before anyone brings up the stupid ass ranger argument, i'd liek to point out that in FF5 the job was Hunter, and the japanese word for the ranger job translates into hunter. :\

    But don't you see how that is slightly unbalanced? If a BLM goes balls out and takes hate, he/she will die because BLMs and RNGs are supposed to be glass cannons. Before the ranged nerf Rangers were neigh-invincible damage gods- they can still put out huge damage, but if they get hate they will be shredded. (Just like BLMs...)

    Only 2 less int. But Kirin does some WS that go through shadows. ;x

  9. #109

    and I believe those WS are elemental-based, so blm would take minimal damage.

    P.S. I haven't watched blms when they have hate from Kirin recently, so I'm not sure this is true. Just could be since they seem to have WS Immunity on Aura Statues.

    Maybe they had stoneskin up? BLM dont have any resistance trait of any sort at all (just mag attack bonus, conserve mp and clear mind).

    Are you sure you weren't seeing BLM/WHM?

  12. #112

    I like both of my 'gimp' jobs ty very much. >.>


    I dunno which is better, lol. -.- I used to be a pro-rng even after the nerf but I got slowly turned off by how you're not able to do anything at higher HNM anymore. ffs, my LS asked me to go on drg for the most part (while I was still leveling samurai) to HNM loool. <.<

    Fair enough, Magic Defense Bonus comes from RDM and WHM subs.
