    Ranger AF+1?

    i got the hands and recently got the items for another upgrade. ive been so lucky as to aquire stuff for another upgrade but i just dont know which to do.

    any tips or is all this +1 crap basically obsolete? the hands are awesome for a boost for barrage. but the rest of it looks like theres better gear options.

    None of its really good Rng got jewed on Limbus bad. Head is probably = Wyvern Helm or maybe a little better. Body if you don't have Pahluwan/Osode/Jupon. Legs if you don't have relic for -enmity and sharpshot macro. We need a Rapid Shot+5% Earring or something cool out of limbus -.-

    Agreed. x.x But after the hands, I did the legs myself, just because I always took them out for my Sharpshot macro (not even sure what they do..?) and I was tired of getting out my AF. After that I just started passing the pants.

    The gloves are a real shame though. Have to have them on when you fire the Barrage, which means no CFGs/Seiryu's. :/ Likely to miss a shot before you even get to the 7th.

    I'm pretty sure they tack like 10-15 seconds onto how long sharpshot lasts but I'm in dynamis on Samurai at the moment can't test. I never bothered cause I don't have the space to unstore my AF usually.

    how do rangers have crazy accuracy problems ??

    Honestly, You have FOUR accuracy traits, FOUR. This accounts for FOURTY EIGHT accuracy. In my meat build accuracy setup I have +68 accuracy. two Merman Rings accounts for the missing accuracy, and matches up to my accuracy set on thief, both use A- weapons.


    Is ranged accuracy seriously that fucked up ??

    It used to be. Now a days I havnt done any hard testing but instead of parsing 75% Racc using Meat and +80 Racc I parse about 92%.
    Edit: Don't forget Sidewinder/Slugshot is easily the most inaccurate WS in the game.

    If you don't have af2 or dusk, theres always the 5k War Brais pants off the AH w/ their 4 agi or something.

    Pahluwan Seraweels seem ok too, 4 r. acc, 3 str.

    The Hunter's Braccae +1 seem like the best alternative to af2 though.

    your racc pieces are not only CFG/seiryu. They are one of the best pieces indeed.
    Swap back in ohat, jerkin, dusk trouser's/ all accuracy rings

    I'm debating Skadi's leg for TP usage as the first rank, if it tied together with Rajas and SBow/Obow

    I do, which is why I can still convince myself to wear the AF+1. xD I would probably say the larger point of Barrage is insta-TP, so having most/all the acc you can get on it is probably more justified than using the epeen gear. It's just a shame that you have to go without the 10r.atk, 10r.acc, that'd make Barrage a bit more fun. Can't have it all I guess!
