Help choosing augments for a NIN/RNG!

[Ashky]

So, with these 2 jobs, what would everyone recommend I choose for my augments?


I have Haubergeon +1 and SH+1 for NIN


I have an Osode for RNG


Would RAcc +10 and Snapshot +5% be the way to go for a TP piece for RNG? Or does Osode still win that?

RAcc + 10
RAtt +10?


I am sort of at a loss for what would really be the most beneficial piece for my 2 jobs... Suggestions?

[Starr]

Racc+10
snapshot+5

[Thorny]

if you have ebow and no yoichi(and access to the rest of a 5hit setup), stp+4 snapshot+5%
otherwise, get acc+10 DW+3 for nin and use osode on rng

[Isiolia]

NIN would easily be ACC+10 and DW+3%

RNG...I'm not a RNG.

IMO, there's nothing that'd be especially great for both jobs. Pick one or the other.

[Ariane]

For my own NIN I'll be getting the ACC+10 and DW+3% as my best option. My RNG is lvl 15 though, so no input there.

[Kaiyoko]

NIN DW+3% ACC+10
RNG Rng acc+10 Snapshot+5

[Thorny]

jesus fuck does nobody know what X-hit builds are

every time someone asks about rng bodies, 3-5 mouthbreathers insist on snapshot+r.att or snapshot+r.acc

To put it simply, going from 6hit to 5hit with ebow is a ~25%(missed WS means it's 6/5 for that round instead of 5/4) increase in your # of WS, provided you don't lose any ranged hitrate. A normal setup is over 50% WS damage, so that's a hell of a lot more difference than the minor things you sacrifice for it(rajas and skadi legs are no sacrifice, 10 r.att or acc on mirke, and 10 r.att on mekki instead of vulcans).

doesnt RNG get enough Racc outside body piece? go Ratk+10 and snapshot

[finalfabio]

for nin emnity +5 and fast cast

for rng racc and ratt +10 best body for barrage

show us how much STP we need for obow and what gear to use oh master

[Rikura]

As I'm lacking Mekki, I wouldn't be able to achieve a 5-hit build yet so I'm using Snapshot +5 and R.acc +10 until then. It's an easy change if that ever happens, anyway. None of the other augment options really appeal to me (no COR, no PLD, screw SMN) anyway and this'll most likely help me out more than Osode for TP.

Even then though, for WS I'd need to retain Mirke's STP+4 (with Rajas, Mekki, /SAM sub, but you'd use those to TP with anyway) if you're switching out Skadi Chausses for Hachiryu. Not a big loss, but with that said, RNG isn't like typical melee, at least for the fights that I use RNG in. I hardly WS the second I get 100% TP on RNG (unless I'm using arching arrow but...meh) and I'm often times holding back. A 5-hit build would only entice me towards a swifter death/whooshfest, imo and seems far less appealing considering these factors. And if I was going to take hate anyway, I should've gone a different melee in the first place, so, whatever. You can only do so many sidewinders before you bite the dust ;( Before you say "gimp, WS at 100% TP"--I don't use RNG for merits (in which case, yes, I would spam at 100 TP but then again, I could just borrow a KC), only certain endgame battles which would require me to *generally* be out of range of AoE.

As any other melee, hell yes I'd take a lower-hit build as I can spam WS at 100 TP and not worry about a) whiffing or b) taking hate and dying fast cause I just don't feel as sturdy. As SAM, MNK, or WAR, I just feel sturdier.

[Thunder]

Why not just do ratk+snapshot and swap out scout's with cobra instead? You'd keep a very nice and irreplaceable body and still be trading 10ratk for 4stp. Emnity on socks, whatever.

If you want an x-hit build you could always /sam, too.. only need rajas and +5stp to make it work?

[Ashky]

I don't like the idea of the X-Hit build because I rarely shoot Sidewinder at 100% TP because even with full archery merits, it misses way too much. I of course, do not merit with RNG either. Thanks for the input though. I think Snapshot + 10RAcc may be my choice.

afk killing myself

May I ask your opinion on crit+3% and enmity-5 for a ranger body please?

[heartslaught]

Thorny, let me make this perfectly clear about the 5-hit build for rngs on ebow.

It fucking blows. The idea is stupid. You lack the fucking att and acc to even be a decent rng at that point, so fall off the face of the earth. Make us all happy.

Umm, I don't play ranger or anything, but I'm pretty decent at math, and based on the # of rangers that I see Sidewinder in STR gear at 150TP, makes me wonder what would happen if they Sidewinder in accuracy gear at 100. So what if you lose 5-10% of your WS damage if you end up WSing 20-30% more often?

And is your comment based around the TPing aspect? Are you saying giving up what, 10 attack and 10 accuracy isn't worth it?

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

You starting a club?

You starting a club?

Wow... just wow. Not trying to get a six-hit build with an E. Bow is crazy, what is the problem with that?

[Thunder]

This is standard, etc etc.
