Well it's going to depend on what mob you're fighting, buffs, what event (VW, abyssea, something else), etc. There are plenty of situations where wildfire will outperform a physical ranged weapon skill. As of right now, with the introduction of Last Stand, you are better off using armageddon over gandiva anyway though.

Kaggen is pretty normal mob. I can spike up to 2.4k with CDC first time I tried BLU/WAR on VW. You should score better than that.

Yeah my CDCs have always done well on Kaggen, pil, akvan.
Have hit mid 4ks before. Never had the probs with CDC that I am having with JR.

With regards to Armageddon and Last stand; Using last stand isn't an option for me at the moment. Almost finished with bravura and have upheaval at 5/5, entropy @5/5 and shoha @ 5/5..

I have a WoE gun to stage 99 almost done anyways, don't think I'll ever do Armageddon even though its pretty damn easy to get.

I prefer more consistency. Obv ele gorget wins if your talking dmg due to the fact that Nefarious collar doesn't provide any extra dmg, it just makes the WS have a better chance at criting which I figured would help you over time. Would ele gorget be more consistent than you having a better chance at criting JR ?

people are using different definitions of consistently in their heads.. Generic believes that consistency = high crit rate. But most would argue that light gorget adds more consistent damage than nefarious because it is boosting your damage regardless if jish crits or not.

Nefarious collar is half as good as ele gorget, considering your base crit for 100TP is probably sitting at 54%.

BTW, I got this wierd anomally 2 days ago on Qilin

My other damage is all smooth from 3k~4.5k, then jumps to 5014.

Haha I was thinking the same thing.. I tend to average 2.2~2.5 on Qilin... was like wow what am I doing wrong :(. Quick question though, do you two use WoE or Gandiva. Someone was telling me the other day that 99 WoE blows 90 Gandiva out of the water on WS dmg and that would make me sad in the pants if true :(

Blows out of the water? *** no. 5-6 base damage (counting the 15 DEX) on a weapon where you should be around what, 250 base D including WSC? Sure. That would be a 2.5% increase max though.

When people say "blows out of the water/Blows away" they mean by 1~2% seriously <_<

Well makes me feel a bit better but still sad :(. I was looking at stats for STR path magian bow/gun and wouldn't be surprised if those end up better for Voidwatch than gandiva with 5/5 of the respective meritable WS

Last Stand already seems on par with JR. I got some really nice numbers with Moro's Crossbow/ Adaman Bolts. Gun/Adaman Bullets should spike a bit higher.

Harrier +2, should be very close to Gandiva85 in term of JR base damage.

I remember I scored around 2.1~2.2k too without minuets/chaos and YCB instead of RCB. I guess we are just that hungry with ratk. Practically, almost no amount of buffs will make us cap ratk.

Highest I saw from 95 Annihilator is 5.1k Last Stand on Qilin, but that was with 2x Minuet and no Chaos.
So yeah, I'm actually surprised to see my Harrier +2 can pull that close... or even slightly better than my Moros' Crossow Last Stand because I saw 4k more often with Jishnu's somehow.

How can you play ranger and not know how much STR affects ranged attacks...? It's like the single most important stat to ranger.

Assuming that your fSTR2 is not capped, STR averages out to about a 60% modifier on any ranged weapon skill. Thus, STR is actually just as effective as DEX in increasing jishnu's damage (however DEX also increase crit rate obviously).

Anyway, should be using a gun:



I also noticed this lately... i'm seeing full dex gandivas and no str on or almost none at all. There's no way every rng out there is capping fSTR2 D:< This is why i choose an augmented osode (springing for crit hit but i may reconsider crit dmg) over slightly similar clones.
