RNG~THF Mirke Users

I'm curious if Rapid Shot overlaps with Snapshot or not. Anyone know?

i havent done kings in awhile but when does a person take rng to kings, very rarely did i ever see a rng at faf/nid, KB, or turtle

This could be the next big debate, just like the good ole days of hauby Vs hauberk Vs byrnie lol fast forward to 2009 mirke Vs osode

Overlap as in stacks? Then yes.

Rapid shot would still be worth capping even if you have stacked high snapshot with Zha Dha Barbut, Jalzhan's Ring, Mirke and capped Snapshot merits, right?

No doubt :)

No offense, I agree with you and everything, but coming from someone geared like yourself (and /war in xp lolz) it kinda makes one scratch their head.

It's not that I dont care about Racc/Ratk.
I've just not been able to merit fully yet.
Nor do I have all the gear to really WANT to play with Snapshot more often.
So until that time, until everything's just about ready through Racc and I'm hitting decently w/o misswinder, I'm pretty much going back to basics :<

My Kitty is gonna be placed back in Vana'diel very soon.
Just have plans at the moment before I bring her back.
So yea, expect to see her as another RNG also.
Maybe finish DRK70 to 75 and work on that while working on Elk in the mean time

I like the DW+ 10 acc beats homam body. Just about anything that increase your attack speed or number of attacks will beat homam body. To all you crazy I need the 10 acc over rapparee harness to hit consistently in your tp set... how in the world do you do you get dancing edge to land then? That being said 10acc/att beats any other ws peice cept skadi and and maybe atares 5 more str and 2 more acc but 3 less dex/agi... itd be close if you satawsing but id guess unless you sataSB or manstab ACP gonna win. This easily beats dragon and silly hecatomb/enkidus unless you got relic then the str will matter alot more. I've noticed significant increase in my ws dmg especially solo non SA or TA ones. But really you can't make this a good peice for ranger and thief. And the awesomeness you can do for rng completely outweights thf...

1)Wtf does it matter how I'm geared? So I don't have an extra 2M to blow for Triumph Earrings for an additional 2 STR. So sue me. That's not even part of the conversation.
2)I only use Spectacles because there's never anything on the AH on my server when I need it and I only re-geared RNG a few days ago.
3)I'll sub something other than WAR when there's something better to sub, k?

reponse:


Please finish reading b4 you post, i've already agreed at this point that snapshot would be ideal for RNG. Seeing as i haven't even merited yet, i wanted a piece that would (as always Blind) benefit THF, and more coincidentally benefit RNG. Why do you think i haven't bought a Kyudogi.

Well Azura... then I wouldn't see what the problem is: If you're going for a combo that would benefit BOTH RNG and THF, I would go with RAtt+10/RAcc+10. Snapshot will do you no good for your THF as it's a group 2 merit obtained only at RNG75 (stating the obvious, I know~).

I suppose you could say that the "Store TP"+4 "Subtle Blow"+4 (with either RAtt/RAcc) would also be a nice addition in the case that you might already have enough of either RAtt or RAcc, but in all honesty, it doesn't seem like that hard of a choice XD

Unless you go with something else.... Evasion +10 (Won't need it on THF <_<)? Crit Hit Rate +3% (always nice, but mithra THF and it's naturally high DEX...)? Fast Cast +5% (for Utsusemi)?

Maho DRK/RNG is back ;D

Snapshot isnt RNG onry, if you wear gear that has the stat on it, much like ??? Affinity items (Koenig shield, Byakko's Axe, the Affinity earrings) and also Double Attack+ gear(ninja edit): you get that stat.

If anything, I think that Racc + Snapshot would've been better then Racc/Ratt because when you use bolts as a THF, you use them for status effects, not their damage. At least Racc/Snapshot would have gotten you the Racc that you need, and the ability to shoot faster, which is what the status effect all boils down too.

:O XD I take it back then. Thanks for clearing that up^^

No lol. Snapshot items are very few even for Ranger. There are about 4 items. Without it being merited and stacked with other Snapshot items, the only way to tell the difference would be with a stopwatch.

You can say the same thing about Haste, Dual Wield, Double Attack, or really any gear. Brutal Earring is only 5% double attack. Does that make it not worth using if you don't have any Double Attack gear?

You can do what ya want but comparing that's a bad analogy. A THF doesn't use Ranged Attack as its main weapon, where as dual wield relates to a jobs main weapon.

I did read before I posted, but it seemed you still didn't think picking one job to use the Mirke on would be a good idea. Your response here was the first I had witnessed where you agreed with the majority here that snapshot would be a good augment for the Mirke. I'm sorry if I didn't understand you. So far I see about 3 different augments that you could do, based on how you want to play your jobs.

For a Thf and Rng Mirke: I would probably suggest Racc+10/Snapshot, but then you'll be wishing you added the ratk+10 if you find yourself playing Rng alot. And then you'll only use it on thf when you're needing to /ra something, but it'd probably be the best piece to do this in.

For just a Thf Mirke: I would probably do acc+10 and dual wield+3, "But wut about my Rapparee Harness QQ" don't fool yourself you won't be capping your acc at anything but farming mobs take that silly purple hooker outfit off and start hitting again. I'm still not sure if this would be outclassed by the Homam body, so if you are close to getting that, then I might not choose this augment.

For just a Rng Mirke: I'd do ratk+10/snapshot+5, which would be a very nice piece that you'd use almost full time on rng.

Those are my opinions you can take them or leave them, but I think they'll suite your needs well.

I'm kind of confused on how that had to do anything with what i posted. I said that Snapshot, from gear, was not RNG only and that it had its uses for THF in a situation where you needed the status effect from acid/bloody/blind/sleep bolt to proc. Firing a status bolt off earlier would be of more benefit then a few extra damage right?

Simply stating that Snapshot would be a poor choice for an augment if you were using Mirke for both Ranger and Thief. Ranged Acc and Attk would be better and of course, that's just my opinion.

this is a quote from my other post "Haste Vs. Dual Wield".


And yes I do plan to on getting Homam Body, but I'm still about 8th in line for it. If you read through that post you'll get an idea why I dont want Dual Wield, Haste just outperforms it. I dont actually make the argument or contribute i just go with what's been said. Though i find it hard to believe Dual Wield actually lowers TP gain, doesn't make sence to me. Matter of fact though, i do have plenty of ACC as Mithra THF, you're a silly elvaan. =)

I've decided to make the Mirke into a RATK and Snapshot piece if that makes you feel any better, but i will wait until i finish my merits. For now the Relic Body is plenty.

have a posted here yet? hmmm, i chose...omg here it comes

dual wield & double attack

Why? coz its fun.

and i use it on NIN too. was actually meriting on nin today, and swapped between osode, koga chainmail and mirke, ok i didnt parse, but the mirke was alot more fun.

And to me it kinda makes sense to stack dual wield and double attack up with brutal and suppa
