You'll Shoot Your Eye Out! - New FFXI RNG Guide

Last time I enjoyed RNG was ZNM and Odin fight when they were end game.

I think Ranger to me has always been the specialty tool in the garage, surrounded by things like Grandpa's wrench set and the jackstand that came with the house. You can use the specialty tool in the wrong situation, and about 90% of the time it'll suffice- you'll get the job done.

Is it done as well as maybe a more generic-use tool? Well, in some common situation...no. The old standby many times is that way because it works. If you need to cut down an old dead tree, a mitre saw or jigsaw will cut thru just fine; you'll just be there a bit longer than if you had brought the less-fancy chainsaw.

Ranger is just the same way for me. Gear it properly with good versatility and proper buffs, Ranger can be your DPS in -again- about 90% of situations for this game. You'll just be there a bit longer. But...for those unique moments that might be rare but do still exist, sometimes the Ranger is the only tool that works. So enjoy being the Round Peg that truly belongs in that hole; and enjoy being the brute force blitz you can force into most other holes ;)
