Can the "precast" "midcast" sets be used without using GS? just in-game macros? I dont want to use gearswap add-on. So id basically set a mac to equip my snapshot set then /ra <t>. then after shot animation starts hit a seperate mac to equip a TP set.

Macro1 (Snapshot)
/equipset (Snapshot) <wait 1>
/ra <t>

Macro2 (Midshot)
/equipset (TP set)

Would that work to mimic what GS does?

This is what i do, seems to work fine.

That way DOES work, it has the unfortunate effect of screwing you occasionally when rapid shot procs. Really not a lot you can do about it though, except change to a 2/4 recycle set.

Your rapid shots will proc in the preshot set, so you'll come up short of 1000 tp every couple cycles.

just to reiterate, until you get that dm2 body/trip earring. I 100% recommend going with mekki shakki/bloodrain. You miss out on fencer but getting a 3/4 step set going is too good to pass up.

to go along with valli's set {if you want to use arc body+1}

head: arc +1
neck: ocachi
earrings: trip/volley or levi earring
body: arc +1
hands: Seiryu (+5 stp)
rings: rajas/Paqichikaji(my personal preference for the -3enmity, use that or haj +1)
back: sylvan
waist: elanid
legs: aeto +1
feet: orion +1

that's 32 stp(34 with levi earring) so you'll need 15 in your ws sets.

the arc+1 body set is approx 30-40 less ranged acc, so adjust as you need for the mob/buffs. (i personally don't have any issue using it)

A good starter set could be along the lines of

mekki/bloodrain
head: arc +1
body: orion +1 or arc +1
hands: Sigyn's (from salvage, basically free just requires a little work)
legs: Arc+1
feet: orion +1
neck: orachi
belt: goading
back: Sylvan
rings: rajas/haj/pag
earring: sylvan or clearvie/volley

that would be 32 stp, so 15 stp in your ws set to maintain the 3/4 build. You can bump is down for a 2/4 build.

that's 22 stp in tp set and 15 in ws

or 24 stp in tp and 10 in ws.

I am only just beginning rng. Dont have mekki or bloodrain yet. Any decent alts? is there a poor-mans set that might get me by? any advice would be great. Can I get by with this to farm bloodrain or delve bow? I want that bloodrain for sam too ; ; I usually do PuGs dont have access to a wealth of badasses willing to help me through anything either :( occasionally when i can rouse a few from their own goals I can get help.I have the following:

orion+1 head
orion+1 body
seiryus/itutl+1s (like it says above Sigyns, ill farm those up)
nahtirah pants
scopuli+1 feet(118) (for now)
ocachi
rajas/jalzahns
volley/clearview
Scout belt ><
JSE cape - no augments
cibit - maxed from my sam(for now)
hurlbat/aphotic/atoyac
i have some sylvans but only at +1 atm
(mid-yoichi i know gun blah blah blah but i play sam a lot too so i wanted for both)
my job options are RDM and SAM and just got THF up to 99 but working on that gear as well.

I have a damage, maybe gear too, question. I finished my relic gun about the time my kid was born and have not been able to really play around with it. I have been able to do some events here and there and my dmg is always lower, sometimes significantly, then the other rngs with guns and similar sets.

For really cranking out the damage am I supposed to be only spamming coro, meaning my coro set needs work, or should I be trying to slip in some last stands while aftermath is up?

Any advice or insight would be appreciated as I don't want to be one of "those" RNG haha

Always depends on the scenario. Sometimes you want to spam coro only for darkness skillchains. Sometimes you want last stands if enmity permits it.

Typically, Coro, then last stand after barrages, last stand whenever decoy permits it.

Or if the mob is light based (like marjami delve) coro spam is better, as light skillchains do nothing compared to a darkness skillchain.

my job options are RDM and SAM and just got THF up to 99 but working on that gear as well.

Aim for a 3/4 4 hit with Cibi for now, and a 4/5 Recycle 5 hit with Yoichi later. I have a 3/4 4 hit Yoichi set. It takes a lot of gear and deep sacrifices in other stats to get your 4 hit without STP roll. Using the ranger spreadsheet, I get Yoichi 4/5 5 hit using AF2 119 body and Atoyac (+ weapon skill damage) to be the superior setup.

Yoichi is a fine option. Damage ceiling on bow is higher than gun because of Jishnu's. Of all possible options Hangaku-no-Yumi is probably the highest damage on paper, with Yoichi second, but you will have more hate problems compared to relic gun rangers, so real world damage is going to be less.

I've been trying this setup in situations where I'd like to use meat but accuracy dips too low. With this I can afford to use meat on all but the highest evasion content. With geomancer and bard buffs it gets by on difficult divine might {Edit: I think it was like 85%+ before MR with precision only, I capped when preludes were sung} ]with a cor I could probably use meat on anything. Stp on lutian to keep my xhit. I usually stick to atoyac as well, but I thought hurlbat could be better when the theme is high acc.

Other than maybe town gear, I would say no. There are "better" options now. It's not a bad choice, it's just there are better options.

I used it on SAM for Apex Arrow but Garuda +1 is a better option now, I think.

Is this a 3-hit build (including WS)? That seems like a crazy amount of STP for a 4-hit.

Nah, that's a 4 hit with overTP. Becomes a 3 hit with COR roll of (eyeballed guess) 9 or higher. I use something similar with dagger/shield for mildly evasive mobs when LastStand spam is viable.

I really doubt you'd ever find a situation that Mekki Shakki is worth using these days. That is really the last thing you want to swap. K'ayres Ring, Sylvan Chlamys, Aeto+1 Legs, Skotes, hell maybe even Qaaxo Feet with STP+3 would be things you would want to use before restoring to Mekki.

Let relic head do it's work, if you over TP by that much because you missed a proc just use last stand.

Problem is you would need multiple of those pieces to get the 11 STP you get from mekki/bloodrain grip. I dont see any of the options you listed being worth swapping over to hurlbat/legion scutum unless you are completely forgetting about Xhit and stacking acc in every slot

K'ayres + Aeto gives you 10, you'd probably still gain more damage switching to Kayres+Sylvan+Aeto and using Atoyac than you would using those pieces. If you really need racc from ring/legs switch up buffs, food, or other slots (Aeto+1 are awesome for racc and still give STP!). Mekki is giving you 11 STP, Atoyac is giving you 12 AGI 2 WSD and Fencer.

I'm curious as to the reasoning behind TP overflow for Coro. Does it scale particularly well with TP, or is the set just meant to not have to use relic head proc?

Reread page 74. Nothing has really changed for RNG since those sets.

So I'm relatively new to the post 75 ranger game. Made yoichi for sam but decided I may as well get the most out of it. Quick question; do most of the gun sets apply to bow as well? I realize the ws have different modifiers so theres probably some difference there, but at least the other sets (snap/acc/etc)

Finding yoichi sets is kind of a pain. If anyone has some I can look at that'd be super.

Use all the str you can for namas, generally all str for other ranged ws, besides last stand, as well unless your pdif is capped such as when frailty is on the target and you have fury+chaos then you can add more agi and dex

if using Jishnus are you really better off stacking STR? I thought you still wanted to stack DEX primarily on that.

i wonder what you guys favor on Taeon set, WSD%+ or more STR for Namas Arrow.. Tights and Tabard have high STR so adding WSD% is a bonus! Chapeau, Gloves and boots ? any thoughts ? besides Ratt/Racc on them all.

if your attack is capped add more WS mod, for Jishnu that's dex. Frailty, fury, chaos and Dia will pretty much cap you

15 stp in coronoch;

4/4 recycles 22 stp
3/4 recycles 32 stp
2/4 recycles 42 stp

the numbers, gear off of those.

Going by this, I aimed for 3/4 recycle proc-rate and came up with these sets. Any suggestions?

Low Acc:
ItemSet 333883

Mid Acc:
ItemSet 333884

High Acc:
ItemSet 333885

*Assumes STP+3 on Lutian Cape to get 32 STP and Type C Qaaxo Leggings augment. You could add more Acc to the Max Acc set, but I haven't fought anything that needs that much.

I think Taeon Gloves and Boots would be very nice with STP+5-6 along with 15-20 racc/ratk. For dusk, you could do STR + AGI, just STR, WSD, or maybe even crit dmg.

I don't know how high Snapshot goes, but Snapshot+5 would be pretty nice on the boots.
