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

That extra 11 dw reduces your to gain by 5% and increases your attack speed 20%(assuming haste capped).

I think that was in regards to gear combos to getting 11 DW, vs say 10 DW on cape which at the time was a good trade in 1 slot to open up all your other slots for additional stats. With null cape and alabaster earring it may go back to reiki+eabani, not sure.

It was 10 dw on cape, sailfi belt and store tp earring, which comes out higher dps than chasing an extra 1 DW.

Alabaster earring has more acc, but then you can also do dw cape, alabaster and sailfi.

I'd say they're all pretty close. Null cape has more acc than all of them, but also DA. With kc you want dw and store tp, so adjust accordingly.

The combo I use on all jobs that can and benefit. Easy enough to hit 25% haste with malign or gletis.

Sorry I know I made a post before this but that was awhile ago. My post today wasn't about leveling just gearing at 99.

So yeah again I read on one of the other forums (might have been bard but I can't find it) sometime ago where Simon said like reiki yotai and eabani earring to cap dual wield normally if I am not mistaken was actually a dps loss for some reason and if I remember correctly he said you only need a certain amount of dual wield in gear for it to not be a dps loss. I think they were talking about just using reiki yotai or just suppa and that was it.

I know it isn't ranger but I was curious because we try to aim for 11% or just 10% on the cape but I wasn't sure if that was the way to go now for a dw kc ranger build because of what he said.

It just depends on what you're giving up for that 1%, ie the total gear stats for the different sets.

KC needs storetp and no DA/TA, so gears slightly differently also.

There's no hard cutoff point nor a "do this". Compare your set with belt+earring for 11% vs your set with cape at 10% and other options for belt and ear.

Which gives you better stats in general for your KC setup. Use that.
