I used to have a KC. Probably the most fun item in FFXI. On BST/DNC, I could back to back WS when using full STP build :D

Abyssea proc? Whinja? Hundred Fists domain dragons?

Honestly, I can't think of a single legit use for it these days.

Rng with KC wouldn't hit anything 119 content.
Anything with KC offhand (besides whm) wouldn't hit anything 119 content.

I know, I have one... I've tried.

You can hit anything, with anything. Just pile more buffs on.

Not true at all. I just got one and with full malignance I'm at 1k acc offhand without buffs. On RDM I'm at 1.1k acc. Apex were melting which was pretty epic

Were at a state where jobs like war/nin/thf/dnc can off-hand a level 85 weapon and still keep up in acc, rng with its acc bonus traits shouldnt be too hard to do the same, like said;

Well I'm going to have to pull mine out and actually try it out in some current content then. I really haven't tried since Aldouin came out and I was whiffing everything in Delve.

Let's bring back Drk KC zergs! Start a petition on official forums or change.gov!

Yea, there's no way KC drk is competitive. 16% of 9999 is still only 1599 damage, 3.82 hits/round, 6108 damage per round with BW up. 22 rounds. 134k in 30 secs if you get 9999 hp beforehand and nothing interrupts you at all. Meanwhile, everyone else with zerg buffs is squeezing off at least 6 WS and beating you before even considering white damage.

If KC rng can cap acc(and still cap trueflight acc, minus mainhand m.acc bonus), they could potentially be extremely high DPS though. Side benefit of KC doing next to no white damage, so in dynamis you wouldn't trigger any 1hrs while building TP. Could get everyone to 2k+ tp then floor the mob with a synchronized ws.

Rua did a Dacnomania SEBW video with CAPPED HP that looked kind of fun, but it's basically dead on anything you can WS. No way normal melee hits can catch WSD unless that something is able to amnesia you. Maybe Qiqirn ambu

Im sorry but I have to say it. I hate when people say things out of their *** like that.

Its not hard to check acc requirements for 119 content. Its not hard to check accuracy with KC if you have one. So why talking stupid statements like their are facts and validate them, by saying you have the item, only to then admit you havent even tried testing or even trying it out.

I will quote myself from RNG thread.

ItemSet 370563

That set would have around 1085 accuracy (without food) with Kclub.

While 1085 is nothing amazing, its enough for most 119 content with proper buffa. Ejin also used it in wave 3 dynamis, but not sure if he added even more accuracy in gear (which is possible at cost of store tp) or more than usual accuracy buffs.

To show it works.
Instead of spouting your nonsense, how about explain to OP different ways to achieve his objective.

Concept of PUP soloing Up in Arms is really old, has several videos on youtube and require no proofs.

Also nice quote you did there. Totally not taking out of context.

I guess you like to read my comments very selectively and you missed those valid to OP.

119 content, like Domain Invasion and t1 Zi tah NMs, maybe. Anything 128 or higher it's garbage.

There is nothing wrong to play this game solo without buffs, but when you think that's your perspective is the only perspective and how you play the game is the right way to play the game.. it's just ridiculous and sad.

Kraken Clubs haven't been useful or relevant since 2011. Anyone who still uses it for RNG melee offhand is playing the game wrong.

this is exactly what someone who is bad at the game would say.

I mean, SimonSes is objectively one of the most informative posters here. Pretty hard to argue he's bad at the game, unless it's on the basis of not having enough free time.

But, to put it short and sweet, you are wrong. Good day.

Anybody saying KC can't work in endgame is basically claiming TP bonus weapons wouldn't work either. And that's blatantly false as those have been used to great effect in pretty much everything including Wave 3.

Sure, even with RNG's Accuracy Bonus traits KC is a bit on the low side, but that's easily remedied with gear/food/buffs.
