Ultimate RR and KJ gear.Follow

Sup Men?

I hope ye are all out there doing your Damage making SAM /blush,because you can.


I read the forum pages back as far as March to answer a question that has been bothering me...Well it only began to bother me when I saw Warriors,in this forum,post different WS Gear Macros for Raging Rush and King's Justice.

In my understanding,this is how it works(in plain English)

So you get a satisfactory amount of TP back after a Weapon Skill.This means getting 16% TP back after you 3 Hit Weapon Skill.
Correct?

Once you have enough TP return after Raging Rush or King's Justice you add Strength.Strength is the only modifier for Raging Rush and King's Justice.

Otherwise use DEX(Raging Rush)
Otherwise use ATK(King's Justice)
Otherwise use ACC.

A few gear pieces are given priority it seems.

Ear: Brutal Earring.

Neck: A sea Gorget.

Ranged Ammo: Bomb Core
(Unless you need Fire Bomblet to reach the satisfactory tp return after Raging Rush or King's Justice).

Well yer, DEX for Pink Birds.I don't hit pink birds much these days bro.

Lets have fun.

Come back to Sylph you nub!!

I've been wondering where you were man. For sure gimme a flist invite asap.

Yeah 2009 was a productive year for me, forum wise anyway.

See you around!

I remember some thread on BG talking about that but (regardless it was signed Starr) ended up along the lines of "sh*t is situational, use RR where you can get decent crits, KJ otherwise (especially low pDIF situations)"

For me that's not really a definite answer in terms of which gear to choose for a given mob :/

RR setup :
Perdu/Claymore/BombCore
HecaCap/Soil/Brutal/Assault
AdaBerk/Heca/Rajas/Triumph
Amemet+1/Warwolf/Byakko/Heca

KJ setup :
Perdu/Claymore/Bomblet
HecaCap/Soil/Brutal/Assault
AdaBerk/Heca/Rajas/Triumph
Amemet+1/WarStone/Shadow/Ares

SC setup :
Perdu/Claymore/BombCore
HecaCap/Soil/Brutal/Assault(Vampire)
Osode/Alky/Rajas/Triumph
Amemet+1/Warwolf/Aurum/Heca

In practice, i didnot make yet specific parses for those WSs in a given situation, but "eyeballed" (god i hate this term sorry ;;) SC definitely owning both KJ and RR on low pDIF situations like DynaXarc.
Between RR and KJ, they are so close honestly i would barely say KJ outperforms RR on mobs where you can't get decent critrate (Einherjar for example) but that's only by a little margin.
In terms of numbers, i put similar numbers to DoctorRough, but i'm surprised about that guy averageing 1150 RRs @ MMJSP (only explanation i see would be you guys were doing lolPuks right ?). Usually, on mamools, i average more around 950ish RRs and 1000ish KJs (i don't use food btw but still 200dmg difference on RRavg is not neglectable).
In terms of gear choices ontopic, i don't have Nlegs or Ares, but sure i'll make tests as soon as Odin/Nidd or GyroGears stop being picky... But for now, i'm more concerned about basic stuff like pDIFs and fSTR, so can't try to answer topic with numbers yet (no data to back me).

I always used to eat pizza+1 on mamools, and the results were awesome. I was able to drop a little more acc out of my setup and ws with a str heavy build. I still used ohat though on those feisty thfs.

Would anyone with a Lyft G.Axe mind testing it out doing SA and a WS that gets a +fTP bonus (steel cyclone) on little mobs? DA shouldnt be an issue since the mobs you would be fighting shouldn't have that much HP. fSTR and Ratio would be capped, so it should be fairly easy to isolate the fTP you are getting, with and w/o Lyft. I'd do it, but I dont have one to test.

RR is not supposed to outdo KJ, yet it strangely does.

The thing is - the more STR there is in your set, the more it benefits KJ. So there is a turning point somewhere.

Shirkan - On both cases you want ATK more than STR. Unless you already have fairly high pDIF.

HOLY CRAP GIGANTIC SIG.

Always, because they both have accuracy+10, and the gorget has something else too.

Ah, wiki didn't say acc+10... sweet as hell.

SWEET AS HELLLLLL. I just have to find a way to insult a Yovra to death and I have myself a gorget.

Thank you all for the great replies.

I've changed my WS macros to suit the two weapons skills.I have a lot of gear to play with all I'm missing really is my Blue Haub and N head.I got sea years ago and I only got off my lazy arse and farmed my WS torques since I started this thread and got the UFO organs,they aint so tough.The torques for sure have added more Bam.


I was never a big believer in using kitty legs for raging rush on anything but Birdz,I started to use them full time and also added more acc in my RR WS in different situations.I had wonderful results.

As for Kings Justice,I got it when it first came out but took a FFXI break,I never really got to play with it.It can be a powerful WS,it needs to be fed,it's a hungry WS.I have no acc issues,so I feed it STR.

I also now understand the need for ACC when it's not just for hiting a mob but also helping you to be higher than a mobs EVA and stuff.
Higher acc over a mobs EVA causes more dmg or crits during non ws/melee dmg?

Overall,if I want to do big numbers I will go RR,it far exceeds my KJ,except maybe in salvage or ein I use both depending my SC bud.

Melee DMG/DoT/Non WS DMG is what the FFXI god gave us WARs.Even if our WS are crap and u have good gear,you can still out parce most job classes at stuff like ein,limbus and dyna etc.

Food is the answer to big for WS numbers and DoT.I guess new WAR will be.. liek omg is food that good,why dunt dey teel me?
I guess the Forum Gurus like lolg are blue in the face from saying it-
EAT MEAT,love meat..feed your GA.
