Or, for less dying, have a pet get hit by grudge instead of you.

It can even be resisted randomly without any of the above.

I actually would love to know what this thing did myself, but I can't even begin to puzzle out what it might do at the moment.. I wish SE weren't so damn vague about their items sometimes.

Has anyone figured out rancor collar yet?

lul, Yes

It increases your Critical hit Rate by 0~5% (Based on Tonberry hate0
and increases your Damage Taken by 0~10% (based on Tonberry Hate).

This much is confirmed, could be more, dunno.

That sucks to be honest. Sure Crit hit rate is good, but personally, I don't want to take the extra damage from it.

Really a Nil problem for most. Especially Eva Tank type jobs.

Its the best Neck armor for quite a few jobs though.

All Evasive Tank jobs have defense a little lower than a soggy paper bag. Adding that much more damage taken for a smaller amount of crit hit rate increase is risky.

Besides, what jobs out there would this be the best neckpiece for?

I would use it for a WS neck outside of abyssea maybe inside to would have to test it. Not going to drop 2mil+ on it yet. That and seems a couple of players might be trying to mess with the price on my server.

If i remember right..... WAR, DRG, THF, NIN... I'm forgetting some. Either way Damage Taken +10% Is not as wtf-im-going-to-die as it sounds, Especially in Abyssea.

In voidwatch or something, IDK, Good WHMs can still keep up so long as its not something that runs a real risk of One-shotting you. MNK/PUP get better use of Faith Torque so long as it bumps them up a DMG level i think.

Pretty good WS neck for Multi-hit Crit Ws's too, Like Evisceration, Stringing Pummel, etc.

It's definitely a "Use at your own risk" item as some mobs that have HP Critical moves could become insta-KOs thanks to the DT%+. For common fodder, it's probably a non-issue, especially if you have a WHM backing you.
