best gear and atmas for ranger

[noodles355]

Gaining TP during downtime between monsters.
Gaining TP whilst popping JAs.
Gaining TP whilst holding back to avoid death.

Pretty viable reasons.

Also ITT: You can only have one gearset for ranger. You can't have a separate TP set for inside and outside abyssea.

yes i just started to play ranger and was wondering what everyone thoughts were on the best gear for ranger and what are the best atmas as well

I knew this thread looked familiar lol

yes i am new to playing thief and i am wondering what i should use my merit points on . any suggestions?

yes was wondering what everyone thinks is the best gear setup for thief with af and what the best setup is for non af thief?

yes was wondering in everyone's opinion which atma would be best for thief?

That is all, sorry to interrupt your thread^^

At least it gives us something to talk about. Rng thread is kind of dead. Lol.

Back on topic...
If you want high spike dmg emp bow is the best. However, it will lose to relic gun and bow in overall dmg on harder mobs because relics won't have to hold back like the emp rng would.

Hopefully the new "TA" JA will help even this out.

I like to build gear/atmas around what I'm doing. I was in a worm group yesterday and did /war with GH/RR/mounted champ. I was doing my own thing most of the time to get the most of my JA/WS. I stacked a ton of ranged attack and STR. Between JR, ranged attacks and all my JA I was able to kill a worm every 15-30 seconds and the regen atma put me back together if I happened to get stone IV'd.

When I'm fighting stuff that can move though I like to put something else in that 2nd and 3rd atma slot like sea daughter or whatever else people are suggesting. I also have a pretty bitchin' -enmity set that doesn't sacrifice ratk, stp or STR so I can still shoot.

Please share.

The -enmity pieces are;

neck: Sylvan
ear1: Sylvan
ear2: Novia
body: Sylvan +2
ring 1: Metanoia
back: Sylvan
belt: Buccaneer
feet: Sylvan +2

Together this is like -40 and I also have -5 from merits.

In the other slots you can plug in whatever piece you think works best for what you are doing. There are probably a few pieces out there that give you more -enmity for the slot but I was looking for gear that complimented RNG and not just straight up -enmity(rings and earrings are tough though).

For everyone saying "If you can't get a Gandiva get a stupid weapon instead". If a person can't get a Gandiva, they can get a Harrier. While it may not be as epic as a Gandiva. Having Jishnu's over not having is much better IMO.

The hard part of Gandiva isn't the Aby stages. Its the VNM stages. Since you have to go RNG to them, you can't solo them and need help. At least the Aby or WoE stages, you can come as whatever job works. Finding people willing to wander around looking for VNM's just to help you out can be a challenge, even with a good LS group. So much easier to form a serviceable aby group where people can come on the best jobs to get the items done fast.
VNM's are the most annoying part.
Much easier just to get a Bataleur +2. Actually much easier to put RNG aside until after the aby fad finishes and bring it out when SE finally fixes it.

how hard is Gandiva to get? I keep hearing nightmares about Fistule. I would like an emp weapon, i was going to do h2h but it seems a pain with Chloris.
