    And AGI does affect ranged attacks still, and is the most prevalent ranged WS mod, so... I'm pretty sure it's better off the way it is anyway
    Whiff. Once upon a time the general rule was, you could have all the acc you wanted but without dex you missed alot, same with racc and agi. Att and ratt were governed by str meaning you needed x amount of str for your attacks to be anything other than attacks by a whiffleblall bat no matter how much att or ratt you had. Or let me rephrase it, the ratt, racc and eva (r) paths are all the squid sushi paths, we need a sole sushi or bison steak path put in one of those slots.

    Let me copy and paste what I wrote originally because reading not scanning would be best.

    1. The R.Atk path has R.Atk, R.Acc, and agi. If it is a R.Atk path then it should have R.Atk, R.Acc and str, not agi, as str governs R.Atk, it's simply the way the game was designed, there are other games where agi governs R.Atk FFXI is not one of them, nor should it be.

    I give up, I played rng from 2004 until a year after the nerf on my first char, now I'm using it as a main again, geuss after all these years I better go back to eating squid sushi because it's somehow better. Not! If agi were somehow better for ratt then SE spent far too much time making the main modifier str on ratt food as evidenced on the following page:
    http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Fo.../Ranged_Attack

    Anybody who has ever played rng as a main for any length of time will tell you after a certain point you get enough racc and agi through gear, and from that point on you need as much str and ratt as you can get to maximize your damage. There is a reason why rng gears as much str as it possibly can, and that is not because agi is better, it's because rng has gone from a god damage wise, to outputting about as much damage as an eight year old little girl.

    Edited to add a second paragraph
