Is Flame Lieutenant's bow worth it?

[Estellios]

Just look at the numbers too. Flame Lieutenant's bow is just outright better than Ifrit's bow on all fronts. The ~3-4 DPS increase is substantial, the damage and delay are both better on F.L. Bow, and the F.L. Bow has the same attack boost as Ifrit's bow, it's no contest. You don't have to worry about not getting the Acc bonus from the set, either. ARC/BRD has pretty good accuracy and if you get some DEX melded on gloves you shouldn't ever be missing. If you are, you can just eat food or wear acc rings.

Also, FYI, you can get the bow "for free". Finishing the rank up quest for Lieutenant gives you a Commemorative Coin which can be traded into any of the black market Qiqirn NPCs for 25,000 seals. Since you will most likely want to get the rank up anyway, there's no reason not to go after the F.L. Bow.
