sweet spot
please note that with recent un-nerfing RNG sweet spot has maybe a 5-10% damage differnce. its minimal --Kerah 16:50, 23 November 2006 (EST)
A list of "sweet spots" in terms of Distance for different ranged weapons would be very useful to have.

this doesn't look right
Skill -- Ranking -- Cap at Level 1
Axe --------- B- ------ 6
Dagger ----- B- ------ 5
Agreed. It looks like someone was RNG/WAR when they checked this out... a RNG/THF would probably have those same numbers backward. Either way, it -should- be 5 for each, shouldn't it be? Izzitda Shoes 22:26, 10 February 2007 (EST)
RNG/DNC
I went and tried the /DNC suggestion the other day, and I'm very impressed. Curing Waltz was only giving me back ~66 HP as opposed to the ~75 with DNC as main, but I wasn't about to use that TP for WSs; every time I got within range the worm spat a Gastric Bomb at me and halved my damage for the next five minutes. Sitting back and curing myself with TP, I could easily pull off a chain3 in North Gustaberg (S) off the Rock Eaters. I'm sure once I get to an area with a higher density of worms I'll be able to get 4 or even 5. I also found it was better than /WHM, because not only is TP limitless (and 15%/shot with a longbow; Curing Waltz is only 20%), meaning no downtime waiting for MP or Allied Notes spent on Refresh effects, but you can actually fire a second into the animation of Curing Waltz, curing yourself while you fire. The insta-TP from Barrage made it even sweeter. Oh yeah, and no spell interruption :P The loss of my other archer's knife wasn't even a problem; I was missing maybe once every fifteen shots with ranger's necklace, two beetle rings +1, and Noct Gear +1. No bloody bolts, no Shihei, and I was getting over 5K exp/hour. I'm a born again RNG/DNC soloer, but I don't know how long ~66 hp will be able to keep up with things like Stonega II and Stone III. I hope it lasts until 60 when I get Curing Waltz II :( --LolCass 13:43, 11 July 2008 (PST)
