I'm new to RNG. So, don't hate me for asking a (most likely) over-asked question.

Blood Gauntlets or Seiryu's Kote?

One for TP one for WS or full time?

I'm unsure about what takes precedence in WS's

RACC>RATK>STR>AGI???

Please advise.

Blood for TP, Seiryu's for WS. Use accuracy as needed, but generally I believe it's STR > AGI > Ratk

Don't think you can go wrong with either piece for RNG TP.
Seiryu's Kote probably better for WS.

I'd probably prioritize based on what other job(s) you play.
Seiryu's Kote are a must-have piece for SAM/RNG.
Blood Finger Gauntlets are an excellent item to have for DRK when casting Drains/Aspirs. They're a must-have for COR. They're also handy for RDM to raise your damage-per-tick on Bio II/III. Neither DRK or RDM is widely-used for ranged attacks, but if you wanted to shoot stuff with DRK (Bloody Bolts?) or RDM, Blood Finger Gauntlets would be a boon.

I might add I don't think blood fingers raises your bio anymore on rdm since at 80 we cap dark at 215 now.

That plus alot more gear and merits will get the next tier on bio III though.

/sch dark arts. Add some gear to that and RDM can damn near hit 300 dark magic. Makes for a painful BIO3.

BFG perform better than S.kotes for Sidewinder. This is not accounting for the extra RACC from S.kotes (if you need it that is).

@row... um aren't those feet new moon only?

As far as /sch goes... well the entire point of bio3 is dot soloing... chances are you are /nin for that

Depends on Archery or marksmanship.

For TP phase BFG's are always going to trumph S.Kote.

Hoever, for Archery BFG's will out parse S.kote on sidewinder.

For Marksmanship, S.kote top BFG's for slugshot.


As for precedence, it really is dependant on your merits and situations.

My personal advice is to build up to a 5/4 hit, then build out for 85-90% Racc, then ratt and str.

Just to point out the obvious Use Seiryu's for Barrage.

Edit: Unless you got AF hands +1.

Well, I have 8/8 Archery merits from SAM and I have 0 marksmenship skill. Sooooo I think it will be for archery. lol

Then generally speaking, build for 5 hit, then pile ratt and str.
