Power Rangers: A Guide To Pewing

Considering there are times when you don't wanna be close like the new Ark Angels, yes you can shoot for TP.

those situations you don't want hate, so you'll be using relic gun or bow.

ignore, was posted before your response.

So with the GearSwap (the spellcast replacement available now) any one who really knows LUA and RNG well want to be responsible for a new centralized "Master Rng" file - would be good to sticky to this guide and in time save the XI community all using different ***.

I shoot for tp, and with very effective results too. Eminent Bow returns 16.5 tp base, so I've created a 3 hit tp build ~ 80% of the time with my relic +2 cap. My weaponskill set is this

ItemSet 317285

Since I have 12 sTP in that I get 18.4 tp after sidewinder. My tp set is this

ItemSet 317287

It has 35% snapshot and stp + 36, so I get 22.4 returned tp per hit. Thus

18.4 + (3 x 22.4) + 15 == 100.6

The af +2 hat has a 90% activation cap, so I'll only get 3 consecutive recycle activations 72.9% of the time. But our native conserve tp trait coupled with the light belt raises the 3 hit build rate to about 80% in practice by effectively granting me the equivalent of a "free" recycle activation on a few of the times when recycle doesn't kick in but conserve tp does.

0.271 x 0.32 == 8.6% more 3 hit builds just from conserve tp

the actual 3 hit build rate is 72.9 + 8.6 == 81.5% , so better than 4 out of 5

This is of course my standard tp build for mobs that don't evade much and don't threaten me. If I'm fighting harder mobs then I'll be using my high accuracy setup, but those are also the scenario's where I'm not gonna wanna get close to the mob anyway. So yeah, I definitely shoot for tp. I'm working on unlocking Jishnu's and saving plasm for natriarch trousers, but this tp set is devastatingly effective in the meantime.

Does anybody have an updated set for Eminent bow/JR set w/ gear up to 109 AF? Thanks a bunch.

There was a Jishnu's set posted a few pages back, which is still current.

With the exception of possibly the body, AF is still just macro pieces.

i disregarded how pro +1 socks are. ._.
legs are also for +r.acc setup, if capped r.atk they'd also probably be a better option than nahtirah trousers but have no maths.

Just 119'd my Anni though, and was unsure which body piece I should be using for Coronach. Iuitl, Kheper, Orion Jerkin+1 and Kyujutsugi all look viable. I've been using Kheper but I haven't gotten to play with it on anything worthwhile.

Transitioneer,

What do you think about this for 119 gun?

input /equip neck "Thunder Gorget";
input /equip sub "Legion Scutum";
input /equip ring1 "Pyrosoul Ring";
input /equip ear1 "Sylvan Earring";
input /equip range "Annihilator";
input /equip head "Uk'uxkaj Cap";
input /equip waist "Thunder Belt";
input /equip back "Terebellum Mantle";
input /equip ring2 "Rajas Ring";
input /equip feet "Iuitl Gaiters";
input /equip ammo "Achiyal. Bullet";
input /equip body "Iuitl Vest";
input /equip ear2 "Vulcan's Pearl";
input /equip main "Aphotic Kukri";
input /equip hands "Iuitl Wristbands";
input /equip legs "Nahtirah Trousers";

You forgot input /equip race "Not Tarutaru"

That's what I was using, aside from the body piece. seems right but not positive on whether the wsd+% fron kheper even matters anymore with all the ilvl gear which is why I had to ask.

Also I have crit rate+ on my iuitl vest for jishnu's if that matters.

/race tarutaru m
//face 14a

in my init no worries

Orion +1

Cool, thanks austar.
Good thing body upgrade isn't too bad, ima just have to unlazy and get that +1 instead of waiting to get a kyu :<

Also if anyone has 119 yoichi+jr and wants to post/PM #s from a Ceizak delve that'd be awesome. i wanna conpare the 2 but am still a ways off from having a useable yoichi.

kyujutsugi is very very minor downgrade, but may have more uses outside of ws.

Yeah +1 r.atk/r.acc over kyu, but who knows how long it'll take to see one drop :<

also was thinking kyu would be a decent shoot-for-tp piece seeing as that's now a thing again with D/VD AA/DM. whether or not it's 'best' would require rehashing the whole r.atk bonus on caban thing, which i don't believe was ever precisely quantified (or even confirmed)

The Caban bonus was strictly determined to be 5%. Whether or not that bonus CAPS was never determined. It is safe to assume the rttk bonus caps at 50 rttk, like similar attk+% pieces at the time. If it does cap at +50, the Kyu is likely the best option across the board (except snapshot).


Edit: sorry, calling kyu the "best" is a miswording - it is a really good piece though

Gotcha. I don't remember seeing any substantial, confirming tests on caban but it's been quite a while since I looked over those posts.

Also kyu is definitely the best body based on how cool it looks. The slight increase that Orion+1 has over it is nullified since it looks lame in comparison duhh

I believe it has been reported to drop on Divine Might 2.0
Also Orion socks +1 look to be best feet.

On side note 119'd anni today.

oh dang dont know how i missed that lol. dem socks are pro.
superior to iuitl for ranged tp and last stand/jishnus/coro.
nice catch zero. also grats on the gun!

yes. especially if you melee for your TP, then WS with it.

Thanks, also the orion beret +1 might be best Marksmanship WS piece compared to Uk'uxkaj cap for head.

Along with orion bracers +1 over and iuitl wristbands, and Buremte gloves when ranged accuracy is not an issue?

dont forget about eminty on JR is ridiculous.

1 one thing about rng is managing hate. not the damage you do.

For Last Stand/Coronach Orion +1 should win in head/feet flat out. You probably don't need the accuracy badly enough to use legs over Nahtirah. Orion Jerkin +1 should be best for Last Stand, but HQ Khepri should still be better for Coronach(Orion +1 will beat NQ however).

As for hands Orion +1 and Iuitl are very close, favoring Orion +1, however if you have a decent ranged attack augment (at least +4 or +5, up to +10), the difference is basically indistinguishable.

i totally agree with you Inference, i do have 1 question hopefully the RNG community can solve. Kyujutsugi great body piece.. myself and LS mates have been debating whether we should swap out caban finally and leave it as a Preshot piece and end shot in Kyujutsugi...

everyone knows when they are in their 4hit build set and scout's beret doesn't proc once -_- and it turns into a 5 hit. . . well Kyujutsugi fixes that problem! if scout's doesn't proc one time in 4 hits it will still = 100 :D depending on the rest of your build of course but most RNGs (Annihilator ones) generally have the same STP set.

i know or i believe the Caban's ranged attack has never been quantified so we don't know what we are potentially losing if anything by swapping!

thanks for feedback in advance!

reading the last few pages, the consensus seems to be not to shoot for tp? what would of melee set look like?

i guess this is assuming delve situations. since its the only content we have to do.

This was posted by someone else a few pages back on the forum and should serve your melee needs in Delve just fine :
Its up to your alliance setup if you want to shoot for TP or not, really. We still shoot for TP in Ceizak because we bring 3 RNG to it, so there's no problem giving RNG buffs to RNG and melee buffs to melee.

As mentioned before this can vary on your group; pulling hate at a far range isn't being useful so you'd need to be mindful of that, and Mastop will vary depending on how your group chooses to take him down.

If you're doing harder modes Ark Angel/Divine Might, you will be shooting for TP obviously since there's no point to bring RNGs if they're in melee range getting hit by all the TP moves.


Will test Caban vs Orion +1(since it will give similar white damage) on some Adoulin normal mobs, and depending on what I find maybe try it out on Divine Might.

Hi, I have a quick Namas question:

ItemSet 302663

Is buquwik cape better than lutian cape? Manibozho gloves are path B rank 15, btw... The 30 ranged attack seemed better to me than iuitl wristbands in uncapped scenarios.

Thanks.

EDIT: I was also contemplating orion socks as well, but was thinking Iuitl are probably better until I can +1.

Will do a better test of cap tomorrow of after the new year, but for now here's the numbers to back up that Caban +2 adds 5% additional attack to velocity shot.

Data and Such showing 5% damage, and preliminary results for cap test:

All tests were done with Eminent Bow at 300% TP(didn't record numbers until 300%) so it can be assumed the latent is inactive.

Distance Penalty Calibration
Tested with Orion +1 initially, velocity shot on at ~1.7 yalms, unbuffed, on Chapuli level 100.

Attack=1130, cRatio=2.2691, Base Damage=396
Expected Average Damage=396*2.2691=898.56
Actual Result=801.602

Since there are no other buff factors to consider, it is safe to assume that the differential in damage is completely caused by the distance penalty. 801.602/898.56= 0.892


Sylvan Caban +2 Test

Attack=1094, cRatio=2.1968, Base Damage=390(less STR on Caban).
Expected Sylvan Caban +2 Damage(no additional velocity shot modifider)=390*2.1968=856.752

Actual Average Damage = 796.7551

Remove the distance penalty from the actual damage = 796.7551/0.892= 893.223

893.223=390*attack/498(Lv 100 Chapuli's Defense) => attack = 1140.577

"Base Attack"(before Velocity Shot)=912

1140.577/912=1.25. Where as velocity shot is normally 20%, we see the attack modification is now 25%.

If we double check using spreadsheet numbers, 912*0.892*1.25=1,016.88 attack
1,016.88/498=2.0419*390=796.35(within 0.4 of our actual average damage).

Preliminary Incomplete Cap Test
Soul Voice Minuet IV and V were used, with 5/5 merits and a +3 instrument.

This results in 146*2 = 292 added attack.
We have to be sure to apply the distance penalty to the attack before we add the minuets, that will give us the number modified by velocity shot.

912 base attack * 0.892 = 813.504
Add the minuets
813.504+292=1,105.504*1.25(enhanced velocity shot)=1,381.88 attack

But, if it caps at +50 ranged attack, we'd expect 1376.6 attack instead.

Average from 21 shots=1078.667
In the uncapped case we have an expected damage of 2.7748*390 = 1082.195

If capped we have an expected damage of 2.7643*390 = 1,078.07

So as I said before, close, but technically indistinguishable. With a soul voice 3 minuets I'll be attack capped on Lv. 100 Chapuli and VERY close for Lv. 102 Chapuli, so I'll need to find a new mob that I have information on with higher stats.


As Froggis said a few posts up, if we assume the attack cap is +50, the TP damage between Orion +1 and Sylvan Caban +2 becomes almost identical in a buffed, capped accuracy scenario. When you need accuracy Orion +1/Kyujutsugi will win more notably due to the extra AGI, and as Bleu mentioned, the Kyujutsugi has overall DPS applications with the additional STP+5.

Maybe wait a day for me(or someone else) to confirm/deny the +50 damage cap, but for now I'm saying pretty confidently you lose nothing shooting in Orion +1/Kyujutsugi over a Caban +2.

Edit: Took out spoiler for now since seems broken.
