3-rng and cor could make a similar TP Bonus bow/gun.

Hell, if im not mistaken, pre-hover shot SB was rngs top DPS shot cause tp bonus bow + 20% WSD + 10 STR arrow, might even still be if you cant generate stacks, rng is just one of those if you arent shooting on it, why even be on rng at all

It works well and is gnarly. I just can't justify going Savage Blade RNG when I can go COR and boost other DDs DPS.

I felt pretty selfish last time I went Savage RNG but that was only Dyna.

Dyna for example:
Kraken Club/WSDMG Arrow VS a 2nd COR giving all DDS Fighters/Save TP Roll. (On top of chaos and sam roll from 1st COR)

Both still Savage Blade for stupid numbers. Both can still Hotshot/Magical WS the W3 Boss. Only one can buff their party.

I'm not including Abrasion Bolts. I did toy with a crossbow decimation build though.

Wasn't great...

I love Ranger, it's my favorite. But it just feels kinda meh.

I am grateful some of the newer content still uses it for a few fights.

Anyways, heres "zero skillchain woes" according to ffxicalc

H2H: DK/FH/VS
DAG: SB/Exen/MS
GSD: Reso/SpinSlash
Axe: Cala/Onsl/Cloud - Axe has a shitton of problems on their WS choices beyond "skillchain woes"
GAX: KJ/MT/UF
Scy: Guillo/Cata
PLM: CT
KTN: Kamu/Metsu
GKT: Shoha/Kaiten (not that sam can use Naeg)
CLB: BH
STF: nothing endgame tier
BOW: Namas
GUN: TF/Coro


If you're gonna say "but most of those WS's are ***, theyre garbage", yeah...thats the problem. No one uses them because they're ***, and they're falling back to NaegBlade because it outclasses them drastically. Fix the problem by buffing the trash unused WS's so the meta isnt NaegBlade.


Fixing the problem by nerfing Naegling will reduce it to this:

Stat mod reduced to 25/25 from 50/50
fTP scaling: 1.0, 4.0, 6.0
No longer front loaded 2-hit WS

Naegling:
Savage Blade damage +5%
Weapon Skill: Attack Bonus based on the number of upgrades (cap: 3)
Its gonna go from S-tier ambu weapon to E-tier alongside Nandaka and Gokotai, and if you dont believe me you havent been playing FFXI long enough or you havent been paying attention to every other "fix by nerf".
