What are your thoughts on DRK/RNG?

I tried this 1v1 on my server, it was pretty fun to do since I don't have SAM leveled up all the way (yet)

Head - Optical Hat
Neck - Peacock Charm
Earring1 - Fenrir's Earring
Earring2 - Brutal Earring
Body - Abyss Cuirass
Hands - Crimson Fng. Gaunts.
Ring1 - Rajas Ring
Ring2 - Jeager Ring
Back - Amemit Mantle
Waist - Gun Belt
Legs - Galliard's Trousers
Feet - Iron Msk. Sabatons

This effectively gives me some R. ATT with +54 R. ACC (+10 from RNG sub) to help cope with my E in marksmanship, as well as the gun belt. The whole premise to gain TP while dealing damage. The ability "Barrage". Also gives you the wide variety of status bolts that'll pull your ass out of the fire. It works surprisingly well.

Barrage/Sharpshot, (poisonga for shadows) Stun, shoot, I get around +50 something TP, drops their HP to about 70%, get a couple swings in, weapon bash as needed (at this time, they quit trying to get shadows up and start trying to beat the crap out of me) Guillotine. End of battle.

I've been owned with this setup before though, when Barrage isn't up or it misses entirely. This setup works really well if you're not respawning and just getting up with that 50% TP cap when you are revived. Get up, Barrage, WS.

Anyways, a fun job combo if any DRKs out there wants to try it. I've died more times than I can count with NIN sub, it's just so overrated. I've had more luck and more fun with a WHM or RDM sub.

Try it out and see what you think.

You should try that gear set up with sam sub. you still get the range ACC and ATT, which you can use to spam bloodybolts, which give great TP for what seems like less delay than using scythe regualrly, and you save mp fromdrain while doing damage. Then you just med up and finish the deal with a nice WS.

ppl underestimatre tho power of a drk with ran acc gear. i just recently starter using the Acc boosting(beetle+1 etc) rings in many different caps and even with my skills far below cap i hit at about 60-75%.

Skill ranks do really make a difference until no caps, which to me seems to be a well kept secret. my bind lands ( doesnt stick very long tons of times <.<) in 60 caps with 110 enfeeb skill <.<. Drk is one of the most flexible jobs in ballista, and easily the best meele, imo if you explore all your options.
