I currently have a lvl 33 drk, i am fighting at citadel right now, i 30+3 str and 25 dex, my attack is 152 normal. basically i'm wondering, at that lvl is it true that rng and drk do the same dmg, i did lvl my rng to lvl 18 and do a hell of alot of dmg, and rng 2hr does roughly 300 at my lvl, i stopped lvling my rng cause i heard drk outdmgs rng at this lvl, can anyone give me some stats, or any insight on their opinions on this matter.

One more thing i just wanna say that i think the drk 2hr blows, LOL i am lvl 32 and never use it, i really don't see why they give us a 2hr ability with hp drain that's if we hit, i think it's bullshit, maybe one of the most useless 2hrs, anyone have opinions on this too thanks

If you invest in accuracy a drk can do alot of damage however a "Well equiped" rng can out damage even blackmages in DPS after lvl 20 or so with very little trouble. In regards to your second comment the DRK 2hr is not worthless apperently you have never seen what blade madrigal, haste march, souleater, last resort on a Drk with two short delay weapons can do to an HNM your 2hr keeps your pansy ass alive...

equipped with emp hairpin, leaping boots, 2 archer rings, spike necklace, 2 beetle earings+1, and kingdom gloves, I can match a decently equiped RNG at 32.

I grouped with a RNG/NIN who had 2 archer daggers, RNG necklace and beetle rings+1, for something like +33 rng acc and we were about even with the exception that she was consistantly building tp much faster. My slice was out dmging barrage when i used SE and Berserk. Her bow was not the best money could buy at that level however, and I could not say the same, as i was fully decked out.

I don't expect to be able to match RNG for long however. Argus charm is going to help but even with that...

RNG 2h is great at the beginning, but a friend told me that later in the game it doesn't even do as much dmg as sidewinder, the only nice thing about it is it is a garunteed hit.
