i think RNG would be fine if enmity didn't suck

An enmity fix would be awesome all-around.. Janky ability/spell tables aside, the CE+VE cap seems waaaay too low, and the VE decay rate feels way too slow compared to what my rose-tinged nostalgia goggles remember from back in the day. Maybe just double the cap all-around and/or double the VE decay rate? Seems like just doing one or the other would either a) not REALLY fix the problem and just make it take slightly longer before a single Ballad gets you killed, or b) cause the mob to bounce around like a Jack Russell terrier while the tanks cry quietly in the corner to themselves while continuously converting HP and heading themselves trying to pull hate back again.

Or you could *gasp* figure out how to control your enmity and ws to finish off the mob?

There's a ton of different strategies for different fights and it just looks to me like a lot of people just wanted to sit there and spam arrows without doing any thinking. RNG requires adjusting your strategy depending on the situation and if you want to just zerg everything maybe you're better off playing WAR or something.

You're necroposting in a dead thread about a dead job.

And no, "control your enmity" and "ws to finish off the mob" are not valid strategies. I mean, they're how you have to play ranger to minimize it being a shitty job, but that doesn't fix the fundamental issue.

Not having to do that lets you do significantly more damage over the long run. You don't have to waste TP waiting, you don't have to waste damage from overkill, etc.

You're not the first or tenth person to suggest these as a fix, and the thing that none of you guys seem to understand is that there is an opportunity cost involved in all of this. The opportunity cost of having to hold your weaponskill. The opportunity cost of filling your party spot with a RNG vs. something better.

It is a job that is more expensive to level than most other DDs, and it is a job that is worse at DD'ing than most DDs. It also has basically no use in endgame - KB and JoL are it. That's a stupid fucking place to be in.

why are you being a necrotool, roki.

Imagine thinking that everyone hates RNG cause it’s worse at EXP parties then before.

RNG is broken because it has no viable end game roll. Used to be good at (like everyone said) JoL KB and Coney and something you could bring for other easier content. Now why would you? Why the hell would you take rng to be the worst DD at anything? It’s ACC out of “sweet spot” issues are so insane I can’t stand outside of coneys WS range and hit it. KB? Forget about it, RNG can’t kite dick and stay out of range while keeping a optimal distance. As for smaller content like dyna and limbus Yada Yada. Get prepared to hear your tank suck his teeth everytime you hit a button.

TLDR at least BST doesn’t cause the whole alliance to have to run after shit.

Eh they're still fine for KB, at least if they have striders and w legs.

"Fine" is subjective. A player in endgame for any length of time, who actually cares about their LS/group will have more than just RNG able to be used at KB. I'd rather take my RDM and nuke than bring out my RNG. At least then I have support stuff like Gravity/Refresh/etc. I'd actually take Drop's 42 RDM before his RNG and give BLMs Refresh.

Shadowbind has some utility if you kite as well.

I'd rather have a BLM for sure, but it's an easy thing to kill and I don't mind bringing RNG.
