So took a break after this patch. Does RNG still suck?

Yes

The job essentially doesn't exist anymore. Noone exps it. Noone brings it to the very few select nms it was cool for killing. Besides the widescan having some niche use, its a pointless job.

interesting/decent at KV, OWNM, and misc shit; annoying in exp; fuck off at meripo. it should not be your primary main, period. you can slowly solo EP stuff with it at 75, which is really depressing.

I essentially use it for OWNMs and running fast

Meh, it's still decent enough at stuff like sky/sea farm (especially the outside jailers and junk you usually kite like Fortitude), Dynamis, and other endgame event stuff/wherever you feel like throwing money at mobs til they die - though you're gonna be much better off with a bow than gun/xbow due to the atk/acc scaling ranges. I consider myself at least a little lucky that I hadn't actually burned any of my currency on an Annih before the patch :\

The damage scaling does suck, but the accuracy scaling - especially in melee range - is just awful. Constantly missing status bolts on THF on TW/EP mobs with r.acc gear and merits makes me wanna cry inside.

Yeah, this is fucking stupid and severely limits the type of things THF can attempt to solo.

As someone who was actively leveling it at the time the change happened I agree with Aeroo...I had lvl'd it from 1-61 in about 1-2 weeks at a pretty good pace. Invites were plenty and parties were enjoyable. Since the change when I flag it takes a long time to find a pt, normally I am the last DD invited to a PT now which says something. It's now the leftover class, the "well there's a thf, a bst, and a rng....might as well try the rng because we already have a thf" mentality now. The groups I have had are nowhere near as efficient. I can only use barrage\sidewinder to finish a mob now. It's been about 2 months now and I have level'd from 61-68.

..and then the bard leaves because theres a thf and a rng
