Crimson vs. Seiryu Kote

[taru_ranger]

Crimson:


Kote:



Which is actually better?

Crimson has range attak +10
Kote has agility +15

[Alauna]

can you get/do you have both?

if yes, why not use both? Use the +ATK for regular hits, for the extra dmg, then toss on the +AGI to add the accuracy for a WS.

(or maybe you'd flip it, and use +AGI to nail your regular shots, then beef up ATK for the WS.)

[taru_ranger]

i dont have neither yet but i'm next up to get either/or .. so i want to know which.

AGI = what again evasion or range accu? also heard its some sort of WS multiplier.

[Mephisto]

Just to throw a bit more into the discussion, how do Blood fng gaunts fit in there as well?

[Jei]

I heard AGI is the last minute modifier for marksman WS. Don't know how true this is but assuming it is, would make sense to use Crimson for Bow and Seiryu for guns.

[Alauna]

Well, AGI aslo plays a role in Archery WS's too, along with STR. The AGI might help to evade some hits just a bit (but since RNG have crap for eva. bonus, it'll take a lot of AGI to make a little difference.)

[Jifan]

Get both. Crimson for Exp and easy NM's, Kote's for hard to hit HNM's.

Both can do what you want them to do. I personally use Kote's more often then I use my Crimson. I bring both wherever I bring my Ranger. Situational basically.

[Nao]

What Jifan said is correct.

Crimson/Blood for EXP, Seiryu Kote for big HNM.

[sharlngan]

actually if u had the gil to blow on the crimson use that for norml attacks and then swap to seiryu for ws

i prefer seiryu all the time.. supposedly agi = rng crit attack

You make sense. Except for that rng crit attack foolishness.

dex affects melee crit rates, agi affects rng attack crit.

kthx.

No it doesn't.

[poweryoga]

str doesn't affect damage either.

[Tifa]

Someone prove their side with some hard numbers, instead of having a 4 year old argument.

[Koroco]

Use crimson for regular ranged attacks, swap S.Kotes in for WS.
From what I've have used and seen. Dex does effect ranged attack critical hits. Also STR does affect damage.
