Yeah Roin you can get by for now as you are not in the Sidewinder range I believe. From all accounts this WS misses half the time on a good day so you are gonna want every scrap of acc+ gear you can get. +11 or 12 rng acc is huge and you can also spam your arrows faster as you dont have to worry about grabbing aggro once or twice. Not to mention you have ninja in your job description which can only be a good thing as we all know ninja are pimp.
RNG/WAR is a cheaper and less effective way to play ranger. Can you get away with it? Probably.
But why are you a ranger if all you can afford is to be the cheaper and less effective you?
RNG/WAR cannot pull as safely as RNG/NIN, due to the lack of Utsusemi.
RNG/WAR will never be as accurate as RNG/NIN, due to the loss of a small AGI bonus and the ability to equip a second Archer's/Hawker's knife, or the mighty Francesca!
RNG/WAR uses berserk to hit harder per-hit than RNG/NIN, meaning you get to fire less and save money. Sounds nice on paper, but in reality, it becomes much harder to control the ammount of hate you give yourself while still dealing damage.
RNG/WAR only has Defender to fall back on once every five minutes should agro turn his way. RNG/NIN gets to avoid 3 hits for free every 30 seconds. There is no debate as to which option is better for both you and your party.
RNG/WAR isnt as gimpy as RNG/THF, or RNG/BST, but its seriously lacking when compared to RNG/NIN.
If your only arguement is that you are already accurate enough, then you dont have Sidewinder/SlugShot yet.

This topic is about the underequipped losers of the world not the subjob combos!!! Keep to the topic younglings!
As a ninja in the crawlers nest i took it on my self to pull the soldiers to the (kill me for calling it this) "Secret Room" blink tank, debuff, etc etc. Why do i take on the pulling role? BECASUE I DONT TRUST ANYONE ELSE.
time has taught me not to EVER EVER EVER let a 'this is my first 40' job pt pull to the Secret Room. Why? Becasue they usually bring about 6 exoreys 2 flies 8 soldier crawlers a rumble and 3-4 beetles back with them. In fact, screw everyone, i dont care what job i am i can pull better than the guy with the job that was 'meant' to. I pulled better as a bard than the samurai in the dunes, quifm, and so on. I dont care if im the bloody whm i can probably pull more safely and more efficently than the pt i am currently in. Its absolutely sad.
Tonight in a 37 pt i tanked as a war/nin, our paladin used a greatsword and only provoked once a battle to set up sneak attack onto me >< i was like huh??? arent pallys tanks??? wheres your shield dude??? his armor was 2 lvls out of date, i didnt even WANT to examine him.
its sad that that was a japanese pt too -_- ;;;;;;;;

I think its sad that a portion of newer NA generation have very little understanding of their jobs. I was in kazham this weekend lvling thf and I pt'd with a pld using a gs...his answer...I want to do dmg...wth?!
I know its a bloody game...but hell, use some common sense instead of trying to outdo everyone in the pt...
