RNG merits?

[reddogneo]

Well im 74 rng planing on gettin lvl 75 soon I know Im meriting marksmen first but after I have some plans. My plan so far is meriting marksmen>crit>str or agl>str or agl. I considered meriting some enmity down but I also plan on takin pld to lvl 75 so thats outta the question. Now some farthur advice would be appreciated. This isnt some "rng only thread" im not gonna flip out of somen non rng post here.

Talk to Jeiger in game. That guy is fookin beefed to the gills.

5 levels of the skill you use the most (Marks or Archer)
5 levels of the other one.
after that, bunch of differet ways. I'm going Rapid shot activate>Critical hits>STR

What's a RNG?

And yeah, Jeiger's pretty beefy >.>;

 

[reddogneo]

O i didnt know you could lvl rapid fire rate either

If you have an ebow, archery all the way. Other than that, go with what Marajade said - 5-6 or so merits in Archery & Marks.

Should merit both anyways, because RNG should have both weapon types ready <,<

It's not like it matters once you have an ebow... unless you really want to fuck stuff up with a Culverin once in a while. D=

Archery all the way. Obow is crap, and Gun is Gods only, and you can use Ebow on em as well.

I think the best approach is

8 Archery(or Marksmanship)>4Marksmanship(or Archery)>Crits>Rapid Shot>Sharpshot>Str

For the criticals, I'm not sure if it effects Ranged Attack, and I don't party enough to care

For sharpshot, alternatively, you can do Unlimited shot if you have a GM Bolt or a PPA

I probably forgot to add something, so I'll just add it in later.

marks/archery > rapid > crit (yes it effects rng attacks) > str

if you use ebow you might want to swap the crit and str order, but honestly, if you sj war, 5 str or no 5 str, you wont see a hell of a difference.

the largest damage gain we see from merits comes from marks/archery skill (and its one hell of a bump)

after that, keep in mind we dont tend to melee unless were after tp, so you need to keep your DoT as high as you can, ergo rapid shot merits, which by the way, are quite a noticeable increase when you get working on them.

sharp is wasted on anything other than barrage, meriting that is a waste of time. id merit HP over that.

unlim shot is uh, who the hell uses CP arrow/bolt anymore?

lol, I love my PPA. It's nice being able to stack on a ton of STR for your WS and still have higher accuracy then you would with normal ammo.

I do agree that 5 STR isn't noticable on normal shots for the most part, but stacking +50 for your ws is very noticable

Having seen firsthand what Orestes does with his PPA, I can vouch for the accuracy of this statement.
