I've been focusing on my warrior as of late and I cannot help but be concerned about my low rampage dmg. I'm lvl 60 with 5/8 axe merits using:
DS axe+1 and Tungi, hauby, chiv chain, spike/assault earrings, valkyrie's mask, spike finger gauntlets, snipers rings x2, that +3 att mantle, potent belt, AF legs and feet for my WS.
Using sushi the best I can hope for is MAYBE a 500 on decently strong mobs w/o brd, and I am 95% of the time w/o brd. With meat i can do up too 700 rampages, but i have bad acc issues and usually only end up doing 270-400. I know I need a PCC, been working on it for awhile but have no intention of stopping lvling for it just yet.
I plan on capping great axe soon but right now I have 120kexp in my axe skill and i damn well plan on using it. Any real advise as to what i can do to increase my rampage dmg to better amounts? I was thinking of using STR rings in my rampage macros but I'm worried about the loss in acc.

thats all i have, it varies on weather you hit a crit att or not
 
lol, what kind of numbers are you expecting to see at lvl 60?
 
Not on Warrior, but the Guillotine in my sig was hit at lvl 60. >:D
 
Jamal pretty much hit the nail on the head. You aren't going to be getting really great numbers at lvl 60, since i assume you are fighting things that are IT+ to you, without the access to the better gear and all your merits.

Thats because Drks are better than any job out there.

it has nothing to do with the fact that colibris are about as weak as they come as far as xp mobs are concerned...
 
It probably had something to do with the mobs we were xping on Lenneth, obfuscate is a biatch.

With Rampage being 5-hit, even with flash on you were likely to land a hit or two, which would be the sub-200 ws you were seeing. The rest of the time you were averaging a little under 500, with spikes over 600.

I havent leveled war, but that looks pretty good to me.

Me and Selph were having a hell of a time landing WS also, I missed 3 Yukis in a row at one points, which was just a little frustrating..
 
I didn't even go axe/axe until I was 75. I would stick with /thf or /sam with Great Axe if you wanna do greater damage at lower levels, until 70+ rampage is meh.
 
I pted with "Auronbraska" most of the 60s and id disagree with rampage not getting good till 70. This dude was doing 900+ everytime (Bibiki Bay). While the rest of us were doing 500-700 avg.
 
dont be one of the brain washed masses of gimp rising players expecting to break 1k dmg every rampage soon as they get the WS. i beg you!
 
The reason you see 1k+ rampage at 75 is because your meriting on VT mobs. On IT you will see roughly 500-700, in that area. Maybe an occasional double attack proc or crit, that jumps it to 1k.

To add to this:
http://www.qcdn.org/ffxi/showthread.php?t=49422&page=7 Parse is about midway down...1526 rampage was my high, no MS on this one...on IT mamools. Its possible, but not consistant. Notice my average ws numbers are <800.

Level 60 vs Puks may be a little bit of a stretch, mind you. =/

Only things I can really suggest is (as previously mentioned) perhaps simply going the GAxe route. However, if you insist on staying Axe/Axe, I'd recommend trying offhanding a Viking Axe - it's base damage is slightly lower than that of Tungi but if this acc boost allows you to hit consistently with attack food, the overall damage will turn out to be much greater.

Additionally, you can stick to Rice Dumplings for an extra 5 accuracy if you want. However, you lose 15attack compared to Meat Mithkabob due to the +attack cap difference on the foods. I'd definitely recommend seeing how off-handing a Viking Axe works first of course, and only resort to this if you're still unhappy with your overall accuracy.

Hope this helps.

Yeah... because my almost capped combat skill merits, very decent gear for my lvl and generally good understanding of how the jobs played is going to make me gimp...

Edit: now that i'm feeling alittle better after a shitty day, what i mean to say is with nice gear and pre-meriting i kinda expected to have better then average results

If you want to use rampage you're going to have to stick with sushi. I tested this myself at 75 to see what I would do. In a pt 2 days ago at mamool staging point, I ate a hedgehog pie to compliment my Gaxe, I did some good damage and rarely missed. But then I wanted to switch to axes, and started pooping it out. So I killed myself back in town and ate sushi, my rampages saw a huge jump, while my Gaxe went down.

As far as rings goes, I would eat sushi and try STR rings, but whatever you do, don't eat meat and rampage ever imo (on exp->IT mobs at least).
 
As always, there are two ways to find your optimum Rampage damage, and either takes around ten minutes.

1. Start by ws'ing with STR in every slot possible, acc. everywhere else. Replace STR one piece at a time for high acc pieces until you consistantly hit full tp return on rampage.
2. Start by ws'ing with ACC in every slot possible, STR everywhere else. Replace acc one piece at a time leaving the highest acc pieces in as long as possible (assuming no better STR piece for that slot) until you drop just below consistantly returning full tp on rampage, then add back the last acc piece you replaced.

After your STR:ACC ratio has been set, add DEX wherever available for Crit build. Depending your race, you may see more benefits with the DEX than with other races.
