I'm not sure whether or not I'm weak, average, or strong for a level 80 hermit. I was wondering what my range should be at this point because this is my first 3rd job character. My current range is 1007-1792 unbuffed. Any advice on this would be great.
It really doesnt matter for you right now. If you want to grind faster, get better gear. Its worth every meso to get to level 135 faster, just buy better gear whenever you can. To put it in perspective, 1b is not a lot of meso once you get to bossing. Also the range displayed at your stats window is really not represenrative of your L7 of TT, wich use a special formula only involving LUK, Watk and some constants. Your displayed range uses LUK, DEX, STR, Watk, Mastery and other constants. Tl:dr, Play the game, do whatever the fuck you want. It really doesnt matter if you are dealing significant damage or not. See better gear, fuck it, buy it.
