Its hard to get +10 evasion anywhere...so yes Pull with this, tank with this swap in for Marks WS with this. Everything else use the RK+2 ftw. Ill be adding this to my - enmity macro fo sho.
I wouldn't include this in the uber RNG equip list.
Comparing it with the RK+2, the main difference that would lean me towards this is the +10 EVA. But RNG evasion is already so low, this isn't going to make the different between you soloing Serket or anything. The 2 AGI is nice, as it will help you do more damage on marksmanship WS.
What you give up is pretty substantial. The 2 STR will affect your normal/WS attacks, as it is involved in the calculations that cut through your opponent's VIT. 2 AGI is still good from this belt. 2 MND will help in your holy bolts' "added effect" damage. 2 DEX will help your axe/dagger melee connect rate, which if you are Lv75 and have the Suppanomimi is a reasonable (read: not the best) way of building TP. Also, if you are, like me, from a country that controls a fair amount of your exp areas, this RNG ATT bonus really kicks in with extra damage. Finally, that loss of HP could also be the different for life and death.
I am striving to get the best equipment for my RNG, and have spent a fair amount of money doing so. I am not trying to say that this is a bad piece of equip for RNGs, it just has its drawbacks. All things being equal, I really think that RK+2 is a better overall piece of equipment for RNG.
That being said, I have yet to see a belt that is better for a NIN. The loss of HP is of no consequence, as a good NIN will endeavor not to be hit. The AGI and Evasion make any good NIN just a bit better.

1st person on valefor to get one (off the AH at least). it sat there for almost 3 days bc noone was sure they wanted to set the opening price lol. i bid in 50k increments until it sold at 3million. i was a little worried i had overpaid at first but price keeps rising now so im glad i did.
i got this mainly for my rng. however, i can see myself trading out warwolf belt for this with my ninja when it is of appropriate level. and yes, rngs should get this over RKbelt, especially if u r not a mithra. however, its better suited for xbow/gun users.
yes... this is a nice piece of equipment, I wouldn’t mind getting my hands wrapped around one of these when I hit 73 hopefully the price may drop but then again it may have an reverse effect and increase in price, just like many items on Phoenix or should i say the game.
