Is Rapid fire better than Milles Aigullies?

I just reached 4th job on my Phantom and I got Rapid Fire. Now I have to answer the question, is rapid fire better than Milles Agiullies. Can anyone tell me which is better in terms of DPS? Thanks in advace .

Thanks for the replies, I don't hit a steady 250k with each hit so I think I'll be using Rapid Fire, but I use Milles sometimes if I need to mob. Thanks again .

@lansh Actually, I've tested both. I personally had better results using Mille. If I wasn't in the middle of making a video, I'd make one on this to test.

[quote=Engage]@lansh Mille is better for mobbing, while Rapid is better for bossing.

Not only that, but because you can move with Mille, and Mille hits twice each hit. A steady 250K+ is 500K each hit of Mille while being able to move with it. So per second you'd be doing 1mil+[/quote]

Well on single monsters I mean. THe walking thing is true, but rf has better range. And youd be doing the same number of hits with RF as I said before. Mille is 180ms, 2 hits, so 3 hits with noire. RF is 120 ms, one hit, so 2 hits with noire. 180ms is 1.5x slower than 120ms, and 3 hits is 1.5x 2 hits, so the hit. no is the same. SO basically once you hit max with both, just use mille.

@Engage Why? With carte noire, they both do the same no. of hits in 180 ms. Anyways, against one enemy, rapid fire is better if you hit close to 100% crits.

Mille's better if you can hit a steady 250K+ each hit. But if not then Rapid Fire is the way to go.

But Mille > Rapid in terms of Mob training.

Rapid Fire > Mille in terms of bossing.
