I like Ninja99/ChuckNorris49. I dont need to voke cause mobs are paralized all the fight, I dont do Double attack, I do Quintuple atack 100% proc. taking a Brew lower my stat. Seriously you all wrong... Suport job should be /Chucknorris.
Before you answer, I'm kidding hihihi.
But now you mention some suport job:
-NIN/SMN (Carby can follow you)
-NIN/BRD you can sing youre favorite song
-NIN/PUP to entertain ppl in town
Still kidding... yeah sorry I'm not serious tonight. But I remember back in time, before Abyssea and the level caps was 75... NIN/RNG with gun or Suriken happy with sange... I remember also NIN/DRK for tanking in sky... I also remeber NIN/SAM when was time to unlock WS (and was seriously disapointed)... I feel nostalgic now ^^
Today NIN/WAR is mainly what I use now. most situation (even solo NM in tier I and II abyssea). Sometime I use /DNC just cause: the low man setup need me to stun move or I dont want to bother ppl when I farm/skill up parrying (yeah I know, I'm gimp... parrying just at 300 still need to work on it). Sometime I do NIN/BLM or /WHM just for warp/teleport when doing old school qst.
Oh and about elemental wheel today: I still use it when I need to keep hate and need to stop hiting/facing NM. I use the "dont remember the name" potion that boost magic ACC/Attck. I use it also on mob who use spike shield sometime...
Wish12oz: You right about NIN/WAR melee is best for NIN, but they are certain situation that need to adapt toward some other strategy, and the beauty of Ninja: you can adapt you're play for those situation. not always the optimal way, but can be fun to sometime.
