Ninja: Heaven-Sword (And Beyond)

Should definitely be prioritizing Dex over vit, the increase from the vit on the class stats is negligible from a damage taken perspective so it's better to just add it to the Dex. From a realistic perspective you shouldn't be getting hit with anything that isn't raid wide or mandatory damage. The current gear has enough vit to meet the threshold for this and allow for some mistakes.

As far as secondary stats, I haven't seen the stat weight updates since the expansion but typically after meeting acc cap I prioritize det > crit > SS. 1 Dex was worth about 3 det before expansion.

Understood! In that case, have I really hurt myself in the long run by putting those 2 points in VIT randomly? Or is that pretty negligible as well?

Sorry guys, I forgot to make an "update post" yesterday so here it is now. Mainly QoL and stuff I was asked to edit/add in.

VIT on NIN

Yea, VIT won't help you much... its easy to forget, but the DEF from a Tank is far superior from a DPS', not only their HP. So even if your HP does get 200 points closer because extra VIT, your DEF and DEF skills are by no means in the standings of a proper Tank... hell, even Healers are tankier than a DPS.

So, yea, better focus on what you can do :/

I mean 2 points of Dex is negligible in its own right. The race you pick likely has more Dex variance than that. But restating is very easy (keepers hymn from GC with seals) and every little bit of damage helps.

I think I'm gonna hold off in worrying about bis until I know the acc cap for Alex savage. Just collecting gear pieces in the mean time.

That's fine, lol. That's why I asked . So in that case, is there a way for me to reset those couple bonus points?
As far as accessories go, I never really OPTED for VIT. I mean I'll always throw something for DEX on before VIT, but just in the case of leveling or whatnot, if a random ring drops from a dungeon that's an iLevel upgrade, but is a VIT ring instead of a DEX ring I may put it on until I can find a suitable DEX upgrade.

Thanks! I'll grab one of those for sure!

Even if the VIT ring is an item level upgrade, the DEX ring will always be a lot better for you. If I'm remembering correctly, none of the Heavensward content is gated behind item level until the Level 60 dungeons, so increasing item level isn't very important until that point. Then you can get full i145 DEX gear from vendors/questing and start getting i160 from Neverreap and Fractal Continuum.

Oh damn I forgot there was a new thread.

Firstly Leggerless, thanks for the updates, it's a MUCH better guide now.

I have completed my video guides for Ninja which you may be interested in adding in as I feel they compliment your guide well.

Here is a link to the old guide (2.4):
