Subtle blow 5, hyoton3, raiton2, NTE4, 6xSan1. Always had san from pre TAU. They didn't do much then, but their dmg is much higher now.

I used to be 5/5 Subtle Blow, 5/5 Hyoton effect, 5/5 Ninja Tool expertise, 5/5 Hyoton: San

But with Voidwatch, since san spells are procs, I swapped to 4/5 Subtle, 1/5 in each element category, 4/5 Ninja Tool expertise, 1/5 in each of the San spells.

I was always 4/5 sb, 1 in each element, 4/5 nte, 1 in each san. I never really tried to get a great nuke set or fire off insane hyoton nukes though so perhaps i'm a fool.

Tbh aiming for nuking sets on NIN was kinda... I dunno, stupid? Pointless? But back then I didn't have mage jobs and started messing up with the idea of using NIN as a "light nuker", so I developed a build with atmas, gear and nukes.
Not comparable to a BLM of course, but it was pretty fun, decent damage. No big spikes except with Futae Hyoton:San, but very constant stream of damage and an entertaining variation from the usual DD melee mechanics.

Nobody trusted me when I proposed friends to let me go NIN/RDM for those fights where they wanted me on a ranged/mage jobs, but the few that allowed me to usually were positively surprised :P

But anyway, those days are over and really even back then there was little point to do that much work for a nuking set. I have to say though that I enjoyed those few times I managed to put that setup to work ;)

should try to mess around with 2 MAB katanas from magian trials (+22 MAB +22 INT for 2 katanas):D there pretty fun to play with in abyssea with nuking atmas :) + i there are quite a bit of MAB gear nin can wear now ^^ again i only play around with it :3

Yeah in my setup I was using MAB Katana and Yagentoshiro

im full supporter of san nukes ad sange i lean more to sange since i have throwing cap. Decent ra. acc/attack will pump sange dmg throwing 5 shurikens and relic body with augment gives 20 range attack per merit. I use Koga shurikens saw person selling 3 stacks how he got them is beyond me. lol

All I'm seeing in this post is "I carry around a ranged acc/att set instead of useful sets like PDT or MDT." How anyone can consider themselves decently geared and still have room for a throwing set is beyond me.

nin/rdm was pretty fun in abyssea with proper atma, it made me solo a lot of NM for my AF+1 paper.
