[Dart]

i'll add to the troll fest.

i totally sub /dnc and stun all tp moves with flourish!

or something along those lines. <_<

Caste ni
wait for 3 shadows
pop pefrect counter
caste ichi
repeat as nessicary OR
pop perfect on the last shadow of ni and regardless of if the mob strips the shadow manually drop it when ichi is 1/2 way cast.

learn to tank on monk

You do know that perfect counter will remain up with shadows up why would cancel it? What if the mob decides to aga or do an aoe tp move and you still have 45 sec cool down on perfect counter timer? Why are you starting out the fight with Ni up? You do know that ichi overwrites ichi and Ni overwrites both. Save perfect counter for when you need to recast ichi and your timers are down for both. Meh I won't get into teaching you how to really tank as mnk/nin. It's too annoying for the feeble minded. TBH I would much rather have a pld be the main tank for anything outside abyssea. Well it is fun to tank kirin as mnk but only because we used to have to sit back and boost for 2:45 and then chi blast QQ Yes, I've been around on mnk that long! Mnk may get high hp and vit, but the gear and def just doesn't make up for what a pld has. Moral of this story is, be nice to your whms, rdms and brds. They are there to keep you alive and having a mnk/nin main tank isn't always being nice to them.

honestly i solo'd all of my thf sam nin head seals by bouncing back and forth from bestruk to pallid as monk/blm stunning all GA's and single targets with shoulder tackle/stun. took forever but it beat waiting around in all seriousness dont do this lol just get some friends to help you proc and some th or you will be there for ever.

You do know that perfect counter will remain up with shadows up why would cancel it?
you cancel the last shadow of ni as a mob attack and it will still take that shadow from ni but your ichi will be up this is assuming the mob doesn't double or triple attack in which case your perfect counter would still allow ichi to go off.

What if the mob decides to aga or do an aoe tp move and you still have 45 sec cool down on perfect counter timer?
see above , also with capped haste generally you can ride ichi until you need to caste ni making the cooldown on perfect irrelevant.

Why are you starting out the fight with Ni up? You do know that ichi overwrites ichi and Ni overwrites both.
because it doesnt matter both give 3 shadows and ill have the timers on both @ 0 anyways.

Save perfect counter for when you need to recast ichi and your timers are down for both.
its just as much of a waste to ONLY use perfect when both timers are down , eventually your going to have both timers down and perfect not up shit happens.

Meh I won't get into teaching you how to really tank as mnk/nin. care to post your gear sets? id love to see what your using. i keep my tp set , inside abyssea vs , outside abyssea vs , pdt , mdt , chakra , evasion sets on me at all times on monk. so id love to see what your carrying / using that makes you such a grand master monk.

I'd love to see how you have room for chakra set just saying. I have an half ass pdt/mdt/eva (cos it's useless doh; thanks easy mode) no chakra gear and I'm 71/80

[Gokku]

whm should be sub sch!

[Deadplaything]

In abyssea there were mobs mentioned that can one shot you Emp de altepa..... Its going to kill you with or without shadows quit trying to come up with excuses on why you still sub ninja in abyssea. Follow the path most taken for Monks.
As far as casting gos spending the time to cast ni on a magic mob when its going to be interupted by your next few hits anyway makes no sense. Also all the mobs who have direct casting and will Ga spell your shadows away. The amount of mobs who have Tp moves that silence you are rediculous. All in all subbing ninja in abyssea is a waste of time and mp and you have plenty of HP if you wernt to lazy to get your Abby of merits, Which most mnks are. Get pdt set a mdt set, Learn to counter get ungimp or play pup by yourself.

If we're assuming all Voidwatch? I'd very much like to see you tank Hahava and Voidwrought on MNK with only 1 WHM as your support.

i'd love to see this as well, coz i know doe sure it would be a nightmare to do, since shaddows are going to be down majority of the time
