red ninja needs buffs, badly.

lots of insightful stuff

this makes alot of sense.

Focus on learning the job and skilling up your ninjitsu and let the ranger learn why they need to understand enmity better.

i made it clear i've tried spamming them in the first post, it doesn't work. this is the same reason a pld can no longer tank these days, because they can't match the speed a DD can cap their emnity, making almost everything they do bring aggro their way. has nothing to do with my ninjutsu level, or not knowing the job.

At least you're honest about it.

Much like your relic, your punctuation skills are non-existent.

If you're sitting in a birdburn, focus less on keeping enmity and more on getting the bird dead. If I was masochistic enough to make a bird party, and stupid enough to invite a NIN at that level, I'd sure as hell kick them if they were trying to "tank" instead of contributing to the bloody group. The second bird you can kill with that stone: Your increased damage will likely garner you more enmity anyways. If a RNG can't stay alive at E Ron [S] (where I leveled my Rng 30-50), they're dumb.

Also, lol sock puppets. Seriously, you're not going to outrun that, TearValerin. I'm still having a hard time believing anyone thought they could get away with such a juvenile charade. And I'm still curious as to whether or not the mods have an official stance towards the use of sock puppet accounts on their forums.

this has nothing to do with e. ron, it's wajaom and bhaflau birds. if people learned to read, there was mentioning of sidewinder, and penta thrust, 2 ws you wouldnt even see at ronfaure to begin with. if people spent less time nagging about someone i have nothing to do with, and actually reading posts, we'd have alot more educated people within our vicinity as to what the complaints/ideas were in the original post.

o ok.

Change E ron to Wajaom.

Keep the rest of my post the same.

Everything there still applies. If anything, it applies stronger. You have Blade: Jin. Use it. Don't waste your group's time.

Edit: I leveled RNG and DRG there too on alts, if they're dying at all either they're dumb or their party sucks at killing birds. A NIN not properly contributing damage could certainly be a part of the latter.

why cant one link a facepalm.jpg...

1. wajaom birds are typically synced 5-6 levels before a nin actually has blade: jin.
2. wind ws on wind monster? i mean, really?

Did you really just say that you shouldn't use Blade: Jin on Colibri because they're wind based?

Oh man I almost wish I was on Asura. You are just too much.

Also: dealwithit.jpg, you said Wajaom and Bhaf. You're nitpicking, trying to get a shot in when you don't have anything on me. Use your best DD WS till you have Jin, then use Jin. If you're not contributing to burning the birds, urdoinitrong. If you're syncing to birds too low to burn the birds, urdoinitrong.

Nin was designed as a debuffer/DD originally, not a tank >>

look at it from another DDs stand point that has both a wind based and ice based ws like nin, would you use tachi jinpu or yukikaze on bird?

quote from wiki:

Noticed this on second reading:

尚、コリブリ族は風属性に対する耐性が非常に高く、サイレスが通る可能性が低い上、魔法ダメージを10%カットする。
That's "10% magic damage cut" and very high resistance to Wind element. --Itazura 20:46, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

of course, it'd be ridiculous to use jin on a lolibri.

Tachi: Jinpu deals wind elemental damage, that would be useless on a lolibri. Blade: Jin deals physical damage. Tachi: Yukikaze deals physical damage. Damn straight I'd use them on birds, and they'd do full damage too. I thought you were "almost finished with a Masamune"? And you think Yukikaze does Ice damage?

I'm going out grocery shopping, but I expect great things from this thread when I return.
