Throwing

[Akujima]

And this is my exact problem with throwing illustrated, with marches and haste you're missing 2 attack rounds (maybe even 3, possibly up to 5 attack rounds lost if you want to count recasting utsusemi) doing that sange, and the 2 attack rounds would do more damage. Counting my DA/TA rate, crit rate, that would be about 600-800 damage I missed losing 2 attack rounds, and that's if empyrean aftermath doesn't kick in on any of the hits. With 5 lost rounds, you're talking 1500->2k+ damage, and at least 50% tp, so you're half a weapon skill behind where you could be.

I understand you were using weak throwing weapons, but even if you had good throwing weapons, I don't see it doing all that much more, and if it's not going to do more damage then you're currently doing, and it's taking your shadows, why would you use it?

you're assuming that EVERY battle you're going to stay in melee range, and not have to back away from a bosses AoE or, possibly a flying boss that only ranged and magic work on, wherein shuriken can be really useful for NIN being able to get in some extra dmg. And NIN failing at being a jack of all trades melee? Did you miss something, or do you even play NIN? Tank. Gear switch -> Melee. Gear switch -> Ninjutsu DD. Gear Switch -> (Now this is where we need improved ranged capabilities)

Tell me some more things about job abilities, and your stereotypical "You Fail" posts. I got kicked from a PT for being MNK/DRG at Lv41 without even proving how much dmg I could do, lets see if you can figure out the gear combinations for that one.
