NIN combinations

[Tamoa]

Is there even a shield that nin can equip?

Is there even a shield that nin can equip?

Latent: /PLD

(they are other lv30 "Latent" shield but I pick /PLD one)

OR:



Drop from a zNM: Mahjlaef the Paintorn

You can have this too if you where at the fan festival 2008:



So I don't think it's even worth mentioning NIN/PLD to "use a shield".

I don't know about you, but that "AGI+2" and that "MP recovered while healing +5" sure seem mighty enticing.

This is why I can't find respectable Ninja's these days? -_-

Thanks for depressing a dedicated Ninja since 2003.

Kaerin, I'm surprised you have the strength to continue arguing in every thread that's ever made. It's impressive first of all and it's ... confusing as well. Your tenacity knows no bounds.

I personally use /WAR. Always. I also have a WHM/BLM dual box I tow around with me wherever I go. When drops matter it's WHM/THF with a TH sash. If necessary I have a triple box bard I never care to run. I'm only ever /DNC if I'm going to campaign and I'm too lazy to log in my dual box. I've only ever been /SAM in ballista (60 cap haydays), /COR in ballista (60 cap again), or /DRK when it was useful.

I never carry warp scrolls. I'm a GD ninja. My 2 hour takes care of that for me, lol. I let my dual box die if I have to for warp (as WHM/THF). Otherwise it's /BLM. There's a point of efficiency at which a USABLE dual box exceeds it's usability as a dual box. And no matter how much better I make my alt WHM, I can't use it any better because I'm dual boxing. So it doesn't really matter to me. /BLM works perfectly fine. Stun is a freaking boss.

I prefer to represent Ninjas in the best case possible when I'm in groups. That means going /WAR, and sucking it up when I'm stuck in the Black Mage party. I'm a Ninja and I try to be the best, because that's what I like.

Someone asked earlier who keeps hitting the "Like" button on Kaerin's posts, I know I've been liking them, because he knows what he's talking about. When it comes down to it, nothing is more optimal than WAR. And I'm not going to reiterate all the truth Kaerin's been saying because there's no need to, he's hit it spot on.

I have a RDM mule because I'm way too lazy to level WHM and gear it; because Cure 4 is more than enough for me--because I rarely ever get hit. Even in Dynamis I prefer /WAR and let my mule do THF/DNC, and things get killed a bit faster. Personally I have to agree with Langly, its hard to find respectable NINs on our server. I watch NINs who can't even use Issekigan correctly (IE throwing it up before you're engaged, using it while a mob is facing someone else) and people who still TP in Empyrean hands even after they gave us Koga +2. I shudder every time I see ANY job other than THF sub DNC. It seems most people who played NIN seriously at the 75 cap understands the job a bit more comprehensively than anyone who leveled it post 75.

There's a person I've met on our server who impose that common knowledge in joining Voidwatch pickups on NIN is to be /DNC. While I will oblige if I'm asked, I will never assume that my default sub will be anything other than /WAR, because I know what I'm there for: Some supplementary damage and katana/ninjutsu procs. Wasting TP and time on steps and sambas slows down my dps and overall damage. But I'm not going to delude myself into thinking I'm going to be the one doing a large portion of the damage, that's what BLM, WARs, SAMs and Resolution are for.

Need stuff to do while I play Fishing Fantasy XI, cause Diablo 3 sucks after 2 weeks. Maybe GW2 will be fun.

Hear hear Kelga. I'm far too passionate about NIN so when I see the things we see... I weep ninja tears. You can't see them but they kill beluga whales.

And I'm sure you have situations where even you will out DD the relics and empy's in the DD party. I know I have many times. So I keep going /WAR. And I keep doing my best.

@Kaerin lol Fishing Fantasy XI. Love it.

[Infidi]

NIN/NIN best combo. That is all.

[Dragoy]

Ehh, why not NIN/BRD!

Raptor Mazurka, activate ! !! !


What?

[Catmato]

That WAS a practical sub before the nerf...
