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.
