red ninja needs buffs, badly.

I didn't have any problems holding hate or not dieing when I leveled ninja in 2004/2005. You have much more to work with now, it should be easy. I blame player error, if you spent less time pretending to be awesome and having relics/mythics, and learned how to play the game, I bet you could do it too.

DD's also have much more to work with as well though. This is in terms of holding hate, DDs from 2011 are slightly smarter than in 2005 and have access to more gear options (I think such as Swift Belt/Headlong? Were either of those around in 2005... its been too long). So do NIN but its a different ballpark with the 2-handed Update (which i think was later than 2005?), NIN falls behind with a lot of 2handed DD.

Outside of that, I dunno :X I leveled my NIN about the same time as you 2005~ and It wasn't horrible, But its been too long to accurately remember.

indeed e___e. when you've got sidewinders flying for 1200+, and pentas for 600+, its kind of hard for a nin to do anything about that :x.
