A Ninja without Throwing...

[wish12oz]

We got to think outside abyssea and all the atma boost, because abyssea expansions are done.

I dunno why you posted this comment in 2 threads, but the answer is the same, haste is not somehow less effective outside abyssea.

But consider this, Ninja shuriken when thrown actually hits harder than a single katana melee hit. So what if Ninja gets an ability that allows them to only throw but faster twice or even triple throw instead. Similar to the MNK ability that lets them kick only. Ninja can now throw quicker twice in a row or triple.

Lv99 is still some levels away so i'm sure they can make new gears, weapons and abilities that could fit all this.

thoughts?

If throwing a shuriken doesn't do more then 6 melee attacks worth of damage and tp gain, it's not useful. Triple throw would not accomplish this. So who cares if 1 shuriken can do more then 1 melee hit, it needs to beat 6.

Like I said, my answer is the same as before. Give it a boost, throw faster, and even throwing only. There are throwing weapons with 250 base dmg since the RoTZ expansion. Ever tried throwing those artic winds from sky? I crit a mob with that for 600dmg a few years ago at lv75 and that is equivalent to 5 swings. Look the big picture here is that there is plenty of room for improvements for this skill. Try to brainstorm for this skill in FFXI that is lacking improvements for throwing.
