Ninja: Walk in shadow.

I can't wait good job everyone in giving inputs in the job. Keep up the good work. I think in my opinion the Ninja us like naruto not like some ninja assassin movie. But either way I like.

Hopefully this post doesn't get reported, but this should give some more input on ninja DPS and rotations... http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...oday_with_the/

I messaged Firlana and he told me he did Crit > Det > Skill Speed in his gear set up. Does this sound right? Quite interesting if someone ran a test on this.

Det>Crit>SS

Det will always be the best stat for melee characters due to their autoattacks, also with the use of Hutons attack speed buff it just makes Det worth more.

But back on topic I don't think anyone has got the hang of Ninja just yet, it's incredibly difficult to play in a raid enviroment, there's so much going on to try and get a rotation going that as soon as you need to switch targets its incredibly difficult to work out what you should be going back to.

A lot of the playerbase will probably play this for the challenge, but it'll probably lead to a lot of tunnel visioning in the early days while we watch those cooldown timers like a hawk.

@Jakz yeah I was on my phone, so too lazy to go back and fix it lol. But yeah NIN deals with a LOT of buff/dot timer management.

I'd say Det=Crit for once since NIN relies on AAs and some big hits... But that's just my opinion.

At Eardstapa yeah I watch the video looks pretty sick but he never write his rotation down. I'd like to know his. I've been watching his stuff in YouTube.

You use raiton once every 40~60 seconds depending on whats going on, that big hit is not worth stacking crit for. DET is by far the best stat for melee because it applies on everything.

Except Aeolian is 320 potency, and can hit hard. Dancing Blade can also hit hard. I've seen both at merely i100 crit for 1.1k and 900 respectively... Don't just base it off one Mudra. Nevermind the fact that TA can also crit for over 1k as well when used. It all adds up.

EDIT: Butcherboy, there is no real rotation, mostly a priority system.

Anyone know the stat weight for det crit and ss . Since I was thinking about going det and ss combo
