ninja novus stat speculation

what do you all think will be optimal stats for ninja novus?
31 det 44 crit
44 acc 31 det
or maybe something else

I'm thinking det/skill speed or ss/crit since it has tp restoration

I think increasing SS may cause TP bleeding, similar to MNK. Can't tell if Goad can be used on self.

As with almost every other weapon, an obscure combination that's probably close to full DET/CRIT, but with a little bit of accuracy so you hit the cap exactly instead of overshooting it at all would probably be optimal, but annoying since you'd have to constantly adjust it as you get new gear.

im thinking full acc may be good since it'll lets you change other pieces of gear in favor of other different stats

It still only has invigorate, same as every other dps. The wording suggests that Goad can't be cast on yourself.

However, since they'll be spending time casting ninjitsu (maybe for 8 seconds in total every minute), skill speed will probably be a better choice than it is for other jobs. Not saying it will be the best, just not as bad.

We aren't sure yet, I hope it can be used on yourself, but I doubt it. If it cant, it may cause an issue of stacking 2 nins in a party for a while.

Of course this is all speculation until we find out how much TP all the skills cost, but it's fun to speculate :-)

Unless specifically stated in the help text, what's to stop the NINs from using Goad on each other? :D

Lol that's what I was getting at.

MY monk has 512 SS and TP has never been an issue in any fight other than T8. IF NINs can goad themselves, that kills the reasoning against tp. Further still, SS materia is a ton cheaper.
