RIP Ninja

[GrimoireOfAlice]

I have nowhere near perfect gear, but my Raitons hit on par with my Aeolian Edge-normal combo'd damage and crit'd damage. More Raitons is a very good thing. And that boost will be in conjunction with Haste from Huton being up close to full time.

This is a fallacy though, you are assuming more Raiton is good from the position of a pre-heavensward Ninja.

Post heavensward will be balanced under the assumption that you have a third Raiton, it won't simply be free damage.

Yeah, you said "on par". Do you know what "on par" means? It means "being essentially equal or equivalent; equally balanced", "just as good as" etc.
It does not mean "only slightly worse than". 900 is not on par with 1100. 1300 is not on par with 1600. You can stand by it all you want, but that doesn't make it correct.

My bad then i suppose. When i use that phrase i mean 'around the same'. i didn't mean 'exactly the same'. But then i did throw out representative numbers to try and clarify any misunderstanding in the thought i was was trying to convey, i thought the idea wouldn't be that abstract, so meh and again apologies in any event.

And? Whether the freed up extra CD on mudras is used for more Raiton or any other appropriate to the situation ninjustu is considered 'free' or 'required' by the theorycrafters and that ilk-its a good thing in my book.

I get what you are saying, but it is really irrelevant imo.
