The Ninja Superthread

no loot is random, you can get chest item from anywhere according to reddit

If your group can kill the carapace in 1 go comfortably, save trick attack for the snake, and dot up the big guy in p3 before going up. Also when you come down from carapace you can get in 4 GCD's on a Snake. Obviously tornados kill your dps. Just some tips.

I still haven't figured out exactly when to jump off/on the back. Sometimes I'm stuck not being able to get on for a bit because of my debuff, so on those my dps plummets.

Sry, wrong thread :c

So how is everyone going about gearing up?

Is WTFast premium worth it? I tried the free version and saw some improvements on my latency but it still wasnt enough to fix some of my issues with the ninja.

I'm a former monk player, but with the new skills not changing the main rotation of the monk i'm starting to feel bored with the class. I really enjoy the nin gameplay but I absolutely cannot stand the mudra lag that screwed up a lot in final coil.

WTFast's trial is pretty crappy. You will barely notice the difference but I've heard the premium is a whole different beast. That being said I use Pingzapper because I could actually see the improvements from the get go with their trial. There's many other VPN programs WTFast is just the most popular.

Smoke Screen is basically Quelling Strikes for another player, right?

Would I get flamed by another DPS for using it on them...? Because they want to see themselves high on the list???

If they're a weird type of bad where they can actually pull DPS but care about their position on the aggro list, maybe? Or if you do like I did and accidentally use it on a tank. >_>

In my defense, they had just died and the only difference between Goad and Smoke Screen on my layout is Ctrl vs Shift. >_>

Smoke Screened the tank. >_>

Go write that in the DPS corner of shame :v!!!

A few pages back someone wrote down the optimal rotation. They also have a pretty decent guide in their signature. NIN is a fast playstyle that can heavily punish your dps for mistakes, so it's not for everyone.

A few pages back

Why isn't the initial post being updated? Or if the poster is no longer around, why hasn't a new superthread been started for the expansion?
