    NIN getting jipped on gear stats?

    Hey all (and hopefully a mod can ask the developers this question and get some clarification).

    So I'm going through the gear I currently have (which is pretty much all Prototype gear besides the body/legs which are Asurian gear with Rav weapon). So I decided to look into the gear stats for the next few "levels" of ilv and i'm severely shocked. If I were to fully upgrade to the Antiquated gear (since that's all that we've been able to upgrade to so far since savage is still really new for it), NIN's would lose 225 on Determination which is a huge blow imo (while the prototype gear gave almost nothing on ACC).

    I was wondering if this was done by design or if there was a gameplan in place for the dev's to fix this?

    I mean I can still hang with the drg's and such and I know that NIN's aren't supposed to be that single target dps omgwtf but I do know how to play the class exceptionally.

    With the way SE needed Det it's not as much of a lose as it use to be. I haven't tallied the numbers for the new gear due to being in the field but if we get a good increase in CRit then it will work out fine.

    Question since you did add up everything, what are our stats looking like?

    Actually, with a good portion of theoretical BiS lists, Nin crit can get up into the high 900s while maintaining a mid 500 DET point.

    To get the best out of gear you can't were the whole set. You are to suppose to mix and match Esoterics gear with Gordian gear. There is nothing to fix.

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.

    So according to the BiS I came up with I don't see how ninjas have it bad with stats I think they are pretty amazing.

    This is asuming the required ACC cap is 650-660 for A4.
