Ninja: Walk in shadow.

[dark494]

So ninja has been out have anyone here figured out the optimal rotation for both single target(boss) and adds. I won't b home for another week so I'm super hype about the job but I would like to know the best rotation of the rig/nin. Much appreciated the help

Working on that. Preliminary (but somewhat incorrect) version on a previous page, which me and 2 others are working on.

On a different note, I guess Dancing Edge is bugged. You don't have to hit from the flank with it for increased potency, like the tooltip says.

The tool tip isn't bugged, it said you get 260 potency when attacking from a flank versus 200.

It actually does seem to be wrong. I tried on every direction, and the damage it dealt was pretty much the same.

Probably another mistake of the english translation. In the german version it doesnt mention that you have to hit from the flank at all. Thanks for the confirmation on which version is correct.

So that means ARR now has a melee with pretty much no positional requirements. Tbh that could be a balance issue if dmg is on par or higher to other melees because a position free melee will naturaly be less effected by mechanics, kinda like BRD is less effected by mechanics in comparison to BLM and deals less dmg in return. Lets wait and see though, first parses seem to have NIN quite a bit lower than MNK.

True. I think I'm one of the only people who actually like that positional requirements for ninja is at a minimum lol
