ninja BiS stats

[Donjo]

The stat weights used by Ariyala still are the monk ones and aren't copy/paste'able to nin. Crit in general is weighted higher than skillspeed because of how the stat scales, monk is an exception for this because of bootshine autocrit and traited inner release, so crit is rated lower. Nin doesn't have bootshine and traited inner release, thus crit has to be more weighted in the way it is for other jobs, which is way closer to the actual stat weight of det, while skillspeed is still as low as for every other melee class.

Big margin was an overstatement, but still set one is better and it's pretty clear by just taking one quick look at it.

Okay, let's play with the numbers then. Other classes have between 0.2 and 0.250 for their crit rate, excluding Bard and BLM who have crit cased procs. Let's adjust our fake weights. Det is probably still the best. We'll leave Skill Speed alone and then highball Crit.

Crit = 0.250
Det = 0.332
Speed = 0.187

Build 1 is...
+176 Crit
+184 Det
+15 Speed

This equals approximately 107.893 effective DEX

Build 2 is...
+157 Crit
+164 Det
+70 Speed

This equals approximately 106.788 effective DEX

Now Build 1 has 1.105 DEX over Build 2. That's still less than a 1% advantage. That's still negligible.

Let's have a little more fun. What if I were to stack Skill Speed to its maximum while avoiding Determination? The theoretical least optimum build? These numbers are using Sauteed Coeurl

535 Acc
+188 Crit
+37 Det
+222 Speed

Ah, yes. These truly are the kinds of numbers that min maxers faint over. Let's see what it adds up to!

We get a total of 100.798 effective DEX. That's right. A mere 7.095 DEX less than the lauded BiS. Of course, this build would really have to worry about TP, but they aren't wanting for damage while there is TP in that bar.

So... I hope this makes it more clear just how little Secondary Stats truly matter. As long as you don't have wasted Accuracy, you'll have a set of stats that will be capable of doing any content no matter what gear you choose!
