Questions for NINs on floor 2 of Alexander. I was doing it last night and felt my DPS numbers kinda low (about 700 across all attempts) and feel that I should maybe be pulling more than that even if I'm just i170. Are other NINs AoEing for better numbers? I'm mostly sticking to single targeting high priority targets. Any advice would be appreciated.

Parsing low in Alex F2, should focus or AoE?

I've yet to try alex but, to me, NIN is very assassin-like, so sticking to priority targets might prove better imo, specially if there are other more AoE heavy DPS members already AoEing in the team. Tho if all that is around is nothing but trash on trash, then yea, AoE all the way.

I've never bothered getting Blood for Blood. How absolutely necessary is it that I get the skill?

At least you should have Invigorate so you shouldn't be that far from lvl 34 lancer for BfB... because you have Invigorate, right?

I basically focus on the most dangerous stuff to the tanks and let the AOE guys do their things. Sure, I might not have the DPS numbers they do, but if I'm why the Jagd Doll or Gobbiewalker is dead and not the tank, then that's what matters, no? That said, almost every ninjutsu is obviously Katon, and I will throw out the occassional Death Blossom if I have TP to spare. But there's no way you can maintain AOE the whole fight, so why try?

If you've got a friend on the vehicle thingy, just ask him to put 5 stacks of vulnerability on your target and watch your DPS increase like crazy :3
