The Ninja Superthread

[Best-MNK-NA]

Oh thank you. How much dps do you do with yours roughly?

Not sure how much dps my opener itself does, but I do roughly 575 over 3-4 min, but dps is way more based on your gear than your opener (though opener makes a big difference). For reference, I'm i120 with the i130 weapon (my current gear is http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/P4T7 ).

@Firana: Good guide, though the music is too loud compared to your voice and the whole thing is very quiet. Also, when discussing when to use Dancing Edge you say something like "...or if the Warrior's about to use Storm's Eye then use Dancing Edge" where you obviously meant Storm's Path. Your ninjutsu pronunciations aren't great but I won't hold that against you :P One useful trick for Perfect Dodge is to use it to dodge Iron Chariot in phase 1 of T9 and just stick on the boss dpsing through that (can also use in phase 4 but people like to yell at me if I stay on the boss during supernovas, good for dives+chariot though). Can you dodge the divebombs in T13? I haven't had the guts to try.

Your opener will only make a difference on your DPS for the first 2 minutes of a parse to be honest. After 3-4 minutes, your average DPS will stabilise, no matter what your opening burst is.

You dodge the damage but still get knocked back, not worth the risk.

Hey guys, so I kinda went and made a little video guide to Ninja.

Hope it helps somebody.

This is my Ninja guide, it's pretty rushed and I'm kinda ill, but it covers the basics.

Good job on the guide. I have been using Mutilate after Shadow Fang on my opener. I might apply it where you have this evening and see what happens.

A fellow Brit! Nice video Firana.

How useful is SS as a stat? Should i try and have as little as possible? Is 447 too high?

[Butcherboy]

Well I actually learned something from that video firana posted. I didn't huton is like mnk GL3. I thought what huton does is increase animation speed off all types and auto attack as well. Thank you for that.
