The Ninja Superthread

What they are saying is that all the parses in that screenshot on are on the same (the poster's) connection. So that post doesn't display the variance that can occur because of lag in and of itself.

Sorry, yea this is what I meant when you take into account how short the parses were.
But I guess it does show some part of it.
It's just not a full test with just a few short interval entries by one guy just using WTFast.

It means something, and I don't even dispute the results. Just the methodology isn't enough to be conclusive.

im really starting to wonder if anyone even knows how to read that graph, there is literally nothing in the thread nor the pic that shows any changing in connection over the course of the tests, so everything your all arguing about is completely invalid.

The picture shows the effect of ping on NIN's damage in increments of 10 ping. The top parse being 180 ping, while the bottom being 90. There is nothing invalid about the thread, if you took the time to read it you would be able to discern the information that I just posted.

Mudra lag will probably be the main reason I start playing Machinist. I like the way a Ninja plays and the way combat flows with it, but losing a big chunk of dps because of something you can't control and is inconsistent really is annoying.

My issue with NIN in one sentence.

Lol same here. I took my nun when it first came out then I realize I dislike rabbits.

I dont know why Im laughing so hard...
Just kind of pictured a nun doing all the ninja stuff and throwing bunnies around.

Something like this:

EDIT:

Info from patch notes:

[3.0] New job actions have been added.

Ninja
Level Action
52 Smoke Screen
54 Armor Crush
56 Shadewalker
58 Duality
60 Dream Within a Dream

---------------------------------

[2.0] In accordance with the raise in level cap, the following job actions and parameters have been adjusted.

Ninja

Shade Shift (Perfect Dodge)
Aeolian Edge

---------------------------------


So, I guess Shade Shift is related to Shadewalker but it implies these are 2.0 adjustments.
They label them by 2.0 and 3.0 depending on the content it affects.
Only thing I can think of is they added an ability or trait into 1-50.

Still no potencies or anything about the positionals unless that's what they added to Aeolian Edge.

Shade shift is perfect dodge

Yea, I just came back to correct it.
