Ninja: Heaven-Sword (And Beyond)

[CookieMonsta]

I'm not quite sure about that, the value of skill speed increases the longer the fight persists. Skill Speed on MNK is iffy a lot of MNKs prefer more SKS including myself. I wouldn't say its an abysmal stat for DRG either. NIN is different since it cuts into your mudras.

SKS is pretty abysmal on DRG. Beyond 750 its worse than diminishing returns, your GCDs start becoming misaligned with the CDs.

Great guide!! Really well written. Has helped me a lot in leveling my Ninja.

As low SkSp as possible. Lore wise, weapon first, body/legs 2nd and 3rd.

This is my currently gear set up : http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/TJWN

Thanks for posting Orange. I had been wondering if Ninja lore gear was any good as it is not the case with some jobs.
Currently i have lore weapon and chest, some accesories ( as i also use on Bard and machinist) and also some midan gear.

Also i though Ninja would benefit from SS does it not?
I mean obviously not a huge amount because tp issues still exist :/

Ninja does not benefit from SS all that much, due to GCD clipping from mudras and double weaving oGCDs, as well as serious TP issues. I'm at ~500 SS and I already have TP problems in long fights with no downtime like A7S.

Also, it is worth noting that this guide is rather out dated, and even the gdoc version is missing a fair bit, like openers, fight-specific strats, when to hold buffs etc.

Is Goad advised to (Mostly) "On request" incase someone dies, or it's just rude, while in a raid I can understand this, but if it's just dungeons, is it just rude to goad a fellow TP chewer for more AoE O.o?

"Dude, stop goading me!", said no one, ever.
