Ninjas and skill speed

[Maero]

I try to avoid as much ss as i can due to Ninja burning tp rather quickly. The "fix" last time really did not do much, so hopefully this next patch the changes will be of notice

[Arkenne]

it should be quite notorious, given that Spinning Edge is present in almost all of our combos.

[DarkerOrange]

Almost all? Tell me more about these combos that don't start with Spinning Edge XD haha.

[Arkenne]

Mutilate :U!!

DwD looks very comboeske!!

Oh, btw, I was toying around with Ariyala... it seems like you can avoid Skill Speed ALTOGETHER, like in this one

Only bonus coming from a totally optional food O___o;;;
Question is... do 5 actions enter in the TA window with 345 Skill Speed?

I always try to have around 400 SS, I got my BiS right now with Nin. I know the post is more then a year old, but still this is the first thing u'll find searching for this answer xD

so well my stats with near BiS (Relic needs to get to 275, then it's BiS) are as follows:

Accuracy: 710 (Belt got a 9 Precision Mat, else u get 701, thats not enough for Zurvan, tho. U can take food too, but I want my food to stat my dmg up )
Crit: 1256
Det: 760
SS: 449 (due to Relic with 5 points in SS, u could go with 5 points in Acc, too, so u won't really have a problem with Zurvan at the end )

I have, with Huton, 2,09 GCD and it works pretty well. Every guide covering the Ninja, teaches u to be around 400 in SS, so try to reach that 2,09 GCD and u are golden

As others said too, Mutilate can be done after AE, because the time-window at the end of Blood for Blood is pretty "edgy" x'D. It's really one sec that decides, if u go with it or without, so try to reach 2,08 GCD or just do Mutilate later (or be that perfect guys that fits dat Mutilate into it like a pro )

My Gear:

Weapon: Sandungs (270) Crit: 139, Det: 133, SS: 5 (BiS = Sandungs (275))
Head: Alex (270) + 2x Crit+12
Body: Augmented Shire Emissary's Jacket (270) + 2x Crit+12
Hands: Alex (270) + 2x Crit+12
Belt: Augmented Shire Emmissary's Belt (270) + 1x Acc+9
Legs: Augmented Shire Emmissary's Hose (270) + 2x Det+12
Feet: Alex (270) + 2x Det+12
Ear: Alex (270) + 1x Crit+12
Neck: Alex (270) + 1x Det+12
Arm: Alex (270) + 1x Crit+12
Ring1: Augmented (270) + Det+12
Ring2: Non Augmented (260) + Det+12

Stuff

What? This is nonsense... Acc cap for Zurvan is 699 for a start. And I'm not quite sure what you are on about with the stuff about MU and BfB...With proper buff timing, you should easily refresh MU in every BfB window.

[Maero]

Fairly certain Ninja is like the other jobs in that either Crit> Skill Speed > determination is the order as determination has less of an effect?
400 or around there for Skill Speed sounds low at least to me, bellow 400 is even worst
I do not main Nin so i could be wrong

[DarkerOrange]

NIN is Crit>Det>SS, due to how SS interacts with mudras. 444 is where most NINs will be sitting this patch.

[Krindor]

Nin is Crit > Det > SS, the only reason to meld SS would be if you can reach a new SS tier with 1 additional meld. As for accuracy, it's 699. Ninja has no set requirement for SS and the only rule is that it's worth less than other stats.
