Learning How To Be A Ninja

[JinnRemona]

dont worry so much with being the greatest right away. just do what you can. as you play the job more, you will notice yourself improving. if you ever see me on siren feel free to talk to me, I'll help anyway i can.

Trying to find you online so I can have someone personally show me the ropes. Can't seem to find out with Player Search though. I'm using an alt though, so if you are online, send a friend request to Derris Kharlan. That's the character that I'm a Ninja on. I'll leave her online for the next day or two so you can send it whenever you are online.

Also, most of the recent posts have gotten to a point I can no longer follow along.

Welcome to the forums, where things spin wildly out of control by the time you reach page 2 lol.

^^; sorry we kinda hijacked your topic. Eventually these things will make sense to you as they are relevant to end game content and maximizing your dmg rotation.

Xenon - Thanks for checking the numbers. Even though the numbers were infact lower, I am happy to see they are still infact high, even if not optimal. No need to video it or anything, I appreciate you checking it personally.

I'll keep an eye open, my work schedule is a bit sporadic, so I can't give you a definitive time frame but I will look for you and your alt.

There's one thing I'm having slighty difficulty adjusting to as a Ninja, mainly in big 8 or 24 Player Raids. I was doing the three Raids for the Crystal Tower raid, and I would always get lost in all the hussle and bustle of what the boss was doing, and what everyone else was doing. Mainly because it feels like the camera isn't as far back as I wish it was as a Melee. I'm so used to being a Bard, staying back a ways, and being able to see a good chunk of the battlefield, and reacting as I need to. Alot harder to do as a Ninja, as my Camera shows alot less when I'm right beside the boss within Melee distance. For the first time as well, I'm feeling like my HUD is getting in the way and making it harder to see stuff. Never had this thought as a Bard, but it's always on my mind as a Ninja, when in these raids. Any suggestions?

1. Zoom all the way out and tweak with your UI, with default keybind, you can resize them in ui config with ctrl+home
2. Practice until you can do the rotation in your sleep, so you can pay more attention to the battle instead of keeping track of rotations/CDs
3. The opposite happens for me, as a melee main, when I try to do smn and mch I get very lost for a while before brain clicks in. It could help to research and understand the fights/roles more so you are more comfortable and won't be caught by panic

Do you focus target? It won't help when it comes to massive mob fests of people and adds, but for the bosses, it's very helpful. Especially when you are running around for mechanics and need to see something coming. As a melee, I still zoom out all the way. As a tank, I often go near walls, so the zoom is a pain sometimes. Just gotta find the right angle. And in raids, I get rid of the alliance bar. Seeing what the other 2 alliances hp bars are really doesn't help me. The only time I think it could be useful is as a healer if one alliance loses both their healers, you'd know to act on it. But as a tank or DPS, I haven't really seen a need for it. It just bogs up my screen imo. I know many of my friends have also cleared out some or moved a lot of the HUD around as well. I personally haven't, but I can definitely see where it'd be useful. But I'm also on PS4.

Yes, if you can't hit any positional, then Dancing Edge is higher potency than Aeolian or Armor Crush.
