    I'm moving towards Determination (considering it has been buffed) and Skill Speed (since Crit took a dump). I'm only NIN Lv60, though (used to be my main in ARR and early HW) I guess Crit is still viable on jobs that require a crit for procs, like BRD. I don't know; I never always followed the community rules (I never wore STR accessories on my tanks).

    Heres the thing, Ninja gets Ninki gauge points pretty much only off Auto Attacks (and Mug, which is a 90 second ability) which are effected by skill speed, so it might be worth using Skill Speed Materia on Ninja more than other jobs!

    Skillspeed boosts the *damage* of autoattacks, not the speed. The damage has no benefit to the ninki gauge.

    Skillspeed is still a bad stat for Ninja, unfortunately. I was kinda excited to see an interesting stat interaction on a job, but alas...

    Skill speed now also affects auto-attacks.

    It affects the damage of auto attacks, not the speed of them, the same way it does with DoTs.

    Skill speed affects the damage your autos do, not the speed. Skill speed will not make your kenki generate any faster.

    The only mêlee class which could get something out of skill speed might be Monk. I think. Wonder what will Ninja be all about then
