I've seen a lot of players use "Haste" recasts on Utsusemi too save some time on the next recast. My question is..is it really worth it? Let me explain. Let's say you're fighting a real high level mob and you have your evasion gear on and while fighting your shadows go down or you want to recast. Now if you swap to haste gear (for the recast) you sacrifice a lot of evasion gear and obviously if the monster attacks during this it has a lot higher chance of hitting you (or wiping a shadow). Now if you know you could get a haste recast off then switch back to evasion gear before the mob attacks then it's obvious the haste recast is worth it. So what's your verdict? A lot higher chance of getting hit or losing a shadow with a faster recast versus a lot higher chance of evading (perhaps keeping a shadow) yet a bit longer on the recast.
No, Haste is useless for Ninja and a waste of MP for the RDM and gear slots a NIN could use for evasion. Thank you for setting us straight after 7 years of us doing it wrong. In only 6 months your insight has made an invaluable contribution to the community.
May I send gil to your player's delivery box? I feel as if I and the rest of the community are forever in your debt.
