Different NIN Builds

Lol you even beat my edit xD

But what if subtle blow is already capped with Myoshu and stuff?
Thanks :)

Use Hope if you're getting Auspice or using Myoshu, but seriously you should use Rancor D;

28% haste
DW capped if Koga is 5%

Hope -> Rancor
Legs -> Byakko(augmented with Crit damage and STP)

If no good Byakko
Feet -> Usukane

Idk why you would even suggest using both pieces of Iga in those slots anymore.

just examples, im not going to do hard math w/o knowing koga

Koga has nothing to do with using both Iga pieces. Nemesio is correct.

This is the stuff I was using at Lv.90. I'm sure there are more upgrades to this by now, but I haven't played in over 6 months. The gear I used wasn't all top of the line, but followed the general cookiecutter ninja. Just throwing this out there.

Blade Hi:


Evasion:


Ninjutsu:

Add in some INT/mab where needed depending on type.

Kannagi/Kikoku was mildly interesting a few weeks back when we found out relic attack works offhand on the test server, but I'm not sure anymore... especially given the limited supply of plates.

And where did this "DW capped" ***come from anyway? I keep seeing people mention it but I have never seen evidence suggesting DW caps at 50%.

I dunno, i just "know" that
Suppa
Iga head+2
Body af1
Ninja traits

is cap.
and the iga earring is 1% DW and Suppa is 5%... and so on
I really care less about the super math.


Only thing not making me wear that is every, EVERY voidwatch is strait out AoE and 10% damage taken is not in the cards.
Whats 2nd best, Hope/Iga/Assyea or w/e that acc/att/SB+

I don't see why people complain about rancor, get a pdt or mdt set or throw on eva set so it swaps it out to torero

Well it's part of a "melee build"
Some monsters have insta cast, aoe hits like giants or the harpies.

Things you can not prevent.
and inb4 "dont be in there"
It's almost always katana HQ, iono why for me.....

So you know nothing. Next!

They've got this nifty thing called macros now.

80% is delay reduction cap. Also, haste + dual wield isn't additive.

Just a quick question. Would Mextli Harness be considered a decent replacement for Ninja Chainmail? At least til Koga Chainmail +2 is released. It's only 3% dual wield, but the acc/katana skill on it I figured would make up for that.

If you're using the acc then of course.


Badly enough to say you're doing it wrong.

What are you fighting where you're having accuracy troubles, lol?

AF2(+1) head is also worth considering for elemental ninjutsu. AF1 is good for debuffs and such

Did Koga body +2 get tested enough to figure out the DW%?

Dual Wield doesn't cap at 50%

However, it does count towards the cap of delay reduction, which means if you're getting double marches and haste, you can swap out some haste and/or dual wield equipment and maintain capped delay reduction. (most notably AF+1 body > AF3+2 body) along with one or two other things like dusk+1 > bandos.

The exact value of delay reduction escapes my memory, and I'm at work so don't have access to all my bookmarks. I do know for certain that you need at least 1 march to push you over the cap. 99% of the time I don't have a brd with me, so 99% of the time I use my full haste/dw build.

(Koga+1 at night)


If you don't have Usukane feet, I'd use Byakkos with STP augment. Usukane feet shave 2 hits off 0-100TP for me, so Byakkos with STP should save you at least 1 hit.

Byakko's for tp instead of Iga pants +2?

with crit+ dmg and/or stp on them, they're going to add more damage than 2% haste if you're sitting on 28% overall.

26% haste is the absolute cap for equipment haste, so using more is completely pointless.


This is assuming head +2, 4% gloves (koga/dusk+1), twilight belt, kyahan +2 in other slots.

Augmented Byakkos are alot more accessible for some people than Usukane feet.


Edit: I should clarify, 25% is the absolute cap, but you need 26% in equipment haste to hit the 25% hard cap because of the way haste is rounded. (256/1024 is the actual cap, but 25% equipment only gives 250/1024)

i do
haste5%/dex+15/crit+4%/stp+3 is nice



havent decided on my neck yet, been playing wih locking rancor in for aftermath vs full timing it and using hope torque with no aftermath

I like this Shred guy

how many tonberrys do you have to kill to cap hate? ballpark number as I'm sure it's not exact

I read it was 200 somewhere. Take it with a grain of salt.

I believe it's to the point where the "hate cleanser" charges you 6k.

Dtroyy also told me another way to figure out how to tell hate cap. I just feel stupid for not thinking of it sooner. Take a 1000 needles. It does 1100 needles lol capped.

@Shred:
Thanks for sharing that. It didn't even occur to me to use Dusk +1 and augmented Byakko's.
