Is ninja useful for bcnmXX?

[Mithrankittycat]

Would a ninja, assumed to have good equipment/tactics/behavior, be used in a bcnm fight?
I've been wondering and asking if utsusemi-blink blocks giddeus bcnm40 black-mandragora flood.
If not, I'll go suicide run giddeus bcnm50 for worthless latent effect JSE rings =._.=

An extra nin/war tank wouldn't hurt along with some nasty debuffs.

BCNM40

I have done about 50 or 60 BCNM 40s about now, and in our L.S. Ninja or someone who can blink is like one of our winning tools. The blink will block out the flood and the good news is, since flood takes like forever to cast even using blink 1 will beat its casting time if you just finished using 2.

Alternating blinks will also help conserve your healers mp. Also the mandragoas are weak v.s. all types of elemental magics so just cast the 2 versions of the elemental spells for attack purposes to up the rate of killing. On the white mandragoras I can get up to 80 pts of damage each casting. It also lets you join in your own renkeis for more damage, up to 100 or so.

So in short, Ninjas are damned useful for BCNM 40s as far as I can tell. Don't know about 50s yet though. Haven't tried.
