Mithra NIN

[DieselBoy09]

I was wondering.. would a NIN mithra be ideal for evasion or should I use a hume to get a slightly greater attack?

Personally I think the difference race makes is negligible. That stupid Bradygames book makes it seem like you can really screw yourself over if you pick the wrong race for your job but it really doesnt matter too much. I say pick whichever one you wont mind looking at for endless hours on end. Also, word of warning. The female AF legs look horrible ><

Tarutaru :spin:

There isn't any room of competition. Tarutaru > you.

yea youll probably soon find out after playing for a while that race doesnt make all the much difference in the long run. equipment,. food and smart play can make up for a lot imo.

You will find 90% of NINJA are hume becuase of balance of every stat ninja uses but It does not matter. The only problem is if you fight Maat as a Tarutaru you will have problems with his Mijin Gakure considering you will only have like 800-900 HP compared to the 1200 a Elvaan or Hume has.

That is the only difference between them.

Race doesn't really matter for ninja, pick whatever you like - its all about skill and gear.
I see lots of taru/hume/elvaan ninjas actually - rarely see mithra ninja, a lot of mithra are thf or rng it seems. I dont feel like a cookie-cutter ninja in terms of race choice on my server.

I wanted to be hume once, but I like how my mithra's ears twitch before I attack^^

You know...now that you bring that up, its true that Mithra Ninja are actually really really rare. Thats pretty odd, I figured there'd be more.

You know, in a game where you can change your character's job at any time, no one should have to be forced to play only a handful of classes because they're "Race is better suited for it" Where's the fun in that? Our Job/Sub combo's are already limited with each job, we can at least have fun with our races.

Although its true some races seem better suited towards certain jobs more than others a bit. Like Tarutaru's with Summoner, or Galka and Elvaans with Monks. But that doesn't mean the other's can't bring something to the job that help them excel.

Ninja's a pretty evenly distributed job though. Melee attack, Ranged attacks, support magic (Hey, it is a form of magic), tanking potential and a bit of damage dealer potential, and there isn't really a stat that tends to be completely ignored like with some other jobs. Str, Dex, Agi, Vit, and maybe even Int contribute in some way so each race seems to bring something to this job.
Hume's are almost perfect perfect Ninja material, because equal Stat distrubution I agree seems to help this job a lot. Mithra are accurate and can dodge anything, Galka have some attack with some dex and can afford to take a lot more hits than other races (So they're safer maybe?), Elvaan have that insane str to hold hate better with regular melee, and just do great damage in general. And finally the Tarutaru are fast as hell, with decent accuracy (and they're enfeebling Ninjutsu may be harder to resist than the other's because of their Int. I say may because I've heard from many sources that Taru Int very slightly increases the potency of Enfeebling Ninjutsu, and maybe Elemental Ninjutsu though that would be a little too subtle. One of the few times I partied with another Ninja, who was an Elvaan we both used Enfeebling Ninjutsu at a capped level. My Ninjutsu was resisted a hell of a lot less than his at the time. I don't know 100% for sure though, although it makes sense. But I won't count it as solid fact yet)

So......Hume's have a big bag of tricks, Galka and Elvaan excel at returning damage and are tougher, and Mithra and Tarutaru have stronger evasion, parrying, and accuracy/raac. I think more than any other melee job, every job really seems to add some equally relevant contribution to this job.
