THE NUMBERS
Flamingo Tulia 110 average shot 780 Slug Average
Grounds keeper 91 Shot 600 Slug T
Genbu 50 Shot N/A slug <--I averaged this with 27 rng sub
Aura Golem 90 Shot 600 Slug

With Manji Shuriken I can average 100 on any god HNM but no WS. I personally like using gun/shuriken, it is a very nice break from tanking and it is one of the combos that I use to prove that ninja can do alot more things well. My next combo is NIN/BLM but i refuse to continue it until i get my af2

Keep us posted mits, its nice to see people experimenting. And a break from tanking would always be nice. :p

It's a shame nin can't use any really high level gun at all.

Sure, a NIN/RNG can work great but it's also very expensive you can also go NIN/BLM, max out on INT gear w/ all elemental staffs and do great damage as well...

rng/nin is still best;; you have the end gear for rng already why not lvl it up it wil be very rewarding personally and for you and your LS if you decide to. i know i started rng because sitting out at fafnir is not fun =(. just got it 75 a few days a ago and feesl great. plus they own kirin and kite fights hands down, kiting isn't exactly as fun as kiting and damage.

what i did do at nidhogg once was spam shurikens with 2x mermans wing sword on main hand archers on 2nd hand and all the acc gear you can imagine with double prelude. stood next to the paladins and spammed manji's until 300 tp, switch to all my hp gear and spirits within for 730ish. then back to spamming. did enuff damage to take hate from the paladins and then tanked it a little.

with regards to NIN af2 koga hatsuburi (head part) with enhances ninjutsu damage...i got that as my 3rd nin af2 (3/5 pieces so far) and it was rather disappointing. tired it on a too weak, huton:ni w/o did 160ish huton: ni w/ af2 did 130ish. was hoping for a greater increase in damage..but that wouldjust overpower a ninja.

I never cared for rng main job because you can be rich and woefully lacking in the skill department and get 75
Being able to sub ranger as a ninja in your 60s and dish out some big numbers with slugshot is a nice reward for all that time and energy devoted to leveling what is considered by many a tank job. At the risk of drawing flames from the rangers, leveling ninja is more demanding in terms of concentration and timing compared to leveling rng job.

I can't convince anyone that nin/rng is a completely different and more personally rewarding experience compared to rng/nin in a number of situations.
Rng sub adds a new way to play ninja job once you pass 60. Even if you only sub rng to help people with AFs, occasional solo or use it for some occasional HNM its not something to pass up - its a nice break from the blinktank monotony.

Ninjas will always look better than rangers too :spin:

[Les]

hmm, endgame ninja will look exactly the same as endgame ranger ww since both will be in semi to full god gear, except rangers get special yellow boots and a cool looking axe. please, you make it sound as if it takes absolutely no skill to reach 75 on ranger as supposed to any other job? i don't see your logic here.

i consider both ninja and ranger my main jobs atm, and lvling ranger is not as bad as it sounds, or rather as brainless as u make it seem....making gil takes brain my dear^^. Lvled ninja for the first time to help a few LS mates lvl up in a almost 2 months, have to say rng exp is much more exciting especially when the exp mobs don't even last thru 2 blinks sometimes even one. Provoke, debuff, blink. dead. slug shot barrage slug shot and run away for dear life is more fun =P.

Every class takes skill to get to 75. You need almost every job to be efficient to lvl 70+ because each level requires so much xp. If you have one bad player it really slows down the xp by alot.

Every class does not take skill to get to 75. It depends on the value of each job to the Party's setup. WHM, BLM, RDM, BRD, PLD just the few I think that doesn't require skill. Party's will always be willing to slow down the XP since it takes so long to set up a party. However, there are those that will boot the bad player and look for a better one. I can say that I have seen a 70+ PLD that had no skill whatsoever. He had on a +atk shield, only used provoke + flash. He didn't heal himself, and saved his MP to cast Holy when Light renkei was done. I assume he was able to lvl to 70+ by the lack of PLD's around his lvl. Our PT didn't disband, but our XP was slower than what the best PT can do.

WHM, BLM, RDM, BRD, PLD doesn't require skill to play? as compared to ninja? you have your head up in the clouds for too long its sad. give me a break please, i'm a lvl 75 ninja and ranger i wouldn't make a point ever about how other jobs require no skill to play. plesae have some respect for others at least, you have no ground to say what you just said.

Sorry either you are one arrogant person or you have no idea how other classes work at all. Maybe when you get higher lvl you will know what we mean.
