Suppanomimi worth it in EXP?

[Russta]

I set with a Bard always and have used two Melody Earring+1's since 52 but I'm now coming up to 72 I got to thinking about my Suppanomimi. I use it for tanking on Warrior regardless of whether there is a Bard or not as Warrior cannot rely on Evasion but how about for Ninja? Does anyone think it's worth losing Evasion Skill+6 for the sake of another 5% "haste" and AGI+2 because right now I don't.

What triggers the latent on the Melodies, just a song? I have a set of the NQ versions on my BST, but I just use them for the CHR. Would be cool if I could get the +evasion without a bard.

As for your question, I think I would rather have the "Dual wield enhancement" from the Suppanomimi in leiu of one of the earrings. Obviously you only sacrifice one, so you still have the +6 from the other, as well as your other evasion gear. Of course, I havent been in a high level PT as a Ninja (mines only 31) so I cant really say what a difference the +6 evasion skill would make.

yes it is worth it in my opinion. maybe it wouldn't be your style, i normally go with an aggressive build for exping.

erris +1 and suppanomimi are my favoured earrings for exping.

/edit: the latent is triggered by bard songs (to answer the guy above)

Russta, in my opinion it is. As you get higher up, and at your level im assuming your exping in sky, mobs wont miss really at all. That's why most ninja's switch to haste gear setup's along with phy dmg down setups. Those mob's wouldnt really miss me even though i had tons of agi and evasion. I'd say go with the supponimi earring. I still cant find a divine might party

this is a misconception. sky gods can be evaded just fine.

hes talking about xping. you should have no trouble evading at 72+ the only thing about sky is all the mobs have AEs that eat shadows or take multiples. and yes tanking with a suppopimi is retarded for gods
