ninja's end game gear?

[ntgn]

I was browsing end game gear for ninja and there are some slots that have several options.
Feet:
Arhat's Sune-Ate +1
* Evasion +5
* Enmity +2
Dance Shoes (+1)
* Vitality -2(-3)
* Charisma +3(+4)
* Evasion +6(+7)
Rasetsu Sune-Ate +1
* Attack +6
* Evasion +6
* Counter +1
Let's ignore the lvl requirement and just look at the stats. As you can see I dont consider Fuma boots since I dont think 3% haste makes such a big difference unless you' can afford all other haste gears.
IMO Dance shoes +1 would be a winner but its too rare to a hand on it so the choice would be between 2 sune-ates. Rasetsu is surely better for tanking + doing dmg on smaller HNMs. But what will be better for HNM tanking? Will the enmity +2 on arhat's be more important than the +1 eva and + 23def on rasetsu?

Please post your opinions / experience ^^ I'd love to discuss other slots too.

it all depends on what kind of gear setup, some ninjas go full evasion, some go full haste, either way you're going to want hate+ to macro though. :spin:

As far as the haste goes I use macros to get the most out of haste gear when casting Utsusemi and then switching back.

I use byakko haidatai and fumans and then macro in quick belt and panzer mask. All together its 6 seconds off casting time. Which is not bad. Quick belt is a very good buy if used like this. Its only a 2 second difference in casting time compared to speed belt and there is no sprite loading like the panzer mask when you change in combat.

Dont know why more ninja's with speed belt dont do this? Then again maybe they just wanna show off the belt

[Tifa]

probably because 6% faster attacking will do more dmg over time than a lifebelt or another piece of gear there

fuma sune-ate are great for everything, i think the only time i wear something else is for a pure +enmity build (ie arhats +1)

[Melkor]

Yeah, Fuma Sune-Ate are great, much better than the other choices I think, I used them before I hit 75 when I had Byakko's Haidate too. With the pants they are very even better.

If you don't want those, I guess Rasetsu Sune-Ate are fine, I kept mine for awhile after I got my Fuma's but never used them so I just sold them.

i love my fuma sune-ate :D sticked with byakko's haidate, speed/quick belt and dusk gloves (dusk gloves aren't worth it everytime, just for some specific purposes) they work great
