New Ninja Ability: Sange (Translation)

[Sabaron]

Sange from Jeffrey's J/E Dictionary

sange (n,vs) falling as flowers do; dying a glorious death

sange (n,vs) (Buddh) repentance; confession; penitence

There is something lost in the textual romaji translation--perhaps by intent of SE?

More than likely the first one though (interesting to think about what the second one would indicate), but they probably would've used zange to refer to the second one.

sange = uses utsu shadows to do a ranged attack

Re: New Ninja Ability: Sange (Translation)

Uses shurikens and wipes your current shadows. Apparently DMG will correspond with how many shadows you have up. I've seen people say it uses up to 5 shurikens at once with 40TP return. 400-1kish dmg on lesser colibri.
15minute recast with the first unlocking merit. 2:30 taken off time with the next merit.. and so on i'd imagine.
Can't wait to hear what people report while in XP parties.

I have yet to unlock this. Sounds like great fun.

It sounds like a throwing version of the RNGs Barrage but possibly more accurate or something.

It's a way to put the last 1-2 shadows to use?

will make tanking a lil more exciting if you're using Ni's to do dmg and relying on Ichi

Re: New Ninja Ability: Sange (Translation)

are the hits guarenteed? if so sacrificing shadows for guarenteed hits seems sorta worthwhile

Re: New Ninja Ability: Sange (Translation)

The kanji given in the JP FFXI for Sange is 散華, given above as dying a glorious death or falling as flowers do. It sounds to me like your shadows are the ones dying a glorious death.

Re: New Ninja Ability: Sange (Translation)

Unless you're DD'ing and not tanking I can't see this as being useful for anything other than a killing blow. Any efficiency gained from the mob dying faster is going to be negated by healing/MP downtime if you end up eating a face full of fist when all your shadows go bye bye.

Since 75 parties are most often TP burn, NINs don't tank anyway... what happens when you're killing faster than a 30second provoke recast timer

Yep, in which case the Nin will be full DD build and probably not wasting time macroing in ranged gear for a 15 min (?) reuse ability. I'm a little rusty on this but won't macroing between say a Bomb Core and Shuriken clear your TP?

I don't have this yet, but comparing it to Tomahawk with wars, it does not clear TP switching from the axes to core and back. I can only assume at this point it will be same for nin.

And yea its 15minute recast after you unlock it. 2:30 off for next 5 upgrades (6 merits total)

Re: New Ninja Ability: Sange (Translation)

I haven't seen it yet, but it had to potential to look rly cool. But still where the fuck is our Jubaku: Ni?

Well i got it, its not very cool looking... just like a basic Barrage animation i think, then you do /range and it does the damage.

haven't done much testing on the ability, every 15min recast... i got other things to do lol.
