Weapon Skill setup for nin

[Starblaster]

I see screenshots of Jins in the 1000+ range and it blows me away, i've only broken 1k once. I average around 600 I think.
What do you all think of my setup?

weapon: u/u (working on perdu)
ranged: ungur
head: Ohat
body: Haub
neck: thunder gorget
earring: suppa and diabolos (or minuet if brd). working on brutal
hands: pallas
rings: flame x2
back: amemet +1
waist: potent belt
legs: byakko's haidate
feet: fuma (have an air tank, just need to get to movapolas)

i don't really see many flaws, except that i think i'm stacking too much acc. any opinions?

Honestly if your looking for higher :Jin numbers, I would use a Senji. Other than that, change your range to Bomb Core/Bomblet. I would also suggest Ninja AF+1 Hands (STR+6. DEX+6.) If you can't get those, then any of the Attack Kotes would be better than Pallas's.

[Starblaster]

oh right, forgot about af+1 hands, thanks

also, how do you feel about voyagers sallet?

I love my sallet on weaker mobs (All mobs in mire, Puks, etc.). For the higher evasive mobs I use OHat. Another decent option is the Shura Kabuto, but I can't comment on it because I don't have it

[Valyana]

Suppa and Fumas do nothing for your WS. I'll let actual NINs suggest alternatives, though

[Krenna]

my set up is:

Main: Fudo
Sub: Senjurinrikio (@Sergeant Major rank :/)
Ranged: Lightning Bow +1 (loltocheapforbomblet)
Head: Voyager Sallet
Neck: Peacock Charm (Spike necklace if no accuracy problems)
Ear: Triumph (Minuet too, but im mithra, /lowSTR;
Ear: Brutal
Body: Haubergeon +1
Hands: Ninja Tekko +1
Ring: Rajas
Ring: Flame
Back: Foragers
Waist: Warwolf
Legs: Byakkos
Feet: Rutter Sabotons

STR: +38 • +41 with spike • (+43) without spike but w/ food
DEX: +43 • +46 with spike • (+48) without spike but w/ food

Id def aim for tekko +1 and voyager, if your hurting for acc on your jin though (which I dont think you are) could use shura if your lazy on camping flies x;

Also, what do your current merits look like?

[Luken]

WS Gears:
Main - Senju
Off hand - Unji
Head = Shura
Body = Osode
Hands = Ninja Tekko +1
Legs = Byakko Haidate
Feet = Denali Gamashes
Earring 1 = Brutal
Earring 2 = Minuet
Ring 1 = Rajas
Ring 2 = Thunder
Neck = Chiv Chain
Back = Forager's Mantle
Waist = Warwolf Belt

STR - +43
DEX - +51

Im Elvaan, so in some slots, ive chosen DEX over STR. My jins top out at 1600 or so on exp mobs, usually in the 800-900 range w/o double attack procing.

I'm max out katana merits, 4 int merits(blm main), no nin specific merits at all. nin is just a merit job for me.

If you're U/U, you really can't expect a high WS average. If you want one, use Senj/Unji or Senj/Perdu. Other than that, get those Rutters, use a minuet/merman's instead of Suppa, Pallas suck use O-kote or Nin. Tekko +1 (whichever is easier for you to get), and don't use Ungur boomerang.

my set up is:

Main: Fudo

Other way around surely?

I'm always disturbed by some ninjas that do F/S instead of S/F (for those without unjis or perdus and whatnot) too...one more weapon damage isn't worth loosing 3% crit chance on three hits of a critical damage based WS imo >_>;;

Personally I use a Warwolf belt instead of Potent, I tend to eat sushi in merit, so accuracy on WS usually isn't an issue. Ohat/Haub/gorget is usually enough accuracy when you're eating sushi (especially if you have katana merits), so Warwolf really helps the mods on Jin.

Rutters are nice for Jin too, unless you're a hume, in which case I'm fairly sure Marine boots beat out Rutters.

Everything else everyone's already touched on

[Judai]

u/u = speed
s/w/e = high damage

the 1k Jins are from Senji and crits. Choose a style and work with it. If you want high damage epeen shots, don't use u/u.

f/s is lol btw

[Kimitsu]

Why would a ninja use pallas for weapon skill?...

[draxyl]

-Dex is highly desirable?

I use nin af+1 hands if I'm getting minuet, bando kotes if I'm not. By and large, I don't notice much difference between the two, but I don't parse them against each other. I've pretty much just gone w/ bando's 100% of the time now due to laziness. IMO, stick to using O-hat on xp mobs and keep 1 accuracy ring on, for WS.

[levish]

weapon: Fudo/Senj
ranged: Bomb Core
head: Voyager
body: Haub
neck: Spike
earring: Minuet/Spike
hands: O.Kotes
ring1: Rajas
ring2: flame
back: amemet +1
waist: Warwolf
Legs: Byakko's haidate - Shura if you have them would be nice to try out too
feet: Rutter

If you want big numbers a cor for rogues roll (with thf in pt) and double minuet will make the difference, this is assuming you are eating Sole Sushi

The 1300-1600 jins are Crit'd or Double Attacked'd or both with bard songs on afaik.

I don't have U/U but I believe that the stats on them should be able to make up for the lower base damage on them in WS at least, I don't know about DOT. In one of the updates SE mentioned that the based damage would be calculated differently for some weapons and U/U was part of that list so /shrug.

[Sendra]

Too many F/S @@;;

[Carnusty]

Why do soo many people think F/S is a good idea urrgrggrlgkjnbahbkbgngbjfdvnigigwjg0ww435363461ghd tjtryw

[Minions]

If I had a nickel for every nin I checked w/ the senji off hand....

Seriously I thought it was known, but there are tons of people I see exping with katana's in the wrong order v_v;

The weapon itself says "Critical Hit Rate +6%" that said, it could apply to both weapons, and you would want to main hand the higher base DMG one. When you merit Critical Hit Rate, it says increase critical hit rate by 1 percent. Would that apply to main hand weapon only?
edit: personally I use senji/shiranui, but that's because I'm lazy.

[sleekmotorwurkz]

Senji / Perdu
Bomb core
Pal. Head
Breeze Gorget
Brutal / Minuet
Osode - wouldnt recommend this without maxed katana merits use haub if not
Nin Tekko +1
Flame/Rajas
Amemet+1
Warwolf Belt
B. Haidate
Rutter Sabatons

and lolsenji offhand
