Elemental Ninjutsu

[Leroy]

What's the highest you can get ele ninjutsu up to? I saw a guy outside in wajaom hitting 200 on the ele wheel, and I've been looking for a way to blow time, so I thought I'd play Ninja mage for fun.

It'd be greatly appreciated if anyone could direct me to where I can get a damage formula for them.

Dicking around in BC99 like 2 years ago I was 75NIN/17BLM With NQ staves. Chelvnikk or whatever was taking 90-115 from Ice/Thunder. Resisted the rest mostly. I wasn't wearing anything fancy besides the staves. No INT gear really.

Using my patented BeeMark 2007 (Bastok Edition) I was doing 255 as NIN/BLM on Giant Bees with Hyoton: Ni. It would probably be 200ish on mobs 65 levels higher or so.

The spells all have the same base damage, and get either one or two more damage per increase in INT. I'll see if I can figure it out in a few minutes.

edit: Some numbers...
Evilpaul NIN75/BST20 (sub doesn't matter, but /BST doesn't give MAB+20/24 to throw things off)
Hyoton, Suiton, Raiton: Ni on Huge Hornets naked during Lightsday (60 INT): 132, 132, 132
With a Phantom Earring on (61 INT): 133, 133, 133
With Phantom Tathlum (62 INT): 134, 134, 134
Osode + Earring + Tathlum (73 INT): 145, 145, 72 ( 145 on a second casting)

So they appear to have a base damage of 72, and gain 1 damage per 1 INT added.

I don't have any :San spells unlocked, so I'm not sure what their base is or how much 1 INT adds to damage. (Hopefully 2?) There's probably a ton of threads out there about them as the Group 2 merits aren't that old.
