Wal-mart PLD Setup

[isladar]

If I can derail a bit, I've been tossing around the idea of leveling either PLD or NIN based on the very important factors of my character model would look really hot as either job. Even though Elvaan F PLD would be pantpantboner, I already have Byakko's and Suppa from WAR, and I'm not sure how well I could trick out PLD since I'm not in Dynamis or Limbus (though the latter is an option).

That being said, could someone provide an equivalent list of 75 equipment and merits for NIN, keeping in mind that it'd be my 3rd job and combat is spoken for?

Pick your sub depending on the party imo, if you get lucky and have DD's with dmg mitigation, thinking utsusemi or third eye, go with whatever does most dmg, if your party are a bit squishier you might prefer /war. I've taken my PLD to 44 so far, haven't used /nin yet but I've been in a couple of parties where it would have been good.

Didn't you get lolMbody back when it was 25 like nearly a year ago?
lol

I got it before I'd even unlocked PLD, back when m.body was still loved and cherished by many.

lol, shame you didn't get to use it when it was still a good tanking piece

It was never a good tanking piece!
I think what you mean is when it was considered a good tanking piece.

Not gonna give any lists, but NIN will be easier to pimp out gear-wise if you don't do dyna or limbus.

plus, you already have haidate, might as well level another job that can use it.

That's what's weighing my decision towards NIN. That and I already have three Elvaan M in the Valor Surcoat Boys Choir.

Nokizaru Shuriken, Bomb core
Walhara Turban, Arhat's Jinpachi +1
Harmonia's Torque
Haubergeon, Arhat's Gi +1
Eris earrings, Suppa, Brutal
Dusk Gloves, Yasha Tekko, Alky or NIN AF1 +1 for WS
Jelly ring, Mermaid ring, BQ ring, ACC rings
Resentment Cape, HBMs
Swift belt, Warwolf, maybe Potent for WS
Haidate, Yasha or Arhat's Hakama +1
Fume sune-ate, Yasha sune-ate

Nothing important for NIN specific merits, subtle blow I guess. Enmity increase +4, crit hit +4, HP/MP +4 if they do not conflict with your other jobs.

NIN's really easy to gear up to a functional level as long as you have B. Haidate and /war and /drk leveled.

Thank you very much -- looks like the tanking setup I have for SAM will translate nicely, and minus a few emnity-specific accessories, I'm gold. Now I just have to think up a lot of Naruto macros.

I've seen those. Very scary stuff. Just don't forget your <call1> in your PLEASE HEAL ME I'M USING UTSUSEMI!!!1 macro.

But yeah.... I play the long haired female elf (white hair though), and I can tell you now, not only is NIN an amazingly fun job, I make it look pretty damned sexy.
