Not really. /BLM really is a viable sub option for NIN at the 40-50 range. It does quite nicely given that you have the gil and tools to keep up the ninjutsu spam.

/BLM is idiotic. /RDM is identical, with Fast Cast on top of it.
People will still frown at nin/rdm. However, their doubts will go away to let their idiocy shine when you start outdamaging mnk/wars and they have to eat their words.
<3 nin/rdm
Had one that I used to do UO with, I'd tigerkite on Bst, he'd burn the eyes down with Ni wheel spam, he'd have the small eyes dead by the time I got back up.
Lol...
@40-50, with capped ninjutsu, you can get away with tanking as /BLM on NIN with the elemental wheel, as I've done it and it works flawlessly. Never tried /RDM tanking at that level, but I'm sure it'd be just as good. I hope you're a NIN and not just some idiot talking out of his ass :/
Yup, you're trading one Eseal nuke per Eseal timer and a point or two of Int for Fast Cast 1.
Did any of you morons even read what I said?
There's no reason to sub Black Mage when Red Mage is clearly better for what's being suggested.
If any of this is applicable to you, you're likely taking Ninja to 75, and if that's the case, you'll need /RDM available to you anyway.
I used /rdm maybe a dozen times pre /dnc and one time post /dnc. It's not really a must have sub unless your LS does a bunch of Khims (or JoL? Never tried it)
Ixion?
I've never bothered with a NIN tank on it, but I guess. Only time I ever tanked Ixion I was NIN/RNG for 10ish minutes.
Doesn't /Drk work fine for pony?
No stun procs generally gives /rdm the advantage.
Only tanked DI as nin once and it was /drk. With the amount of mobility necessary for the fight, I liked the higher ce/ve from stun on a longer timer. I could see having problems keeping up with hate due to many lower ce/ve hate tools, but player preference likely beats out any logistical complications with either sub. I personally prefer nin/drk for any fight that lasts longer than 5min, mostly because im stuck in '05. Anyone wanna buy some GM stock, or some bundled sub prime mortgages? I have it on good authority the prioce can ONLY go up.
