My second post...
I was reading Bannable Offenses today, when I see a post made buy Hiroaki. upon further investigation, I discover he is in fact the same on I know on Odin. so we talk a little about the blogs and such. I decided to go on another adventure. Hoping this will be better than my last one.
I have leveled many jobs. My main is Red mage. However, as much as I love red mage (Hence forth referred to as RDM), it does some times get boring, especially at higher levels with a 27,000 experience to next level. so I decide to level Ninja some (Hence forth referred to as NIN)
Now, NIN is an interesting class. They hardly do any damage at low levels, they cant take more than 5 hits before dropping like a rock, their spells consume an item in your inventory, the items (tools) are freaking expensive.
The first thing that NIN gets that makes it shine a bit is Dual wield. While this doesn't help the NIN much, when people sub NIN, that is one of the things they look forward to using. The second thing, is a nice little spell called Utsusemi. This spell, that can be learned at level 12, has a 30 second recast time and sets up "shadows" that can absorb 3 attacks directed at you.
Impressive? Yeah, I thought so too. "NINs r teh ultimate tank, tey take no daamge!" someone said to me when I was a young level 22 RDM. "Cool! Get the NIN" I said... Then I start leveling the job...
First off, when I actually started to tank as NIN... Total anarchy. First off, I can't keep hate off nuke happy Black mages. Then we invite a monk, so while I'm getting off at most 15 damage with a critical hit on one of my weapons, the monk is hitting for 25 per punch without doing a critical.
One battle, the monk got 5 critical hits in a row and it took 3 provokes to get it off him...
Not to mention, that when I lose a shadow I lose some of the hate I have accumulated, making it even harder to keep hate.
You see, at first the no damage thing sounds cool. But then, you realize that shadows make tanking counter productive.
I currently stopped leveling NIN upon doing my first party in Kazham as it... Double attack eats up my shadows....
