Hi all, I am currently a NIN 80. When I hit 75 I basically stopped playing NIN and I have picked it back up recently to finish gearing it and meriting. I want to merit Ice/Thunder SAN spells to max I think?(I'd be open to suggestions from more experienced NINs if this plan is fail) as well as max hyoton/raiton effect. My reasoning behind those too is basically the tools are cheapest and most available out of all the ele wheel tools (LOL I know) but all I'm going to use them for is fun when I'm playing around anyhow. Problem is I leveled on level sync colibri pts and my ninjitsu skill is hovering around 230ish, is there any fast and/or cheap way to cap it? Thanks
4/4 Subtle Blow, then open San Spells. I'd wait on meriting Effect merits simply because I have no idea what the DMG increase to ninjutsu will be like. If it's decent enough dmg to use as a hate spam again, then w/e ... do then all, however, if it's still just a setup for like a pre-skillchain / Magicburst thing, you'd probably want to skill up Huton and Suiton sinply b/c it lowers resistance to ice and lightning, which would increase MB dmg.
My nin merits are:
4/4 Crit % +
4/4 enemy crit % -
8/8 Katana Skill
5/5 Subtle Blow
1 of each San spells
1 nin tool exp
1 sange (for the lulz)
I recently recapped mine and the best way to do it is to use AF1 head, af2+1 feet, ninjutsu earring (20-50k in ah) Stealth Earring, Astute cape (which i dont have) Ninjutsu Torque and spam ele wheel, I seem to have got a LOT mroe skillups off the Ni spells, I think mainly b/c they cast the fastest and did comparable damage to the san spells, and mobs dont resist those, they can only do 0 dmg. debuffs like hojo, aisha etc, can be resisted and you wont get skillups.
