nin/sam at 60

[TokeN]

wouldnt this totally kick ass? Fast hits and the TP gain would be insane. Im not sure and don't know much about ninja so tell me if this has been posted here or something..??

[SilverMatrix]

Thats exactly what im going to do, its like saying DRG60/SAM30 yea know? I believe this would be a totally kick ass J/SJ because of the the fact they both use katana's (That Own ) Fast TP + Im a lil Gangsta Taru so thats a +. Awesome Agi + TP. oo oh yea im all over that shit

It honestly sounds like a very fun and incredibly cool combination. Supposedly though, and I know a little from personal experience that Ninja WS's don't tend to be heavilly damage orientated, but are rather heavilly elemental effect centered. Maybe if you lower Elemental strength to the element of the WS you choose, depending on enemy weakness it could be interesting. Its not used very often though so I don't know if its particularly reliable or not even with meditate. If Ninja WS's were critically damaging it'd be very potent in many cases I think. Drg/Sam is useful also because it has a highly damaging WS (Pentathrust) relatively early on that causes massive damage, and fill tp by itself because of the number of hits it does, and it has Super Jump to shed hate when it gets too much because another thing to take into account is how much hate you draw from incredible damage, which can destroy party balance.

I don't know how damaging future Ninja Weapon skills are from my point, and I doubt many here know how damaging the new Ninja weapon skills are, particularly the 5 hit. Maybe if that 5 hit is really powerful...Thats just Katana ws's too, I haven't talked about Sword or Dagger. But Ninja's Katana skill is highest so it tends to be the most considered. But the choice is always there. But you also have to consider that Thief/Samurai may be able to do everything Ninja/Samurai can and maybe a little more. I don'
t know how much of a difference Duel Wield III and IV make.

But honestly I'm shooting in the dark, I can't say much on the combo's usefulness and weither it can be counted on to be used on its own. Though most Ninja's who get to 60 in the first place to make Sam a reliable sub would have Warrior as a sub job at ready, so try it when you get there. I'm all for having multiple choices in ones info. Have Warrior as your backbone and something useful as an alternate sub job.

Actually every job combo that had /Sam has been dished out. /WAR seems to keep ruling in as the fav melee sub, and if youre NIN you really need voke for tanking.

I was bored yesterday and I was seeing all high level jobs and when I was nin I saw three people with SAM subbed all three of them lvl 75

[Kiyosuki]

Yes, although Warrior is the quessesential Ninja sub class, I tried searching yesterday and I was surprised to see some Ninja/Samurai existing. They were all 70 + though, so maybe the two new Ninja Weapon skills are good enough to warrent its use. Drg/Sam wouldn't be the same without pentathrust would it? Perhaps if the 5 hit really is very damaging, and since its 5 hits it fills tp like crazy so coupled with tp bonuses, meditate, and your fast hits, you could dish out the Blade tech near constantly, and since you have Utsusemi Ichi and Ni for the usual blink tanking, you can afford to bring some hate to yourself as long as maybe a paired tanker comrade is there ( Or maybe not..)

Man...Ninja sounds so much funner at those levels.. The blink tanker's with /War have so much to work with, and you can actually have a bit of fun with subs like that and flashy Weapon Skills. So far away...

To me so far though, Samurai looks like one of those subs thats only truly useful at very late levels as far as Ninja main is concerned.
