Thief/Ninja or Ninja/Thief? Which is better?

Ninjas get a Dual Wield bonus at 25, another one at 45, and one at 65 which (from what I have been told by many) deletes the dual wield penalty so you swing both weapons at the delay of 1 weapon.

Ehhh.... Not exactly that good of a delay with the bonus but it does get a bit better.

if all you see a ninja as is a blink bag tossing robot, you don't deserve to party with me in the first place

If you aren't that you're a noob and I'll beat you because you let the party die. If I was a leader and a NIN threw more ice blinks for semi good damage when he is the blink tank I am kicking him.

Right now it's strictly Japanese who are high levels, by the time I get to that point, there will be more people around for partying up. Plus I have enough friends to group with that I don't have to depend on the mercy of "perfect pt nazis" to get exp.

There's an American on my server named Dioz who is level 61 PLD, OMGWTFZOR!!!111 And Sakarau is level 55 (he might have leveled) DRK who is in my LS. Theres more, but I already proved you wrong so why do I need to continue?

EDIT: I've been with a NIN/WAR and a NIN/BLM and if I saw them standing next to each other I would invite the NIN/WAR. The NIN/BLM was nice, but I like to have a more efficient job combo.

Dioz was Dios in the beta, where he was also very high leveled. He's got several jobs in the retail, as well. I don't know what else he does all day, if he does anything at all other than FFXI.

I've only ever seen him as PLD/WAR never any other jobs.

I'm gonna go THF/NIN.
Subbing THF would lower the damage of Sneak Attack. Blah.
I'm subbing NIN just for DW, Sneak, Blink.

thf/nin wins no matter what. Ninja would be a useless job if it were not for being able to sub war and tank. LIke its been said before, Nin/war is the second best tank there is.

ANd about the perfect party nazis.... go ahead and try a gimp combo and see how much fun you have. People are adamant about party dynamics because it makes it more fun to play in a party that works well.
