i'm like a 65 ninja and i think i'm only like lance corporal so by the time i ding 75 nin, perdu is out of the question for the time being, now...

I remember back in the day ninjas used to talk about U/U builds, is it still legitimate? Or should i go senji/fudo until i can gain access to a perdu and go senji/perdu or should i just use the AH build?

I'm a bit confused as to what to go for 70+ since it's been a while since i played ffxi and it's also been a long while since i debated leveling ninja as a main.

I remember people used to love U/U but I really have no clue if senj/fudo would be better or not.

The rest of my gear setup 70+ includes SH+! haub+1 2x toreador rings V belt haidate, pcc, some shura, O hat as needed walmart turban fumas dusk gloves etc bla bla bla gear talk, i just would like opinions if U/U is a decent choice still or should i aim for senj/fudo until i can obtain senj/perdu?

bleh well i do kind of want to rock a U/U build just for oldschool values, at least till i can get perdu but i honestly think even 2 fudo's might out-do it =/

I guess i'll just have to parse all of the katanas and see, since yah thats how i figured out if i liked kick shoes or not.. and yah dune boots win, at least for me

i do like the low delays of U/U and especially if i get in a situation where i can innin, i think the lower delay might shine... but how often is that... really

Either way, if a seasoned ninja could drop some advice for 70-75 katana please do so i'd much appreciate it, i know in the end my goal is senj/perdu or possibly a relic but till then i need advices lol

also the new kunai augmentable weapon looks dope maybe i could work on that too? ps yeah im going for mirke with DW and crit+ if I ever get to there, that seems the best choice for a body to me given the fact i have high acc+ already? blah fuck ninja so many different options i need to consider, seriously.

They are.

But aim for Senj/Perdu.

[stubbieunicornserver]

cool, thanks for the input and yeah i was still going to aim for senj/perdu but i probably will do U/U untill then or at least until i get a senj and unlock it, then probably senj/fudo till /perdu, thanks for the response, much abliged.

man i shouldn't even have asked this question... because I guess i already knew the answer, I just wanted confirmation i guess.

I'm in no way a professional ninja though, it's one of those jobs i leveled to 37 several years ago then recently decided to make it a 75 lol

so correct me if im wrong but:

fudo/fudo < U/U < senj/fudo < senj/perdu ?

if it's wrong please do say

ahh but shit there is other combinations, what about fudo/U or senj/U or U/perdu?

I really want to know how these all parse, better yet i want to know how blade: metsu does, i've only seen it once and i was a mage so it was filtered =/

Main hand senji > fudo > *
Off hand perdu > U = fudo > *

UU is lower dps and lower wses. It's ok to offhand one to tp a bit faster and add some Str/Dex mods to your wses, but that's it.

In the end, what makes a real difference is the ability to get 5tp/hit, which works with pretty much all katanas.
Main combos is usu feet + rajas + brutal. Other alternatives that give good store tp are Usu body, Mirke body, Anwig Salade. Now, is it worth it to put store-tp on these over other items ? It's up to you.

senji/perdu
fudo/perdu
If no perdu other katana be: Hayabusa,Unsho,Unji,Onishibari,Kitsutsuki,*Hototogisu*(in no particular order)
Main hand anything ~38DMG would do!

*I have seen quite a few nin use this off hand till perdu! I have never use it, so not sure how good it is!*

[Ark33]

Why would he offhand an hototogitsu ? That's a lv 55 weapon with 7.7 dps... when a Nin can get katanas with 10.4+ dps.

The offhand Katana only matters for dps and tp gain speed, and the speed gain of Unji over Fudo is really small: 0.2s per swing.
I change my advice above: offhand fudo > mamushito+1 (for stun) > Hirenjaku ( for acc but lol) > Unsho ( for ws mods but lol)

thanks for the honest advice from all who replied, i'm glad you guys were open and responded rather than saying some lame fuckbag shit like "read stickies you noob lolol" which is common in other job specific forums, i did read stuckies but there wasn't much about 70+ katana choices here.

thanks again guys.
