To this day I am still amazed ninjas have utsusemi: San..I remember when that was a silly fantasy/dream for players to have on a ninja.

[@NextGamesGuide]

Changes Since Video Release: - Malignance Gloves is also a very good option for hands and could be considered as BiS in the TP Build. - Dedition Earring is a possible option for earring but only in max acc situations. - The Hattori Zukin +1 mentioned will only give the Double Attack +9% bonus from behind. So if your activating Innin to use the head, make sure you are behind the mob. Also, the DW on this piece will reduce your overall TP gain further so in actuality if you have a desire for that Multihit build set. -The way I calculated Multihit in this video isn't correct as it doesn't account for the Diminishing returns in Double Attack due to Quad and Triple Attack. All the other guidance around the sets is correct. It's just the numbers I quote that are a bit off. Due to diminishing returns the actual Multihit numbers are: Tanking Set 84.4 Multihit Set 89 Best In Slot Set 78.5 - Looks like I mistakenly typed Abyssea instead of Ambuscade for the Ambuscade Capes. Just to clarify both those capes from from Ambuscade! The other "A" event. :)

[@SageAtoreis]

Why would you want to use empy+1 in capped haste anyway? Dual wield on it will lower you tp per hit by like 5%.

[@NextGamesGuide]

Ahh, I think I see what your saying. I wasn't concerned with DW in this set as it's supposed to be with Magical Haste Capped... but the DW calculation would take place before my Magic Haste calculation and therefore cause me to lose TP over what it would be without the DW. Yep, this in the end would make it worse then the other options that swing 1 time less per 100 for tp gain. I knew there was a reason I never used this darn niche piece. That whole setup though is really trying to just achieve the most swings it can so the Zukin does help it do that... but as I conclude at the end, I see less and less reason to even attempt the Multihit build. All that being said, yes you have a solid point here. The TP return on the build focusing on multihit falls behind again even more here with the DW stat included.

[@thrice1084]

As far as i remember, the Innin bonus is still only from behind for the double attack just like the OG pieces. It's still the "augments Innin" just labeled on the gear extremely short hand. You may want to update your head on the 'Multi hit' setup to a different piece as you are gettin no DA face-to-face with the bat and no acc/stp/etc from the 119 emp helm either. Seems a waste in slot unless you are behind the target.

[@NextGamesGuide]

You know... I was curious about this. I wasn't able to find any info on the net supporting this but the parser results I saw seem to support what your saying as the multi attacks it was showing there was averaging out to be lower then the 101 I expected. So yes indeed if your tanking you shouldn't be using it... at the same time though... why would you use be using Innin while tanking? I know I did it in the video just so that I could try to get the bonus included in the parser results for it but in actuality if you are activating Innin for the head then you are going to be behind the mob anyway and not tanking... or at least I wouldn't recommend tanking with Innin lol It's a good thing to note though so I'll make sure to note it in top pinned comment. Thanks for the information.

[@thrice1084]

@@NextGamesGuide Yeah I could never find any relevant updated info, but I figured/assumed it was unchanged as I don't recall them changing any other job empyrean from the original buffs (minus all the ilvl stat buff).

[@ichigoraign710]

Please!! Show us your magic burst set up your most up to date macro and how do you fit 2 spells for a magic burst I couldn't do it under one macro. Awesome video

[@NextGamesGuide]

To dual magic burst reliably you need a good fast cast set and the gearswap addon. I explain in this video how to accomplish that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp3EpH-wi9umitk You can find my current setup for Magic Burst in my Gearswap LUA here. github.com/NextGames2000/GearSwap I'll be going over the set in much more detail in a few weeks when I get to it.

[@louis4881]

thanks a lot for all the videos

[@earlcallaway8259]

Hi could you recommend a computer to play ffxi on? Maybe place a url to somewhere we can by online here in USA ty. Last couple I bought wont play it.

[@sf3testvids]

May I ask, If I am a little short on gill would a full set of kendatsuba NQ suffice also? I got the body piece as it is the second best body slot, but I am thinking of the stack of triple attack on other slots which NQ I think it's +18 with full NQ kendatsuba

[@NextGamesGuide]

Yes a NQ set is definitely better then most other options short of Malignance or Ken +1.

[@sf3testvids]

@@NextGamesGuide brill will get the rest, thank you

[@2010ariez]

How are you able to SC Shun Shun? When I open with Shun it says HI is the only Lv 3+ I can chain off of. Recently returned so the SC part has changed a ton since '11. Thanks for the videos!

[@NextGamesGuide]

The Heishi Shironken Katana from Geas Fete allows you to Light SC with Shun Shun. You are correct you cannot do it any other way, without Heishi you normally want to stick with Hi > Hi Spam.

[@JustThatGuy714]

How about Mpaca?

[@carltrenerry6462]

Great stuff ! Will the weapon videos be covering best off hands ? Thanks

[@NextGamesGuide]

Carl Trenerry Yes, good point I haven’t made a section for that yet. Will add to list!

[@Seizurecow]

Is the NQ kendatsuba worth it until I can afford the HQ or should I stick with hizamaru +2?

[@NextGamesGuide]

NQ Kendatsuba is really good, it will do just fine until you can get +1

[@lilrichie3474]

lol the mantel is not from abyssea its from Ambuscade

[@NextGamesGuide]

LOL Oh dear. I must have had a brain fart when typing it out and used the OTHER "A" event. Obviously it's from Ambuscade as I've gone over in my previous video's. I'll make this correction in the top pinned post for people who may have noticed this mistake. Thanks for pointing it out!

[@RcadeMFAM]

From intermediate to elite are all those gearsets relevant for end game? Just trying to find a good starting point

[@NextGamesGuide]

There are some exceptions of things that you won't use end game but yes the vast majority of the gear at this level is going to be used in at least one of your end game sets.

[@RcadeMFAM]

@@NextGamesGuide I never saw you replied >.< I wanted to get as much gear as needed you wouldn't happen to have a spreadsheet of what you would considered needed out of all the videos so i can start crossing them off or maybe i can make one

[@jakarai]

With the ear and rings, does it matter which order they go in?

[@NextGamesGuide]

Nope just personal preference. However, make sure you keep them in the same ears for all your sets. If you put it in left ear in one set and right in the other there is a chance it won't be available to switch to when you want.

[@ramirorubio7154]

Which path do you recomend for the adhemar pieces?

[@NextGamesGuide]

Good question. Path A

[@TonyGunz916]

Damn are the ambu weapons really better than ninja Rema’s?

[@NextGamesGuide]

Only for Magic Burst damage... REMAs (especially kannagi and Heishi) pull out way ahead on other damage. However, it remains the best option in offhand short of going with a SU5.

[@TonyGunz916]

NextGames thank you for the replies, I’ve really been considering ninja since finding your channel, I just don’t know what the best DPS, and tanking weapons are.

[@NextGamesGuide]

@@TonyGunz916 Will have some vids coming out going into more detail on this but DD weapons are Heisi/Kannagi followed by Kikkoku and SU5's. Best tanking is SU5 Path C. For offhands, stick with Fudo Masamune in offhand for best overall dps and Taurget/Gokatai for best MB Damage. Pretty much ignore every other katana unless you don't have one of these yet as they will all fall behind pretty substantially. Now obviously you have to start somewhere so a kaja Katana and kaja dagger is a good spot to start for someone just starting out. You can easily get them done through ambuscade and you DON"T need pulse weapons for them as they are right before the final upgrade. Then as you work on ninja more either get a pulse weapon and upgrade them to final stage or get a REMA/SU5. Hope that helps!

[@TonyGunz916]

NextGames thanks a ton!

[@Hadroncollider_]

now I spend 4 month in abyssea, doing every quest and getting every drop from every nm... still no Andaratia's mantle.

Great video but not phone friendly

[@NextGamesGuide]

I'm sorry to hear that. I'd like to correct it in the future. Was it the black with white text? The amount of text? Thanks for your feedback.
