2021 Mog Bonanza

You are totally wrong on this one and wrong a lot. This is another stereotype that is 2019 really. With 2021 meva available for most jobs, it's physical damage and add effects that a treat. When are people dying now as DDs? To op physical damage like fell cleave from ms war in dyna d or other WSs from fomors, or OP crits,tp moves from boosted NMs in Odyssey or from endeath in ambu etc. Shadows works for many things, but are generally hard to keep up as /nin while still trying to keep dps. When someone else can give you shadows tho, thats whole other story. Also shadows hitting 6 targets is totally game breaking hate tool. It's by far the strongest hate tool in a game and it's a buff, so works for everything that have you on hate list. It's ideal for hate reset too, because you can keep getting hate back while providing shadows for party members having hate after it was reset on you. This katana is total game changer for nin tanking. Not sure how anyone with base knowledge of ffxi mechanics cant see that.

I love the name Yagyu Darkblade

The katana is pretty busted and it could revolutionize ninja and do a lot to help bring it back into the fold. But it doesn't matter because you can only get it via the lottery, and many of the people who do win first will want to pick a different prize. Gating unique equipment that can provide combat benefits behind a lottery doesn't really help the playerbase since only a small fraction of a percent of them will ever get to try them out. That's why I said it's a huge waste of the developers time.

What's worse is that NIN is such an uncommon and non-meta job, the chances of someone who actually plays the job at a high level actually getting one of these from lottery is super rare.

Can you even deliver these from mules?

The gun seems quite eseless.

I would say the shield could increase the SCH dps but.... SCH isnt on it...

You're arguing points I didn't even make. I said exactly what I said. Everyone's panties getting bunched over this thing you think is super crazy best item ever. It's not that.

Just simple reality. It's a novelty item. Totes cool. Nothing worth busting a nut over.

Honestly in reality it would be detrimental. Tards would stop using dt because the nin will keep my shadows up. Yeah. No.

Depends on if gun counts as a recycle effect or not. 100%+ recycle rate could be some serious *** for rng at the least.

how ridiculous is that Chocobo Knife design...I just can't..

What would be op in 100% recycle (Assuming we forget that recycle caps at around 90% and with relic+3 head you are at 89%).

So first, it's going to be mainhand only, you know it.

You also know that you don't get enmity for 18 shadows created, give them some credit.

Solo, you're already the tank or you specifically don't want to be (AAEV August etc) giving trusts shadows is moot at best. enmity+ has absolutely zero value solo. and you have to give up your rema to use it even if you wanted to.

If you think aoe utsusemi is broken, wait until you find out about aerial armor, your head might explode. Not only does aoe utsusemi already exist but the job that does it has other buffs too, omg broken wtf?

What kind of Blu does Diffusion Occulation over Mighty Guard?

aerial armor

If it was all self-buff Ninjutsu, that would break Ninja.

...that would break Ninja.

The kind of BLU that's spelled SMN

Did you just compare AoE Utsusemi to... Aerial Guard?

For all intents and purposes they're the same thing. They're not literally, but they are basically.
