Like others have said, in terms of pure DPS when going /NIN you're missing DW cap with eabani+suppanomimi.
Your options are Reiki+Eabani or DW+10 on the cape, which is slightly behind in terms of DPS.
Most people seem to favor the DW+10 cape option in the past but I think it fell a bit out of preference given the existence of Null Cape now, which you already own so honestly I would suggest to go for Reiki+Eabani.
For the feet I also suggest Nyame, even R25 is likely going to be a better option than Bihu. Or you could go with Perfection I guess.
In terms of DPS augmented Perfect is likely one of the best options but loses a bit in terms of survivability.

While it seems a ways down the road, I do want to point out that bunzi hat becomes better than ayanmo at rank21, so even a v20 kill is sufficient to make the change. Rank20 is only 5stp sadly.
"Rank: 21 [1] Attack+21 Magic Damage+21 [2] "Store TP"+6 [3] Accuracy+6 Mag. Acc.+6 [4] Quadruple Attack +1%"

Aaah kk I like that trade off with switching sailfi belt out. Woops.. I forgot to update the ring slots - using double moon rings atm :).
For Nyame boots, is that for the DT over PDT? I went with Bihu mostly because my boots are only R15 currently

BST and Monstrosity need to be combined. Miniaturize the models but keep the system and nerf/buff over the next year to balance it all.
Shout out to me for still being incredibly, unreasonably Salty, that Monstrosity dropped so close to FFXI getting Backseated to XIV, thus dooming it to be an incomplete dead system.
Going to die mad about it.
F**k that was such a fun system, and it just never got the chance to grow into anything good. |

If it's putting in Null Loop, it could be that you're low on accuracy in the sub optimal set.
I'm not sure where you logic is going.
But if that was the case the calculator should have taken that into account.
Anyway for OP i am once again experiencing none Pareto optimal sets.

First sets had a crap laod of diffrent gears.
Then i removed everytihng except for skulkers +3 feet to force having TH+5 in the set. and then a better set was combined.
Then I remoced the gleti legs R30 which was chossen for the 2nd sets
and now the third sets came out even faster.
Avg WS Time = 3.464 s
Avg TP per round = 349.4 TP
Avg WS Time = 3.421 s
Avg TP per round = 352.7 TP
Avg WS Time = 3.398 s
Avg TP per round = 355.1 TP
not muchh difference but it does show there are something wrong with how its searching for optimal combinations

I would say using average is not great: here is a data set I collected tonight that LOOKS like enough data:
Sword
3k 3k fotia
37579 38719
38027 38744
37974 39054
37195 38467
37986 38195
38675 37561
38817 37531
37677 38675
38547 37702
37556 37397
38935 37451
38486 38277
37774 37960
37696 38738
37768 39092
38275 37577
38354 37443
38047 38555
38797 38251
37514
38976
37575
38185
37212
38735
38585
38308
38978
38312
38499
37224
However, using the average with these data you anticipate ftp ~10 while the min-fotia/min ratio predicts ~18.x
Adding in more data to the second column and now the average predicts ftp ~40 but the min-fotia/min ratio still predicts 18.x
Additional fotia data:
37882
37673
38741
38550
38664
38253
39123
38513
Right now at 1.0479 and 1.0461 I am getting 18.4 for 3K
Quote: Fenrir.Ahlen said: »
99 rdm sub 59 sam (mlvl 50)
204 str
184 dex
204 mnd
no pdl / ws dmg gear on
Only scales with mnd / dex
Exact 3k imperator dmg values:
Spoiler Alert! Click to view.
so far I'm getting these for sword/imperator: 6.45 x 18.2
looks closer in line w/dagger
But also looks close to the data Ahlen posted 2023-12-23. There definitely needs to be more testing but I wouldn't be surprised if it's higher |

If you have access, I'd swap Sailfi out for Reiki, which will free up an earring slot. This is a matter of personal preference but I think it's better. For example:
Telos/Reiki/Eabani has 11% DW instead of 9% (you're 2% under with NIN sub, and require Haste Samba with DNC sub). It swaps 2% TA and 4% DA for 9 STP, plus about 20 more accuracy, which I think is a worthwhile tradeoff.
I prefer Moonlight Rings over other options, mostly for the safety of having DT and for the extra HP. Depending how serious the content you're attempting is, you're quite a bit under the DT cap here.

Not that I think Bonanza weapons = viable ways to balance jobs (as I said above), but if we did take that position, NIN's ability to put shadows on party members with Yagyu Darkblade is pretty cool for a lot of current content like Limbus, segments, Dyna[D] (if that's "current" enough), some Ambuscades.
And yeah, if hybrids work it's a pretty strong hybrid DPS job. Moderately high requirements to make that shine though, Aeonic (or Mythic) and augmented Nyame. Though really, even R15 or R20 Nyame is good and people want that anyway for lots of jobs, so it's less of a pain than something like the BST Ikenga Axe example that needs v25 T3 wins on an NM that only gives gear used by a smaller handful of jobs (RNG COR WAR BST NIN).
If people actually did legit Exemplar points, NIN's also pretty great there - including some pretty potent SC/MBs. IDK that I can fully blame SE for botting taking that off the table for many (though I kinda CAN fully blame SE for creating the conditions to incentivize such botting by making the grind so oppressive).

Thought I'd add that I'm pretty sure Limbus climbs/zone cap increases count because when I got rank 9, the only thing I can think of that I did was complete a climb. It must be a single clear or something cause my cap was 36k in Apollyon and 42k in Temenos when I hit 9.
Yeah I just came back to the game. I'm only at 45,000 and 60,000.
On a separate note, anyone have any tips for chocobo hot and cold outside of waiting an extra day for a few more dig attempts? This has gotta be my least favorite content in the whole game lol. |

I'd use nyame feet instead of bihu, and yeah definitely bunzi hat r30 once/if you get it. Rest looks pretty alright.

Are there any configuration options with this plugin? Recently switched to using DXVK with DX8 support and it works great as long as I don't have this plugin loaded with mipmapping to 3 or higher.
None, the plugin just restores behavior as it was before SE made the game ignore any other setting than 0 or 1. |

Ryou+1 are BiS. The TP to WS gain speed is minor but when it procs you are instantly at 2k meaning your WS hits harder.
Everything you would bring SAM to its ok to use them.
Limbus, Segs, Sortie, Dynamis all are just fine to use Ryou+1 in.
Master Trials and v25s they are not but SAM is a seldom used job in those.

Recently made some updates to me BRDs gear, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to improve it? I do have Bunzi but it's R0 atm which is why I haven't slotted it in. And I was unlucky to get ahold of an ashera harness and was using a meh legs and feet before adding in perfection body and legs, and bihu+4

Small stuff like that is something they definitely should do.
But "fixing" the job to the root is frankly impossible at this point imho.
This can be applied to all of the pet jobs, and even some of the non-pets that are in a bit of an awkward spot(THF, NIN as ex.) but SE seems to be in the mindset of just adding to jobs rather than going back and readjusting/upgrading older things, last big "adjustment" iirc was them taking merit spells out and replacing them with merit traits instead, cant remember if PLD/MNK changes came before or after that but those were the last big(relatively) job overhauls, everything else has just been an addition.
In short give me a scorpion SE
Ninja is working as intended. It has tank stance, dd stance, magical ws dmg, ninjutsu burst damage, high evasion, and subtle blow. It’s not as high physical damage as war, drk, Sam, Drg, but it has a lot of unique abilities. It does great in limbus NMs! |

People need to stop saying SE in relation to updates, there are 3 people assigned to the game and 1 isn't even supposed to do anything but paperwork as the producer.
Considering that they are doing a lot, they are also working on more complex things behind the scenes like blue and trust changes.
If an update just says about Ambuscade, there is no update. That's just a maintenance day.

I had to add an entry for the 'mon' job in settings.xml to get this to work in Monstrosity. Just find the 'job_specific' section in your settings file and add in an entry for 'mon' like all the other jobs. I think that's all I did to get it to work. Hey sure enough, that seems to have fixed it right up.
Thanks Nav |

Since there's doesnt seem to be any super huge changes with Limbus gear for Smn, I've only updated the Guide abit.
And I've added a Melee/WS section. I used Kastra's Dmg Simulator for Tp/Ws setup.
Do you really think Fickblix isn't worth it for any of the top sets? Well no, I just in general factor out most of those rings, since most people play many jobs and pick different rings. A miss on my part, I'll add it. The DD section wants the Lehko's Ring for TP, but I X'd it. |
