its pretty much the consensus to go with Razed Ruins, Averter of the Apocolypse (the shinryu one) and Gnarled Horn for tanking, and straight DPS is the same basically but switch Gnarled Horn for Sanguine Scythe

RR/GH/Apoc
have fun.
GH will give you just about the same DPS as SS, but you get the added benefits of AGI and Counter+, so I wouldn't advise switching out GH for SS (especially with Kannagi).

Anything where 2-300 HP is going to be a significant difference is something you're probably using Migawari for anyway.

Or you could just cap recast reduction and have it on a 1 minute timer, which is pretty reasonable. Can't think of anything that casts a spell strong enough to 1shot me after Shell + MDT.

no, i don't bother reading the whole thread. most of them derail onto something else, and much of the content can be found in the 1st and last(due to quoting)

Yes, but the difference kind of matters in the context of what you responded to.

Bismarck.Josiahfk said: So right now you're telling me night that on your ninja you don't see any situation where SS would be worth equipping on nin? Not on a Kannagi NIN, no. Jin NINs might get some mileage out of it if they don't care about damage taken.
