As far as the NIN JAs go...know what else gives enmity? Spells. OH ***NINJAS HAVE THOSE! If you have ACC issues, eat sushi and spell spam. If you don't have the gil for tools, you're doing NIN (and RNG/COR) wrong.

If you're short on gil, Kurayami (Blind) gives the most enmity, and since it's blind, you lose less shadows, which means less enmity loss, AND you save a bit of money on Shihei.

Exactly, it generates similar enmity that flash on PLD does, and like flash even if the mob doesn't get blinded the enmity generated is the same.

Other ninjitsu like poison/slow also create enmity making you not a great deal worse off than PLD for enmity generating stuff when /war, only thing you're missing is sentinel really.

Lets evaluate that, shall we?

NIN spells that don't do direct damage produce 80 CE and 240 VE in terms of enmity, except Utsusemi spells, which do 300 VE and have the 1 point of CE that any action produces (at least). source

Flash, on the other hand, produces 180 CE and 1280 VE, as does Stun. Incidentally, these spells are on the same 45-second base recast that Ni spells are. Kurayami does not produce -nearly- the hate that Flash does.

Most other spells that are spammed for hate from /DRK or /RDM or whatever are used because they produce a good amount of both CE and VE on a shorter timer. IE, Dispel for RDM or /RDM works nicely because it's 320CE and 320VE with a recast time of 3 seconds.

Non-damage NIN spells really aren't great to use for hate. They produce a relatively low amount of enmity. Factor in that VE fades at 60/sec, and you're left with very little enmity after only a few seconds.

On the other hand, we can consider damage. Now, this does depend on the level of the target, so lets say something "average" for a lower level event, say a level 82 or so mob (high end for Greater Colibri).
For that, you get damage x 1.429 in CE, and damage x 4.29 in VE. Now, say you do an average of around 45 damage per Katana swing (reasonably average), non-crit. So around 64 CE and 193 VE *per hit*. 128 CE and 386 VE per attack round. So you'd actually produce -less- enmity by casting the Ninjitsu, in addition to not getting TP for the round or contributing to the mob dying faster.

The wheel is a different beast, of course, but in order for that to produce much enmity you need to do damage with it, which isn't exactly common post-50.

Harping on Ninjitsu as a hate tool only really shows how much you don't know about the job.

Go level SAM on Asura, then. Unless it's just my luck, I've sat around LFP in Whitegate as a 75SAM for... oh, 2-3 hours+, day in and day out. The problem with that frame of mind is thinking that "Oh, you're a SAM, SAMs get instant invites, you'll get instant invites." Not taking into account that 190837490183274901 other people have leveled SAM and are competing for those same invites. Don't even get me started on some the "invites" I've gotten for SAM, either... "If you don't have ***, don't bother answering" Replace *** with one of: Hagun, Askar, Byakko's Haidate, Usukane, etc.

I completely agree with Nightfyre here, As a 75 WHM I would "like" WHMs to have an MP boost, but at the same time we don't need it. I do not sub SCH and I myself can keep my PT going for hours without resting. I sub SMN for MP boost + Refresh. But inbetween fights, I am smart, I rest right before the mob dies and when people don't really need healing. The most recent update just made our jobs a ***TON EASIER. I'm not used to the update yet, but from how i've been using the new JAs the SS from using Cure is just insane though it may not be powerful SS, it saves lives, time, and MP

There's way too many people that freeze up in besieged for it to purely be a hardware issue. There's gotta be some bad code or something...

hmmmmm

RDM- yeah um, careful guys, they will mess it up royally. Be happy with what ya got (yes, I am a 75 rdm also with all necessary subs). RDM is by far the most well rounded job in the game when played by the right person with the right subs.

Whm- Hello, just got updated, what more do u want?

BLM- well overdue for an ability or 2. what those should be? not a clue, I like my job but they could throw it a bone or 2.

NIN- about time!!!!!

SAM- ffs, SE has proven their hard on for SAM.

Naah. Sam needs more updates.

Like giving us the TP bonus on Hagun while using Sekkanoki.

Another JA like Overwhelm where the Sam gets an Accuracy Bonus when in front of the mob would work too.

Let's see... What else...

No, it's a huge Xbox issue. I even have a more recent Elite and I freeze as well. I know tons of other Xbox users that freeze, too.
And what's with the name calling?
