Speaking from old knowledge rather than Nasomi experience using /THF for the majority of the time will give you great damage, /NIN really doesn't offer much of anything until later as you generally want to maximise your spells actually hitting.

From levels 1-69
- Use Thief as subjob
- Your bread and butter spells are multihits: Feather Storm/Bludgeon/Jet Stream/Frenetic Rip (in level order)
- Your big damage spells are: Sneak Attack + Screwdriver/Smite of Rage/Uppercut/Mandibular Bite/Sickle Slash/Death Scissors/Spinal Cleave (in level order)
- If you're below 100% TP and not going to use a Weaponskill soon, use Chain Affinity + Sneak Attack + Spell (it should boost the damage regardless of TP)
- Trick attack works too for hate issues

From levels 69+
- By this point you're in TP burn territory and have access to much better DD gear with things getting crazy, use Ninja as subjob
- Your bread and butter spells are still multihits: Frenetic Rip/Hysteric Barrage/Disseverment
- Spam Vorpal Blade as often as you can and use Chain Affinity when its up for your spells

Side notes
- While you can self skillchain and magic burst, it's not always necessarily worth it
- Don't forget the utility spells (Sleeps: Sheep song/Sopoforic) (Dispels: Blank Gaze/Voracious Trunk) (Drain: MP Drainkiss)


1-19 wouldn't /WAR be better? Even taru are going to be hard pressed to spam any spells in dunes life. Situational DW /NIN 20-29 and then I can get behind full time /THF. TP Burn territory here sits at 66-69 and then back down again. You want /NIN to prevent downtime from conal/aoe spam.

You can pretty much treat anything prior to 30 as a free for all, practically every job at that level has a poor choice for subjobs.

Hey in my defense doing detailed posts on mobile sucks :lol:

Few corrections, feather storm is not a multihit. I would say that self sc is good for plenty of things (unless you're doing SACA DS, VC etc.), self mb is ok depending on level/mob if you've got good mage gear (if you're/nin pre 51 briefly switch to dual clubs etc, you already have 0 tp anyway). Self mb of bomb toss 50 and below on fire weak stuff is ok, death ray might be decent if you're fighting oddball stuff. I don't do it much at 75 except for like nagic hammer or drain kiss or something

Also you could use something like rng or drg sub at low levels, or war for voke cocoon backup tank stuff

Hey I've been wanting that sword too :( we should fight the gauntlet of RNGs and bug nas to put it in :lol:
Ask for Yonin, Innin, and mythic ws while we're at it :D
Also if I'm getting paid for posting on BLU forums then all your previous payments must've bounced, hit me when I'm back in game, with interest naturally

Use /WAR and tank up till 30. Bore your healers to tears, make snarky comments when Screwdriver hits you for 40, use ACC/ATK food and impress the DDs with your big Bludgeons. Live the life!

20-30 I used /rng for Accuracy Bonus to get more milage out of my melee swings and Bludgeon
