I'll say, Deft, that I not once ever saw Baldr break out Nin/Rdm or Nin/Blm. I've seen him on Nin, he does work, but not once did I literally ever saw him EleWheel Spamming for primary damage.
I was literally in discord with him when he was theory crafting the output of damage vs melee and when it would be better to use Ele Wheel or Melee. Coney and Jailers were 2 big ones he used Elewheel at. The reason he didn't use it everywhere is because it's like everything in this game, SITUATIONAL.
Now before you get your own panties in a twist;
First off, Coney's a unique problem in of itself and imo should not be used as a "parse capable target" and in of itself is such an obscure creature that changes like PW does and, at the time I was still around, was just a crazy shapeshifting rabbit. As for "jailers", plural as you put it, I disagree on a couple but understand for others. My issue as a whole is the literal forced requirement of "Chat Staff or you can't land shit" vs Dual Katanas spellweaving because your Auto-Attack Delay is not reset/delayed when casting, which was literally the only reason I could do the solo shit I've done.
Secondly, the overarching issue with Ninjutsu was the high resist rates in the sake of "If you don't have this specific item" because yes, with Chat Staff, you can get nearly every cast unresisted, but second you break out the Katanas again, you're resisted half the time. Almost like Chat's absurd M.Acc boost does so much. Yet solo'ing VT-ITs, and watching my full wheel get resisted on at least 4 casts is heartbreaking when I shouldn't be getting absurd resisted with capped Ninjutsu and a fuckton of INT+ gear and maxed INT merits. Low End ITs + Mid VTs should absolutely not have a 60% resist rate on everything. I've brought this up before, and have done days worth of testing as a whole whilst leveling Ninja. I killed shit much faster and did much more overall just auto'ing and casting Utsu instead of full EleWheel rotation with Autos weaved in between. Sure, Chat does a lot of work, but it's dumb that you're heavily gimped without it when in era retail I had literally no issue rotating full EleWheel without corresponding EleStaves to make up for the "Why am I being resisted out the ass???"
I expected this sort of shit as a whole, maybe I should come back just to spite the haters. <3
Specifically, and maybe I should drop LS and Player names at this point, but those whom dislike me 'cause I'm abrasive as shit but the truth is painful when it's right. Stop hating on
"waaaaah, it's not meta though, waaaaaah" mentality. Maybe give something weird an actual shot, it's almost like

You literally said it was just you taking advantage of Goblin’s using Bomb Toss like... 2 pages ago. You’ve also said it would be hard and wouldn’t be hard to get back into endgame for you, in the same thread.
Shame to see you haven’t altered your go-to method of childish name calling when you start to get frustrated with people pointing out how wrong you are.
Also, I wasn’t referring to your melee RDM set rofl. You acted elitist about your RDM gear a few months ago, and then we all came and checked you at KB and had a good laugh. Ooft.
I’m down for trying many things that aren’t considered meta on kills, they just seem to increase exponentially in the success department if you’re not around.
You solo’ing 10k an hour XP is great... it’s never crossed my mind though. I just generally find a few friends and do 4-5x that because I’m playing FFXI and actually have friends that aren’t furries wanting to fuck sheep.
Sassy child, you really don't fully understand, that's so cute. I'm not flipflopping on my statements, but someone with an IQ above 80 would understand that. And as for the laugh, what "bad gear' did I have? Was I Rdm/Nin geared in Full Melee? Was I Rdm/Blm? I have borderline BiS for Enfeebles, fuck I have nearly BiS for NUKES as a Goddess damned Red Mage, where my Elemental Magic Skill is equivalent to my Sword AND Dagger skills. Maybe you should to some real research. On top of such, the "solo'ing" bit is, as I stated, due to limited time or bored and waiting on something or someone. I act "elitest" as a Rdm because I don't idle in my enfeeble/etc gear? I idle in Melee Gear 'cause I can? Or I idle in gear that is, well, GOOD for idling? Maybe you should do a little research of your own? Maybe you should look into things on your own? Maybe give it a shot, on your own? Have you ever thought for yourself? Because it's obvious you're incapable of thinking for yourself Wolf.
