I know this game is old and maybe I could find this answer by googling harder, but iv looked and not found a satisfactory answer so I’m asking here.
While leveling ninja as a tank do most people go with all the evasion they can find in gear, or all the damage they can find and just rely on their shadows. I’m currently only in my 20s and don’t have Utsu:ni so maybe that changes things.
Thanks for the tips!
Short answer: Both, swap to evasion gear if you're dying
Longer answer: At the lowest levels there's really not much option between the two - the 30s and beyond you get some choice, on things like ochiudo's kote, fuma kyahan, etc., and in the 50s you begin to get major choices, like haubergeon vs. scorp harness. In an ideal world you would have both, but this is probably unrealistically expensive for a new player. In that situation, I would probably opt for damage over evasion - proper casting of shadows will keep you alive quite a long time, and it's perfectly common for people to make groups without any sort of tank class and rely on people as /nin, so you already have a leg up on survivability regardless.
