You may have already caught this. It looks like potency of Aeolian Edge will be increased by a flat 60 while under the effect of Kazematoi as opposed to the way it was said in the video implying that it would be 60 per stack. Glad to see the breakdown won't be increasing the button layout. Ninja on controller is already busy enough.
one of the things i really like about ninja is the more involved DPS rotation for multiple targets compared to other jobs. I am SO glad to see it will get even more involved in the coming expansion!
I was a smn main yesterday i decided to main rdm since smn sucks now and now thanks to this vid im gonna go ahead and main nin for dawntrail. Im glad i got Mandeville relics for smn rdm and nin. Probably gonna go back and forth for my main until the 26th 😂
So more stacks of Kazematoi means greater Aeolian Edge damage, but what is the Kazematoi gauge spent on? 🤔 Edit: After a little more research it seems that Aeolian Edge uses 1 charge of Kazematoi, awesome!
Tbh i kinda wish they also updated/changed/evolved the visuals of the Aeolian edge combo as well, I played Nin since it's release all the way back in ARR and I am SERIOUSLY sick of looking at that bland combo after pressing all my fun buttons.
Initially, I thought you could get shuriken stacks with armor crush and when aeolian edge is used then all stacks are consumed for a +60 potency per each stack But that would probably be too OP
Finally a Mug that suits Ninja more, love the theming of Poison Breath aka Dokumori. New skills look suck asf. Looks like we'll have more reasons to use Armor Crushes before buff windows, feels kinda the reverse of Huton upkeep (which was hardly engaging imo). Opener will be fun asf. So much dps to look forward to playing (but rip Smn)
My only real beef with Ninja is we still cant use Trick (gotten at level 18) in combat until level 45, making it unusable for bosses in all but 2 arr leveling dungeons.
i think it's mostly good, it's going to be weird switching from being a rear priority job to a flank priority job in terms of fight positioning but I'll get used to it. I also think the Kunai stacks for Aoelian Edge are not super exciting but it's potentially a good building block for 8.0 if they give us something like Gunbreaker's Gnashing Fang Combo to spend it on perhaps during the odd minute burst which is less busy. I don't really feel that into it if there's no extra gameplay element or decision making regarding the guage b/c as it stands it's just Huton under a slightly different functionality. The actual Huton attack being an AOE hidden granter is actually huge for multi target optimization. Right now if you're going into a trash pack situation you still want to trick attack someone for the extra damage but using Suiton is a damage loss because it only hits one target and doesn't trigger the Nozuchi effect on Doton so it kind of takes you out of the multi target mindset. Ninja has a very robust mult-target kit that runs on slightly different logic than its single target (i.e. not just abilities with multi-target fall off damage but entirely different buttons with their own rules and interactions) so it's cool to get more abilities that play into that aspect of the job.
It hurts my soul every time I hear someone pronounce "Bhavacakra" as "Bavakakra"... 😂 (Correct pronunciation, for the record, is "Bavachakra"... That's "cha" as in "chapstick" rather than "charming" btw...)
@@llamatoddtv And thank you. Both for listening and for the NIN guide. ^^ (Now, let's take a moment to appreciate that the alt. spelling of the word wasn't used in FFXIV: Bhavacakka.)
Getting Higi with it.
Na-na na na na-na na!
Lol. Now I'm gonna /slap every mob after I pop Higi!! 😂
@@llamatoddtvdamn you beat me to it 😂
Glad you got to check out Ninja! Looks even more thematic for a ninja than before and I'm all for it.
felt great to play!

Yeah I wasn't very clear about that, in my head its 60 potency for each hit, would be pretty funny to hit with 740 potency aeolian edge.
props for that intro shot with the llamas!

Amazing breakdown! Dawntrail is gonna be sick! 🔥See you all in Tural!
As a WAR/NIN/RDM main, I've been VERY pleased with all of these job additions. I can't wait for DT!
Recently switched to NIN as my main and loved all the moves they showcased in the trailer! Thanks for the coverage!
Looks even cooler, can't wait to see it.
lets go oooo! nice work Todd!
Thanks Dave!!
i was torn between doing msq on pld (which i've done through all expacs) or NIN, and I think after this, i'm gonna main NIN!
LETS GOO! Thank you Todd this look amazing!
Thank you so much for this I was trying to figure this out. Now I understand it better.
ohhhh ninja is looking sick! thanks for the video todd!
Ninja looks SICK!! I hope the potencies are on par with the other melee (or higher, that's fine too)
@@llamatoddtvviper sharing gear makes me think its gonna cuck nin dmg sunce its the flagship job
@@JiooguProductions I think it will compliment NIN, having a sick NIN/VPR composition would be pretty sweet to try!
Trick no longer having a rear positional is pog
Especially since our opener has a flank positional now.
It's cool that we get more combo stuff to play around with.
I did not know Huton would get changed so im gald i checked this video out.

Yooo Nice info! Nice Video :D

LETS GO
Nice!!
Been playing NIN in preparation for VPR. I’ve always thought it was a cool job, but the changes make it look even more appealing.
Initially, I thought you could get shuriken stacks with armor crush and when aeolian edge is used then all stacks are consumed for a +60 potency per each stack
But that would probably be too OP
I think i'll set learning NIN as a goal for DT! After vIper of course!!!
Let's goooo jacqui!
AoE trick attack! Let's GOOO!!
Now that we have aoe trick, I hope they also increased ninki generation for the aoe combo
Finally a Mug that suits Ninja more, love the theming of Poison Breath aka Dokumori. New skills look suck asf.

cant decide between this or viper what do i do random strangers from youtube comments?
Level both and see which one is comfier for you, they share gear after all!
Best job in the game... YEP!
YEP!! Wanna do karate in the garage?
Nin! 🎉
My only real beef with Ninja is we still cant use Trick (gotten at level 18) in combat until level 45, making it unusable for bosses in all but 2 arr leveling dungeons.
As a NIN main this is fuckin awesome, but I'm getting VPR to 100 first.

Yeah ninja looks great for the expac. Samurai on the other hand looks the same.
Hardest part of SAM/NIN will still be the ability names
I still look at the pretty pictures and colors of the buttons
Bruh nin eating fkn good
Damn right
Does meisui work on the new huton?
It affects both Zesho Meppo and Bhavacakra, not huton though! You'll use huton in AOE packs to prep a trick attack!
Aoe trick… oh baby
Does moving or using other actions cancel Tenri Jindo?
No, in fact you may have caught me using raiju after TCJ but before jindo in the footage!
@@llamatoddtv Cool, thank you!

Can you please give me a rotation that I could use. Pleeeease and thank u.
Why my cat not hug me like that ? :(
I only liked the video because of the kitty...
Ninja is also cool I guess.
That's fair and valid, thank you!
Literally nothing changes about Ninja.
