[NINJA COMMUNITY] Shinobi Class build, etc. (Updated as of 05/16/2016)

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1146

Hey, I have heard that this build is quite useful as an off tank. I heard that the main benefit of going hoplite with shinobi is that you can use hoplite’s peircing debuff and then use DoV and Kunai for good burst damage

I actually have the same build and I am currently at level 224 and don’t know whehter to go Shinobi or Dragoon!!!

My concern with going Shinobi is that Shinobi clones don’t make use of Hoplite skills. So, the question is, down the line when they release circle 2 Shinobi, will he be EVEN MORE reliant on Swordsman skills like double slash???

As it stands, i do not like that clones ONLY COPY SWORDSMAN skills (not hoplite skills). To me this seems like Shinobi was simply not meant to have hoplite within its build.

This is how it appears to me. It seems that in TOS, certain classes jive with certain classes. There is an affinity between classes. It seems also like Dragoon is a natural progression of hoplite / cata as they both rely on spears. I wonder if I will regret putting Dopple in my build, as now I DEFINITELY can’t get Cataphract, as Cata DOES NOT use cyclone.

I think we need to be more cautious of these class synergies. They seem intuitive, but it’s tempting to want to branch out and experiment.

Anyway, I have heard that the build you posted above is good for farming and burst damage, and who knows, the Kunai + DoV + Pierce debuff could be EVEN MORE effective than double slash shinobi, I don’t know. There is also a chance that the devs make shinobi’s clones copy Hoplite skills in the future.

If Shinobi does not jive with Hoplite, then this doesn’t make sense to me. As it stands, I am Level 224 with the above build and waiting to decide which path i will go, shinobi or dragoon. I’m on the fence and would love to hear some feedback from this community.

Ive actually thought about it more and decided to go with swordsman>peltasta>hoplite2>corsair2>shinobi

I lose out on 50 crit from finestra, cyclone and deeds of valor, but the corsair skills seem like a good tradeoff. I will also be a pirate ninja which i think is cool. Wish i could get c2 swordsman for restrain, but i think id rather have a taunt and the ability to block. 18% evasion from guardian seems nice too.

I cant really help on which to choose since i believe either one could be a good choice. Hopefully someone can give better advice.

Clue: DoV only procs when you are hit by an attack. Not when you are doing the hits.

#1149

The way i see it, you get one stack when you activate it. If you use mokon no jutsu and get hit its another stack. Then you will appear next to them and they will be binded so you can get off the combo he is talking about. so 20% bonus is easy at least.

#1150

Another clue: Mokuton doesn’t nullify the damage and status effect that you take from any attack. It’s also 85% innaccurate and buggy. The bind also immediately dissipates after 1 attack which I wish IMC would seriously change.

#1151

I’m like you, I like to be different, even if I fail. I hate the Bushin no Jutsu

Sw c3 High c2 Fencer Shinobi
It can work?

#1153

I’m not so sure about this but Hidden Classes are to get only 1 Rank. Look at Chaplains, it’s a Rank 5 hidden class but you don’t see C2 or C3 Chaps.

#1154

What do you guys think of a Shinobi without Bunshin? Planning to make a 2h sword shinobi with either High3 or Barb3 + Doppel. Damage is priority by getting Kunai, Katon and Mijin. Question is are the skills damages buggy? Or just the skill attributes around it. I know Bunshin has the highest possible burst but I don’t like the risk it entails.

BTW this is for PvE. I know without Pelt i’ll have troubles but fck em all. :sunglasses:

No clones or Hoplite to boost your damage. Seems to me like you’ll be doing 2x to 5x less damage than all other Shinobis. Katon and Mijin both have really high CD and Mijin comes with its own risks as well. If you do somehow manage to make a build work around Mijin I’d definitely be interested in hearing about it in the future. Just keep in mind that Mijin also has a high silver cost per use so be prepared to have deep pockets.

#1156

May I know if you all use plate or cloth or leather armor?

Generally I use plate armor, however I realize high level dungeon are having more n more magic attack, I am thinking if I shd switch to cloth armor…or shd I use leather and go for even more dex?
my build now: 45 str and 194 dex … still thinking if i shd add con after reaching 200 dex.

Level 147 corsair … casually on my way to shinobi (got all the stuff just pending leveling :p)

#1157

Just got my 2nd Yellow Flower at 9:04 in-game time the previous one was spawn at 2:25 in-game time Orsha, Ch 1, June 12 2016

I can conform this, If both players were looting it at around the same time, they will both get it. Good Luck Orshar

#1158

Right now what Mijin needs is a better damage mechanic probably like base damage + 500% because it really pales in comparison to any other skill due to its long animation

#1159

Oh that bad. Well maybe I’ll stick on going Doppel2 then. Maybe I’ll make a Shinobi sometime. Costume and skills looks cool. Too bad they’re buggy.

#1160

Yeah, may take time but oh well IMC seems to still be trying to get on par with a good pacing for their ToS

#1161

That can work?
I’m thinking about build a shinobi whit that class build Sword C3 - Highlander C2 - Fencer - Shinobi But not sure if it will really work in practice.
In theory I got combos with: double slash + bushins, after lunge; g bushins + kunais and sept, after coquile; without bushins got some synergy in highlander and fencer, but I’m not sure about, cross guard, cross cut and skyliner can be nice because pierce attack vulnerability and bleeding.
Some advices? You think it can really work?
Lack of pelt can be a trouble

#1162

Hi, My Build is Sword-High-Barb-Barb-Barb-Dopple, Im planning to take shinbo as my rank 7, I heard that Bunshin does not work with 2 hand swords, my question is that does your physical attack go with kunais damage?

#1163

Yes, clones completely mirror your stats too

#1164

but they say it is not viable for 2 handed sword?

#1165

Because clones do not do auto attacks with Off-hand and 2H weapons are basically both Main-hand and Off-hand

Which is why this is the case
