Ninjas are oddly........... Satisfying??

[HachiMan2015]

Well I leveled a beast/dark, bots/time, demon/cold and thugs/traps to 50, and many many more to 30's and 40's. (incidentally, my altitis doesn't prevent me from making 50's, that's easy. My altitis prevents me from making money to fund the 50's) 

 

Sorry, got sidetracked there....much like my ninjas!

 

Seriously though, I've been leveling a ninja/electric and am now at 35. Yeah it's kind of a maniacal carpal tunnel inducing playstyle and you definitely can't "chill" with the combo, but man, those suckers hit so hard....mobs just.....melt under their frantic swords and shurikens. With electric it's easy, although still busy, to keep them alive. I think it's my favorite combo so far.

 

Like, of them all.

 

Anyway, my main purpose of this post was to thank @Sir Myshkin who casually dropped a ninja/electric build back when electric was brand new. That's the build I'm using and it's really good. The only issue is it has (3) attacks in it and well, I can't seem to find the manual dexterity to get them off as I need to keep healing the little buggers, but I can get one off every so often.

 

I've been afraid to try ninjas due to their paper thin skin but decided to take the leap. I encourage others to do the same. Good fun! Thank you forumites, I wish I could give back as much as you all give!

Color me interested. Could you post the build? I need to test the MM changes.

I love my Nin/Storm so much. Between spot healing, keeping hard targets taunted, and casting my storms I feel like I'm in a constant state of panic. But damn it if she doesn't just melt everything down. 80s pylon time if the ninjas don't get aoe'd down too much.

Oh man I can imagine the damage of adding storm to the mix. But I can't imagine the shear....business, of the set. I'm already sweating and needing a beer after a couple hours of wrangling those buggers in.....but worth it.

It's actually not that bad.  You can always set them to GO TO a spot and the AI (usually) keeps them in a decent range of it.  Plus really the only power you want to be spamming is Gale.

 

Now Ninja/EA!  There is a click hungry combo.  All the END you will ever need, plus Absorb and Heal on fast CD's to keep the buggers alive longer.  This combo is a work out.

Yeah now I've actually put thought into it I guess storm is more "busy" graphically than clickily. (I think I just made that word up) once your nados and clouds are down you just watch your minions destroy! With the odd gale and o2 boost of course.

 

Storm must be harder to keep alive I'd  imagine? Then electric? But far more damaging. Electric protects them but at the cost of your tendon health.
