The beginnings of my blog....I think I'll start with what this blog is about. In this blog I'll be discussing some (currently) unorthodox playstyle of the game. It will probably also cover some not-so-well-documented things about the game too. Currently, I am working to finish leveling my NIN and work on some merits before I dive into doing this sort of thing. Here is a sample of the questions I have planned to answer:
NIN/PLD - NIN/DRK was once uncommon. Now DRK as a sub is popular but what about its polar opposite?
SAM -damage% build - It was once thought that SquareEnix had intended samurai to tank. Can there be any actual truth to this?
SAM parry build - A different take on the tanking samurai.
NIN shuriken build - The highest DPS of any conventional weapon is 11.8 DPS (excluding relics and haste effects). However Fuma Shuriken has 22.5 DPS. Is this (or other shuriken) a realistic option or are NIN better off sticking to ordinary katanas?
Over the next few days I'll elaborate more on these topics and my current progress on testing them. I will perform some testing in actual realistic settings (and not beat up on poor lv1 rarabs for sake of numbers). If there are other topics that you want me to consider, let me know in-game or here.
edit: Much of what I will discuss will be my own theories, especially with game mechanics. Although this comes from 4+ years of playing, I can easily be wrong on some points. If you find things that are proven wrong and have been documented, feel free to point that out with the source.

Hey Chewbarka,
I don't know if you know this info already or if it's outdated with the new 2handed updates but check out genomes post on ffxi dmg equations. It might help give some insight on things you are thinking about.
