Katana guide needed!

[Aither]

Well decided to take up Ninjar due to watching them in merit pts on my DRK do some impressive dmg and such.

So now I'm currently lvl 45 - hopefully 47 by tonight after work ; ;

Looking for a Katana sets from 46 on. I got the Yoto +1's for when I hit 46 today. I have a hard time deciding on what weaps to use when delay is a factor along with DMG, status effects, yadda yadda. The world was so simple as DRK "hmmmm what has the most DMG?"

So all I am asking is a 46-75 Katana set ups, maybe some pros and cons to the sets!

I really hope I don't open pandora's box and things get crazy lol.

46- yoto+1's because i liked the defense down.. and i didnt care at all for the sais

61 - Kabutowari x 2 or the +1's if you can afford them

66 - Kororito+1 x 2

70 - Fudo x 2

72 - Senjuinrikio/Fudo or Senjuinrikio/Unji

75 - now you can search for the katana debate on here in order to find the answers you want.

this is the katana path i took because i felt it worked the best for me.

Good offhand till 70 or so: http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/680
The drop rate on Hototosigu is horrible. You've been warned.

You can also get a Buboso offhand till 60 if you have the dough. Not really vital, but it's nice.

You can mainhand a Yoto +1 all the way till 60. Use 2 if you don't have the Hototosigu or Buboso. Then switch to Kabutowari +1 or the NQ version, whatever. If you don't have the Hototosigu offhand, then just use 2 Kabutowari's. You can use Kabutowari till 70, or get Kororito +1 at 66. I never used them though, because their additional effect is poison so if the poison procs and the mob needs to be slept you'd be fucked but I'm paranoid, so whatever.

After 70 there's lots of choices. Senj/Fudo, Fudo/Senj, Senj/Unji, Unji/Unsho, Mamushito +1/Mamushito +1, Senj/Mamushito +1, whatever. There are lots and it all depends on your play style and gear setup.

Katanas that look nice but are pretty useless (IMO):
Sai
Sai +1
Sairen
Imanotsurugi
Ryumon
Shamo
Rai Kunimitsu
