Ive just started playing war/nin a few days ago. Ive been dealing some good dmg while duel wielding Battle axes+1 like 35 a hit and 100+ on ws at lvl 20. I was just woundering at later lvls can this combo be considered a damage dealing ccombo like drk and drg for melee. Im dealing good dmg now, just woundering if it drops off at later lvls. I might have found a new class if the dmg gets better since id rather do that than tank, even though i dont have a problem with tanking :P Ive seen the chainmail at 50+ seems to have alot of att and acc stats.
 
ive seen this combo at lvl 30, it was pretty good, they were hitting for like 40-50 damage a hit(so about 80-100 each attack round) and then they berserked and hit for over 100 each attack round, and it was great when double strike kicked in while berserked...

at lvl 50 would be uber good cuz of the 2nd dual wield boost..

the only thing though was h was using twin cent. swords too, so...
 
java, he did say he wanted to make his WAR more of a dmg dealer, but yes you are correct, that would also enhance tanking, less cures to be done, and also, since you will be dealing more dmg means more hate for you...and if you can time it right to chain utsusemi so you dont get hit at all, you could berserk while tanking, and maybe even solo...
 
i know he wanted to be more of a damage dealer but im saying usually nin subs are for utsusemi and dual wield,

once you have double attack (i forget what level that is) 2 weapons + berserk + blink is pretty dam good, 4 hits a round with berserk is good damage, then when the tank loses hate (not nessicarily to you) you can voke and take a few hits before any damage is recieved and if you learn to time utsusemi right, you can go take on big big things, ive seen ninjas level 50 take on VT++ monsters with only haste to help them.
 
i Have seen you do it ... it worked nicely, you never lost hate, and dealt some really nice damage. although really, i don't need to know when you do your "reswing" ability every time 8)
