Autumn Leaf Cat Card awkward for Ninjas

[Summerstream]

I don't play gunslingers, so I wouldn't know too much about them, but the little bit that I did read around the time of the Ninja vs GS events made me realize this.

But yes, I do agree that ninjas get the short end of the stick when it comes to this card. Aquaring does boost throw zeny, and the ALC affects throw kunai, but other than the calm mind fumma (unint. cast time for throwing fumma), there are no real boosts to the throwng tree for Ninjas. Throwing Humma Shiriken as a skill is quite lackluster unless you use a 3-4 slot humma for the skill. Don't get me wrong, I do agree with you here on the note that the throwing tree for ninjas is sorely neglected.

Alternatively, you could do swaps much like phen. Start casting with say... Quad dex giant wheel fumma, then to a calm mind fumma for the unint. cast, then to a damage fumma at the very end. But, all that swapping could get really annoying really fast. Anyways...

Regardless, even with a 99 str 80 dex remainder agi/vit build for a throwing ninja, throw fumma is extremely lackluster.

As for gears dealing with throwing builds, I would not mind seeing something like a humma that decreases cast time of humma chuck, or increases the damage of it.

Really random thought process, but I've at least done each of the builds for ninja at least once. Went from something like.. Magic to throwing, then to melee-FS, then to magic, where I am currently. I used a throwing build for leveling-- Used fire kunai and a fire fumma in moscovia dungeon. Finished it off BKing in nameless and in muspel parties at 50% tax.
