Talk:Yonin

From FFXI Wiki

NTE testing

Started with 12*99 Tools, spammed buff Ninjutsu on myself while using Yonin every 220 seconds.

  • 1188 tools -> 1544 casts = 23% proc rate ± 2.1%

Assuming a linear decay from JA use to when it wears off (300 seconds), there are several options that could be possible. The easiest trait to measure from Innin (+30% to +10% Ninjutsu damage) and the easiest trait to measure from Yonin (+30 to +10 Enmity) both follow that pattern. It is worth checking what the expected average would be for that pattern here with a 220 second cycle.

  • 30 - (30-10)*220/300 = 15.33 when we re-use it
  • (30+15.33)/2 = 22.66% proc rate expected

23% proc rate observed, so it could be the same pattern for NTE that it is for Enmity and Ninjutsu damage. Occam's Razor, probably is. It is worth noting that these tests were done with Iga Hakama +2 on, so they need to be repeated without it. Superficially, though, it seems unlikely that they enhance this trait. --Byrthnoth 12:40, 14 January 2013 (EST)


  • Without AF3+2 pants, I observed 1188 tools -> 1517 casts = 21.5% proc rate ± 2%

It's not significantly different. and exhibits a similar deviation from the predicted mean with 30->10 decay and a 220 second cycle, so AF3+2 pants do not seem to enhance the Ninja Tool Expertise of Yonin. This makes sense, as they claim to "Augment" rather than "Enhance" Yonin --Byrthnoth 16:26, 14 January 2013 (EST)
