OMG, I can't believe I lost to one of these guys as a 44rdm/22blm. Took me by surprise when I tried to sleep him, then took notice as he starts spamming all kinds of ninjitsu. With no buffs up, and about a 50% mana pool, I couldn't get stoneskin, or blink up, nor aquaveil for that matter.
So I venture back out to Saramounge with all my buffs up, and engage for round 2. Needless to say, I ate his utsusemi for lunch with my -aga spells.
Still puts up a decent fight. Without Phalanx, he eats through my stoneskin pretty quick. Have to rely more on regen and cures.
I love having a 55 blm to take down this things with ease, aoe <do you need it?> yags down down in packs with these, this nasty utsusemi yags arnt a problem either, but then again, im sure any lvl 55 could take em down.
man who in their right mind would buy shyuirikens when these are so fun to kill..
my 43 rng takes em down as well, barrage <do you need it?>
These guys are not so hard to beat, as a 36 RDM/SAM I take them down regularly. Their Utsusemi is annoying, I'll admit it, but then again, my Stoneskin, Phalanx, Blink, Protect II, and Third Eye MORE than make up for it in a fight.
If their utsusemi works anything like a player nin's utsusemi then Bio and Dia will not go through. If your magic levels are high enough it might break it in one hit, but will not go through.
These guys are naaasstty..that blink effect they use means it takes you forever to take them down, fighting one as a lvl 33DRK/16RDM and he conned as decent w/ low eva and low def and he handed my head back to me on a platter. Wouldn't reccomend soloing them
