I'm looking for some examples of gear sets (Empy will happen eventually, but I'd also like to see some NON-blade:hi builds) for various NIN requirements.
Unfortunately searching item sets on FFXIAH is worthless after the 75 cap expansion, since most of the sets are WAY outdated.
Someone who knows how to be a NIN, could you give me some examples of TP, Solo, WS, Ranged, Nuking sets
Link to your profile, if it's semi-up to date would be awesome :)
Thanks!

TP:
katana/katana/---/Qirmiz
AF3+2/Rancor/Suppa/Brutal
Thaumas/AF2+2/Epona's/Rajas
Atheling/Twilight*/AF2+2/AF3+2
*Patentia is slightly better if you care.
Not sure what's good for a marches build, I never have marches when I'm on NIN.
Shun:
katana/katana/---/Demonry
Oce +1/gorget/Moonshade/Brutal
Toci's/Myrmex/Rajas/Thundersoul
Atheling/belt/Byakko's/Thaumas
Might not be quite right in certain slots, I don't have Shun merited and I'm going off the top of my head... Athos if you lack Myrmex and even if you have it on active days. Dilaram's vs Thaumas should be pretty close, same for Demonry vs Bomb Core.

Nightfyre has it right.
There are a few current sets in my profile that I use. Nothing to do with ranged or nuking. Not my bag. Sorry.
TP Set
I would replace my Twilight with a Patentia (if I had one). Swap to Kamome offhand for Abyssea.
TP Set with capped delay reduction
Ignore the offhand Kikoku, I was playing around with mainhand and offhand control.
Blade: Shun
Use Athos hands when day appropriate.
Blade: Hi
I would swap to Athos Body and Kamome for inside Abyssea.
NIN DMG-%
Farm some Dark Rings and don't look back.
NIN Evasion
Should you feel inclined to operate in evasion gear. A few changes with this set are probably necessary depending on target and evasion needed.

Probably something like this for Marches
I have a few sets on my page if you want to take a look at them.

Thanks so far guys, I'll check out your sets!
Does Usukane gear EVER have a place anymore? (guessing not, but I sat on that gear so long before I could use it!)

Hands might be good in an evasion set, not sure anymore myself.
edit: forgot about iga tekko +2 **

Your Iga Tekko +2 should outperform in an evasion set.

Yagen is just thrown in incase you're nuking only or something.
Can use Astute cape as well.

I only see four gearsets in this thread.
I expect 2008 more shortly.

I would agree Koga Legs would be a better substitution.
That evasion set was made a very long time ago (as well as it's actual use in my play). So updates to it would more than likely be necessary.

I have a question that's been picking at me... Why do some people use rancor collar instead of agasaya's? O.o
Rancor collar
Acc+6 "Tomberry's Grudge"
vs
Agasaya's collar
Acc+8 Attk+8 "Subtle blow" +5

Rancor Collar
Depending on Tonberry Hate:
Damage Taken+ 0~10%
Crit. Hit Rate+ 0~5%
(Max hate= +5% when it costs 6k to reset)

For what its worth, try plugging in usu ft in the dps sheets...it seems to be better than all other feet options (even when trying to mix and match various gear) when plugged against Qilin/Pil.
Katana/Katana/---/Fire Bomblet
AF3+2/rancor/suppa/brutal
Thaumas/Thaumas/rajas/epona
ath/twilight*/AF2+2/Usu
I'm not really sure why (acc/atk probably), but once you start to fight weaker mobs, AF3+2 become better feet.

What buffs do you have active, note the store TP on the boots. As your haste increases it will create an ever widening gap compared to... well normal haste boots.

No external buffs were given, since "weak nin is stuck in the mage party" in VW...despite having outparsed plenty of cor/brd buffed melee -.-

How do thaumas legs compare to haidate for hi/jin? Obviously would use haidate for shun.

Assuming max augments, and fighting trash mobs (nin's main function) these sets come out ahead of everything posted so far via Moten's latest mathy sheets:

Plenty of melee, even relic/emp melee, don't have leveled up atmacites. Sad to say but I've seen plenty of Rag/Ukon/Masa/etc DD's show up very low on parses even when all they are doing is spamming their top WS. It doesn't really show until higher tier Jeuno/Promethia/ToAU VW.
I parse mostly for my own satisfaction so I can see how my attack, acc, and such is doing so I know if I need to adjust gear sets. So many times have I seen relic/emp DD with 50% or less acc and doing lower single digit overall DD%. I asked a Rag DRK what atmacites he was using because I was how low his DD was and wanted to help him out, and his reply was "where do I get those?"

I don't really feel like atmacites make *that* much of a difference. I only use Coercion and Discipline(don't have 3rd yet) and I'm pretty sure without them I'd still be on top of the parse in most cases.

At digi TP set, is 14% haste setup really beating the 25% haste setups?
Suppose the only pieces i'm really asking about is the waist and feet slots, compared to twilight and iga.
