Lookin to make a M.Def setup for my NIN... I have one for my PLD, but my NIN cant use more then half the gear on it :|.
Pieces I have so far:
Lamian Kaman +1
Merman's Ring
Shadow Ring
Coral Earring x2
Twilight Torque
These are all the pieces I can think of offhand. What other pieces can I get, aside from obviously upgrading those Coral Earrings to Merman's Earring? AH-able first as thats what I'd like to wear until I can obtain the NM and such gear. Also, not looking into going for dual Sekka +2 for M.def set... at least not yet, nor ever since its stupid light weather lol D:.

Well if you ever got to the point you needed a weapon and don't have capped MDT Oupire was easily duoable by an evasive job + RDM at 85. At 90 probably a complete joke. Of course the damage on it is not great though.
update: grabbed a Lamian Mantle +1 (could've sworn i had one, but i cant find it anywhere :|)
Might look into Oupire soon.
TBH, it doesnt look like NIN can wear a lot of mdef gear, at least whats listed on wiki, which hasnt updated much since 75+... so missing out on a lot as is. Need to check the MDT- list D:.
Also, does anyone know if DT- caps at the same as MDT?
Example: Shellra V (capped) + 20% MDT- and 5% DT- would be cap correct?

Yeah, the only difference between DT and MDT/PDT is it applies to both. It is still subject to the cap though.
Lamia mantle +1
Resolute belt depending on wether you want this set to macro in for "oshit aga3" or for a TP set with M.def you might want a haste belt instead.

Good. That means my twilight torque has a really good use in this set >.>! Here I come Empousa D:
Just grabbed the lamia mantle, and checked up on resolute belt, none up on stock :<

Hey BFF!
Here's an old MDB set I still had laying around. I know that you have most of this gear already or it's something we can pretty easily get you. Good Luck!

I levelled NIN about 3 weeks ago and also was looking to make a MDT set using hand me downs from my RDM. I found that, similar to what was said in the OP, NIN doesn't really have a whole lot of options in terms of MDT/MDB gear..
This is what I currently use.
I know for head slot there's a MDB +4 piece that NIN can use, but it comes from MMM. AFAIK, the only thing that can go into body/hands/legs/feet are INT pieces. I probably won't use the Kaman tho since it will reset TP to 0.
Is AV killed regularly on your server? If so, I'd try to look into getting a Minerva's Ring esp since one of your ring slots is being used by Shadow Ring. Also, Lieutenant's Sash > Resolute Belt if your MDT isn't at cap, I believe.

I had thought that the -MDT (and -PDT) caps were 50%. Is it 25%?
Also, run up a trial weapon for it. I don't know if you're willing to sacrifice some other stat, but trials are pretty easy (if long) and free. You could do magic defense, magic evasion, or both, I guess.

Doesn't despawn and 45% is probably accurate. I went 1/2 then passed ToD onto a friend who went 1/1. It certainly isn't low.
Gotcha - cool cool. Thanks.
Awwwwwww.....I thought this thread was about Most Def the rapper and how he plays NIN in FFXI. Curse my imagination!!!
resentment cape works in abyssea?

Um... I think late May-early June last year. I know it was right as I was finishing my NIN/DRK sets, right before hatespell nerf D:

Last I heard of him was that CD he made in 2008. I think he is doing movies now. But if he did play FFXI, he would def be a Brd/Nin. /endtrolling

Have one, doesnt work in abyssea I believe... I know it didnt work in Aht Urhgan, so I'm nearly positive it doesnt work in abyssea. Signet not working also helps support that.^

Magic Evasion = resist rate? That might be worth doing, but the M.Def katanas would mean killing ***in light weather right? I've had enough of 1 point per kill that I dont care for anymore (enchu +2 took a bunch @_@) lol...
Only need to do 1 MDB Katana if you're going to get Oupire's katana.
He's a joke and nobody kills him but bored people leaving Salvage/Nyzul. Or people MPKing one of their MNKs who fell asleep during Salvage (Naratu :D)

i think mdef is water, meva is light
Yeah, NIN's kinda boned when you're looking for magic defense options.
I wouldn't bother working on MDB katanas, I barely even use my evasion katanas, which would supposedly get more use because of NIN's role. I can't really think of any situations where you'd want to fulltime the MDB katana/lose your TP to take less damage from a spell.
2 pieces I don't think I've seen mentioned yet are Denali Wristbands and Suijin Kabuto. Latter requires you to have a decent MMM rune collection/know someone with one.
