Dark or Storm for Ninjas?

A quick question…if choosing between Dark or Storm as a secondary for Ninjas, what would you folks consider to be the stronger choice for PvE soloing (least downtime)? I am guessing the answer would be Dark…but I didn’t want to overlook possible advantages in the Storm set (such as Freezing Rain). Any insight into this is greatly appreciated!

my main is a ninja/dark and its pretty awesome, since you get the 2nd pet which can stack holds with the oni and all the -tohit of dark complements your ninjas base defense (although nto a lot, its still helps with the -tohit working with it)

I would suggest /Dark since /Storm has a ton of knockback. Whenever a foe gets knocked back, the ninjas would pause for a few seconds unless I force them to move.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

I have a ninja/storm and it's one of my favorite MMs. Most people hate the combo because the ninja AI is so difficult to micromanage, so, I took group TP so I can literally place them exactly where I want them. I have not had an issue yet, and from that moment on I was ripping things to shreds left and right with minimal effort. I spend most of my time targeting the next mob than worrying about the current. Usually before my feet drop to the ground, two mobs have died off.

I have a question Wassabi. Why would you play a Power Rangers mastermind?

Dark is never a bad option. It's just a good set and it goes well with everything.

I would think /storm bad because of the knockback and ninjas preferance for melee, though they are fast little ****ers, so maybe not.

Im currently stoned so I don't get the humor: Im thinking something of teleporting ninjas you're refering the power rangers as nothing but...

If the game provided for a [Summon Zord] power with i19, I might consider a using a free costume token to Make myself as close to a Giant talking blue head as the Costume creator might allow and purchase a rename token and call myself "Zordon".... but until then, it was just the closest thing I could get to for a smoke flash "Here we are/arn't" affect... but more over, it what was I intended from the start to overcome the challenge of macro managing them for best results; I don't have to manage them to with an inch of their life or macro them into the thick of battle ever either; they are in the middle of the mob, all their attacks are avail for them, they bring out the hard hitters faster with no chasing them down or running up to them, que up rain at your feet as your animating and let it fly on port...

There are a few who have played this and know what Im speaking of. I don't advocate group TP for anything, but in this one instance, it becomes an awesome tool not for travel but for superior minion management.

One of the plethora of Power Rangers shows was Power Rangers: Ninja Storm.
