Oh right, they removed the metallic colored dyes and some of the cash shop minions.

It's pretty nice. Actually is fairly complex even though there's very little to none positional requirements(every minute you want to hit from the back once and every 20secs from the flank once assuming a WAR isn't doing the slash debuff for you). There's a lot of off the GCD stuff and the ninjutsu themselves are off the GCD. Ninjutsus are a bit weird cause you have to clip the GCD since they don't like chain super fast, but they're pretty strong in comparison to normal skills so that's fine. Class is fast paced, has a lot of ranged options but is probably the squishiest of the 3 melee DPS, other than the OP "dodge next phys attack" which will be great to dodge boss skills.
Solo till 15 and run Sastasha >Tam-Tara (16-19) > Copperbell (17-20) > Halatali (20-23) > Thousand Maws (24-27).
If you haven't already completed them there's always Guildhests.
However, yeah, tedious repeated dungeon-bashing and leves it is.
They would be if people still did hunts. Probably won't happen again until square adds poetics to A ranks. Right now people doing ST and LOA for sold tomes/sands/oils. ST runs are hella quick as well. The roulettes give sold tomes as well.
ST and LoA i can only assume are the crystal tower zones?
edit: how much of a burden will i be queueing as the tank at ilvl 52 in LOA?

Don't think you can queue as 52 anyway. For gearing early on, you're probably better off running dungeons and stuff. Try to unlock all the trials and all the normal dungeons so you can run high lvl roulette and trial roulette, these give decent soldiery every day, and the runs themselves sometimes give good soldiery if someone's new. It's kind of a rough patch to gear up, before the patch you could get full i90 easily but now you struggle quite a bit to get i100 since soldiery drops are lower and the content for them relatively harder, and jumping from no gear to 100 is a huge jump. You can get i90 in the new dungeons but the new dungeons are insanely hard in comparison, you'd probably want 90 before you even do them, especially as a tank, so that's kinda fucked up.
It's kinda stupid tbh, they should have increased soldiery drops.

You can do LOA at ilvl 50, but yeah since im playing a tank i don't want to drag the group down, even though theres 6 tanks.

Oh then you could probably do it, tbh it doesn't matter you need like 2 tanks for the entire thing, other tanks are just there to distract adds or what not. You want to get it out of the way asap as you're not ever going back in there once it's done, just need to unlock ST. For ST, you'll need to minimum level for it which is 70, then it doesn't matter just don't MT the bosses. For 70 a fast way would be to look into crafted stuff maybe, it shouldn't be too expensive to grab some i70 or i90 crafted armor depending(especially darksteel stuff is 1pc for 2slots, can get both for like 50k if there's some leftovers on the market, that's 4slots in i70 for only 100k), and inflate your ilvl like that. Get a relic and upgrade to zenith too, this helps for just in general tanking. ST is what you want to run for gearing up, since you can get i100 drops, sands/oils you'll need for soldiery gear upgrades and it's 50soldiery per run which is not as efficient but is still good.
You can run LOA as many times as you want per week and get loot multiple times? thats what it sounds like this wiki is saying.

Yeah both LoA and ST(since 2.4 patch). Especially now with the removal of ST lock out, LoA is completely worthless other than glamour(that monk armor looks so good).
Finished my relic a year...on time. Almost ready to start Atma part. Do i need to be playing the class im working on the atma for to get them to drop or can i switch to other classes to level?

You can be any class BUT you need a Zenith weapon equipped, meaning you can't get atmas while lvling, which sucks. On the other hand they massively increased atma drop rates and people are reporting getting all 12 atmas within a single (long) day, which would have been a joke prepatch when it took like 3-4hours per atma on average. The relic past zenith is a huge pain in the dick though and unless you really want to grind a lot of shit I wouldn't bother. You can get an i110 weapon kinda easier by running ST for Unidentified Allagan Tomestone and getting 1300 soldiery then a Sands of Time(from ST also) to convert the i100 to i110.
Not that getting UAT in ST is easy nowadays due to everyone rolling on everything, but beats Animus and Novus steps by a fuckton. Especially Novus being expensive as all fuck and both being a huge soldiery grind, 4500 for animus books plus doing the actual books, 30000 for novus though you get one alexandrite a day from the daily so that's 400 less per, and you could in theory buy alex from hunts seals if you can find groups still doing them.
I'll do Atma for now and then work on anything past that when i'm really bored then. Trying to get gear to drop for me in LoTA but it's not going well.
One thing about this game is it has the best looking weapons out there. This is just the basic Ninja epic :
Think I'll do a few Atmas while everyone is busy leveling Ninja via Fates.
