Dyads: Pounding vs Carving (vs forceful I guess???) for Ninja

KeepItCreepyKeepItCreepy
in PvE Discussion
Well, I finally got my SF ninja weapon to +15 and am now trying to figure dyads out. I know obviously I want bitter/savage/focused, but I've heard conflicting things about whether carving or pounding is superior. It seems like /most/ guides I've read have gone with carving, but I want to be completely sure before I bind the dyad in case I end up switching it - I dont want to waste it. I've also seen a lot of ninjas use forceful if they're all crit build but idk how viable that actually is.
Either way, I'd love some advice! Thanks in advance o/

    I don't know in N/A. No one have tested it yet.

    But, in Ktera, some people have tested it for Ninja class.

    For +12~15 ninja 3.?% critical chance is better than pounding.

    But, Ktera Ninja's basic dps skill rotation can be diff/ from N/A. N/A doesn't have Talent system. 2->3->fire>auto attack auto attck works best with talent system.

    Before, gunners ran forceful/pounding, but with damage nerfs on several skills, they now rely heavily on burst fire. Apparently, carving gives much more than just the advertised 3% or burst fire -- since gunners now rely heavily on Burst fire for their dps, carving is now the optimal 4th red crystal.

    With the incoming ninja nerfs that especially hit hard on circle of steel, I'd say there would be a heavier focus on Burning heart for dps, and thus carving could be viable again in both priest/mystic setup.
