Well, I’m trying to do something similar (melee/range ninja), and I think the problem may be that the ninja simply peaks very late in the game. I’m getting decent criticals at 15, but the average damage is still pretty poor… Hopefully the light sword will fix that.
Anyway, I think the bottom line is that if you want ranged criticals, you should be using a ranger. If you want melee criticals, you should be using a monk or samurai. And if you want both and you’re willing to wait until late in the game (or you’re willing to use a very small party), then the ninja is the best choice.
