red ninja needs buffs, badly.

it is a bit much to say to the general playerbase you need to spam shurikens or suck

Ok, but for low levels, it's true.

Let's be honest with ourselves here...NIN was NEVER meant to be a tank from SE design. It was meant to be a DD played as a DD. Yes to play it "Correctly" it requires a good deal of money loss in order to keep tools and such in supply. However, regardless of that fact, it is still true that NIN was meant for DD'ing, NOT tanking. It was the player base that utilized it as such. Yes it's possible to tank I've done it well, but again it's because of what had been touched on before, the use of magic tools and a THF and everyone in the party working together.

I'm not sure arguing that NIN is meant to be a DD not a tank matters in an environment where the best DD is the tank.

What..... the fuck?!?!?!?

I think its worth noting now that there is 55-60 lesser camps in both bhaflau thickets and wajaom woodlands, but ya the jin ws comment is out there.

I been wondering though, what is a red ninja?

It's best not to question such nonsense, and just pretend it didn't happen.

Clearly their complaint is the fact Ninja is unable to perform REAL SOVIET DAMAGE.

just use the slow / para / blind tools

they really do help in keeping shadows up. and your healer can concentrate on keeping people healed.

He didn't say anything about east r s. I would agree though at east r s I would prefer nin tank over pld cause they barely take any damage oit there. At 55+ is where things get messy. Melee DD don't know how to play. They put nin in parties with 4 crazy high dps DD and exspect a nin to hold hate when they ws as soon as the fight starts. Everyone wants to tp burn @ 55 and it just doesn't work with nin tank without thf properly. Dd eat magic p creating downtime or some dies. It works with pld but even they loose hate when you have rng ws for 1k.
