    I don't think I've ever come across a mob on NIN I felt i needed to be out of AoE range on.

    Granted i Generally low man with ~4 people max and am the tank as such...

    Also, Shuriken's Sweet spot is literally Melee range, If you're out of AoE range your Shuriken damage is going to blow chunks too.

    I know throwing is sorta a weird wet dream, but the entire concept sucks, back at 75 there might have been a use for it, but at 90~99 Where a NIN has so much Dual wield/Haste gear, Throwing anything short of God-Winds is going to just hurt your DPS, and even then it probably still will.

    I don't think i can even think of a proper comparison between NIN and Throwing being useless and another job/another ability.

    I'm very open minded when it comes to adjustments, But i'm with Wish on this one, If you want adjustments to NIN, don't think about Shuriken... It works well for RNG cause thats rngs "Thing" and even they're kinda boned cause there is no Haste/March for Ranged attacks.

    So unless we're given Easily accessible Shuriken with "Snapshot+50" and DMG:200+ Its not going to make it useful.

    Ninja does not need to be far to get bonus from throwing we still get the squarely bonus(not the max) if you move just a bit back in still able to hit the mob with katana's. I doubt most ninja know this... also not saying anything negative towards you whats so ever just stating what I know playing ninja =)

    This is unbelievable. I'm talking about Improving something that has gone bad. Never once did I say that Throwing at this very moment is any good. But it seems to be the trend to just toss out and do away with a key feature ability (NIN has had throwing since the conception of the Final Fantasy Series) of this particular job. Im knocking my head against the wall...

    Ninja's Throw Things.

    Improve Throwing itself, don't get rid of it.


    Done.
