[dev1107] Sange Update - Why?

[wish12oz]

Gahahaha.... Remember me?


Still at it, eh guys? Poor Vixen, now he/she is the punching bag for your super fast melee swings.

Welcome to four months ago.

But how is this relevent? I've read the arguments for and against, the arguments 'for' seem to be people reserving it for certain situations and agreeing that it still needs a boost. Whilst the 'against' is based on mathematics. But what I think really should speak for itself is how successful an individual is playing as a Ninja - are these people who find sange preferable playing their job well?

Anyone using throwing as opposed to not throwing is going to be doing, at best, half the damage the none-thrower is. And since Ninja is a DD job, I would say they're not playing it well.

If it's someone who is using sange to somehow try and increase their damage.... They're losing important pieces of gear to have that throwing set and shurikens in their inventory, to do less damage than they otherwise could be doing. My ninja is kinda gimp at this point, and I still require to much gear for it to even consider having a throwing set. So I would classify that as playing poorly as well.

If they're playing their part in the group and decide to use sange for whatever reason they desire and everything is going well, I don't see a problem. I don't think currently that it's useful as a primary attack, but I don't suspect that anybody would be using it as a primary attack, but they might view it as something useful when the enemy goes out of range as somebody has suggested. Mathematically it might not be the best thing to do, but it's one area where a person might wish to make use of their sange if they preferred and I would have no problem with that. If I'm grouped I want it to be successful but I also want people to have fun, if playing about in a style they prefer suits them and we still walk out successfully I wouldn't suggest they're doing a bad job and I am happy.

If how they're playing poses any problems, then I'd make suggestions on how they can improve so whatever we're doing is not a failiure. I personally wouldn't use sange myself, but then I prefer sticking to meleeing on my NIN and would rather use any funds on ammo for COR & RNG or on tools for NIN.
