Fixes to Current Ninja Job

If this is the case, then you're doing it wrong.

I'm currently leveling Ninja. I just hit level 65 yesterday. I've never had a problem holding hate against DD's in the party. So I don't know what you're talking about here.

As far as "Q.Q it wastes too much gil to level Ninja Q.Q" - then don't level it.

Has nothing to do with 'doing it wrong,' you see that's the lovely part about anecdotes, you leave out those wonderful things called variables. You know, as if in you have a PL, where you sync, your squadmates, etc. Saying 'I can do this' without anything other than 'because I said I can' is evidence of nothing. Without a good thf I don't believe you would have any chance in Hades keeping aggro against a well armed SAM, WAR, or DRG using Penta Thrust out in Wajaom or Bhaflau.

^^^agreed. I have a hard time feeling sorry for nins when abyssea has clearly allowed them to usurp the tanking role almost entirely, relegating paladins to "no thanks" jobs for most situations.

To be fair, Paladin was already sorta-kinda heading that way to begin with.



Also, gil is hard to get? Wat?

We also went over how low level ninja outparses every other job, and is an amazing tank in the thread you made complaining about it:

start from there, you can't miss it.

Just because new people don't understand how to tank on ninja doesn't mean it's a bad tank. It means those people should learn how to tank on it, or go play something else. I hear monk is pretty popular right now, maybe you could play it and beg people to help you get verthrangna (or however you spell it) and black belt. OR! better yet, just make a new sock puppet account and pretend to have them and tell people how awesome you are.

Move to ifrit right now and I will buy low lvl ninja gears and you can play whatever you want and I'll show you how to tank, k?
