NIN Suggested Change - Forked/Fleeting Raiju
Good morning Eorzeans. This is probably my first post in years, but I have seen quite the response to my favorite job Ninja and the complaints of Forked and Fleeting Raiju. As many have already gone in-depth on the clunky mechanics of these abilities. I won’t recount the problems as I feel you get one 1 point for a problem and 10 points for a solution. So I have come with a recommendation as to how to fix these abilities.
My recommendation is that you leave the stacking buffs alone and instead of having 3 charges for a total of 6 abilities that cannot be broken for fear of losing the buffs is that you simply allow the use of one forked and one fleeting Raiju and the stacked buff impacts the potency for a harder hitting finisher at the end of the trick window. Also the stacking buff doesn’t fall off if you use abilities it just stacks to a maximum of 3 with a buff timer that will fall off if you don’t use it. This way you can still weave in Aeolian Edge between Raitons and it would allow for a buffed up potency forked and fleeting Raiju to fit inside the trick window.
Just a thought. Hope everyone is doing well. Stay safe and stay healthy!
