When Square Enix releases a popular job into Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn that just so happens to be a DPS job. Duty queues reach over an hour and we lowly Ninja then have to resort to ancient levelling tactics like FATE grinding.
The only thing is, Ninja aren't the tanks we were in FFXI so we must run like the wind while slicing our foe.. literally.. running like hell..
Enjoy

Watch with annotations to see the altered version of the video "The ill FATE of a Chocobo"

I don't care about the Rogue at the end.
THE POOR CHOCOBO AT 0:15! IT WAS INNOCENT. AND YOU MONSTERS TRAMPLED OVER IT. -

I did my last 4 Atmas last night with my PLD, and I completly relate to that video.
The number of Ninjas waiting for me to engage was so high that it made me feel like a superhero protecting a bunch of powerless and frail beings.
A few of them even started a boss FATE a bit early by themselves and sent me a pm saying "Help me!" when I was nearby and their HP bar was dropping super fast.
I think that, for the first time, I really felt like a true Paladin.
Fear not, weaklings! I'm here to save youuuuu! -

I can't wait to see fresh meat ninjas in dungeons and raids at level 50. This WHM is going to need a lot of pills for the oncoming migraines.

it gets better when they're all 30 and Fuma Shurikens start spamming every 20 seconds. Since it does more damage than assassinate, the HP drops of bosses gets hilarious.

Mines only level 5 but it feels like a monk I even used haymaker for a cross skill. I hope it gets better no scrub that I hope it's different.
-
10-29-2014, 10:32 PMkyuvenAs a level 32 ninja, lemme assure you it's QUITE different from monk. First of all, we run faster, and can do flips!Quote:

I'm excited to grind FATE's again. I managed to get in the first 20 levels yesterday in spite of having to work all day. It's about time to get some friends together and trade dungeon runs though--I don't want to wait until end-game to learn to play ROG/NIN effectively.

That video looks the same as a video from Sept of 2013. DPS (1 of 5 classes/jobs) claims mob(s) and kites around, typically dies.
My Rogue is only 27 atm. I've been doing a mix of leves, hunt log, and FATEs. 30+ I will be doing Dungeons, likely pre-formed.
The biggest thing I saw yesterday was Rogues 2-3 lvls above me doing the same levequest as me. On the same difficulty (mob lvls were the same), with a Choco and just getting destroyed.
At least there is Trial and Error in doing Leves and Dungeons. The FATE grinds for many players will hurt them in the long run. Again, nothing really new. -
10-29-2014, 10:46 PMkyuvenNinja ARE a melee class, let's not kid ourselves. They have more options for ranged attacks than Monk or Dragoon, but the vast majority of their abilities are meant to be done right in the enemy's face.Quote:

In fact sneak attack hits harder from the FRONT of the mob (if you're wondering about the logic behind that, remember how most of your important bits are in the front of your body), but most ninja will be using Trick Attack in group situations for the debuff. -

well for one monk completely sucks so far with playing ninja ive notice one negative about it
and i love ninja so far its my favoirt dps but i cant stand pug/monk one bit
Hide disables when some party memebers go into combat making most of are sneak combos kinda worthless -
10-30-2014, 11:15 AMDenzelTaruMNK is my only class not above 15 i really don't like it.. i don't even think i will bother levelling it for its cross classes lol.. i do love NIN though, so people saying its the same are mistakenQuote:

I was joining FATEs with these new ninjas all day yesterday and I gotta say it was hilarious.

early level FATE running the morning of Rogue's release was a reminder of Assassin from Fate/ Zero. So much so people spotting a FATE pop on my server would say "Rogue army, attack this FATE! " and thus a horde of innumerable dagger wielding little death machines would descend upon the poor FATE like hungry locust.
-
10-30-2014, 04:47 PMNoshpanI was leveling Rogue to 15 yesterday, and I did FATEs whilest doing Hunting logs. I cannot say how many times that I have been thankful for a timely rescue from a Paladin or Warrior or Titan Egi.Quote:

Ninja were 'tanks' in XI because of one or two spells that, should they ever not be active, would result in a very messy corpse. Ninja had the HP and defense of a Thief, and Thieves in XI were definitely not tanks. As for rogues Fate grinding... inevitable. But if you used your cross-classes wisely you'd be able to... hmm, nah, keep running.

I love the Ninja and can't wait to level it, but right now is the best time to level a tank or a healer! I get insta queues!

10-31-2014, 02:07 AMShake0615If only the Dark Knight job was already released then you could macro "I AM THE BATMAN!" every time you rolled in to help :PQuote:
