Could have SE unknowing set FFXIV to fail....

[SpookyGhost]

Most warriors I know use Storm's Eye themselves so really all nin does bring to the table is that whopping 10 second debuff.

That 10% debuff is pretty substantial at the start when all CDs are available, and pretty much every time after.

Also, y'know, Goad.

That said, I don't think NIN rises to the level of BRD in terms of utility, as it isn't a utility based job.

Name one job not accepted in end-game content.

Though this has been addressed many times and to be fair this job would actually do fine in end game provided the player has more i120/i130 gear, DRGs are being forced to switch to MNK or NIN for FCoB progression. Some have made it to t13, but I don't think any have passed it just yet. Also there was the entirety of 2.0 where many WARs were excluded from Coil.
