    No other class can do that
    Did they get Trick Attack off on you? Because if they did that was your fault for not sitting in Shadow Flare.

    I'm not usually one to laugh at my enemies in Frontlines, but when I Trick Attack (which has a directional requirement btw OP) and melt a Scholar/Summoner who was just sitting there solo, I can't help myself. Put Shadow Flare down and make Hide irrelevant, and don't hold a flag solo, have someone else hiding off somewhere. Drawing a Ninja in for a 1v1 only to turn it into a 2v1 is the easiest way to deal with them.

    Playing to the same old dynamic when they've just added an entirely new dynamic to Frontlines (a stealth class) is what's getting most people killed by Ninjas and claiming they're overpowered.

    No they used some kinda charge attack (like monk shoulder tackle) when node spawned, and killed me I guess node could've done some damage to me as well, but still no other class could've done that

    Except Monk? Heck, I've done the same thing on Paladin; run around using Stun at the right time so people eat AoE and finishing them off in seconds. For Monk though, Shoulder Tackle, Arm of the Destroyer, Steel Peak is basically the same as Ninjas Overwhelm, Ill Wind, Jugulate. Both are very good at taking down mages, Ninjas only real advantage comes from opening from stealth (which is easy enough to counter) and Raiton, which I do think needs a potency nerf. Mid is really too hectic to base Job balance on though, in my opinion. 1v1 at mid while nodes are up sounds extremely odd to me, unless it was the last set.
