2.41 patch, Ninja nerf for the Ninjas and Dungeons.

[Tonkra]

Ninja should be nerfed, at least in Frontlines.

Ninja is the LEAST class which i really bother about in PVP..

i dont know what should be so "overpowered" about ninjas.

As a blm i need about 4 spells to kill them.. i just can sleep, slow them.. and thats about them.
Magic shield grunts me an instant "stoneskin" against magic damage like raiton.


For me as a caster Bards are much more of a danger than Ninjas are.. (instant ranged attacks that rupt)
i myself think ninja is incredibly weak if you ask me^


I remember Dark Age of Camelot where assassins ripped off about 60% HP with one single stealth attack.. that was the trade of for just wearing leather and having low HP. in FFXIV the stealth attack steels me just around 15-20% HP wohoo..
and the fire AEO of Ninja is completely gimped as well, especially if you have that long recast time in mind.. i dont think ninjas need a nerf. they should be glass canons. right now they are more glass than canons if you ask me.

Raiton is the main issue

Raiton does not make much more damage as the third skill of a melee skill chain.

Plus you have to have in mind, that raiton has a long reuse time.. and you need to perform 3 clicks in a row which takes about 2 s..
as a blm i do definatley more damage with one fire spell that has about 3 s cast time and no re-use timer.

Raiton has to make more damage than one single melee attack skill to be even worth to cast it..

if you lower the damage and range it is almost as useless as shuriken and the fire aeo.

the fire aeo is just usefull when you want to hit about 4-5 enemies at the same time. but the damage itself is laughable.


just to show you how an assassin in Dark Age of Camelot used to be, damage wise:
