2.41 patch, Ninja nerf for the Ninjas and Dungeons.

Ninja isn't supposed to be a burst DPS, I'm not sure why it feels like it is.

I love you.

the only thing about ninja i can say with absolute certainty that needs to be changed is the fact that dancing edge is currently not restricted by flanking/not flanking status when it says it is in the description.

What else do you call a class that spikes its damage output every 20 seconds or so?

It... Isn't?

Stealth roles are almost always burst DPS... I guess we could have a Job that goes invisible and tickles an enemy to death slowly, though.

Not in PvP. I'd actually call Black Mage the weakest Job in PvP at the moment.

I would have said so awhile ago maybe too..

but i can say that i almost are able to defeat every class in 1vs1. tell that a drg to kill a scholar easily in 1vs1.

oh right ninja is a tank i forgot about it.

You know that in every MMO assassins are used to be melee glass canons? less HP, less defense, melee range.. stealth attacks and incredibly high DPS.

thats called a trade of.. and balance..

Wtf . . . Says who?

Wtf . . . Says who?

Says the person who doesn't know what DOTs and Poisons do.

having DoTs=/=not burst.
Every single class in the game has DoTs. If not having or having few DoTs is a qualification for being a burst damage class, the only ones that qualify are the tank classes.
Also poisons? Um, they're just a toggle that increases DPS by 20% and changes the effects of one of the ninja's abilities. They're what ninja get in place of the likes of greased lightning, heavy thrust, etc.
