LMAO.

A nerf on NIN? That class required people to actually play good to pull out DPS, otherwise they were useless. I'm okay with DRG getting buffs to bring you up to par, but getting another melee class nerfed because they required just as much effort to keep up that DPS? Whoever caused this has lost all respect from me. The bar is set really high for NIN, unless you have a good rotation and can keep it going (most NIN I see do not), you are not going to get that high DPS. They have to work just as hard as MNK and DRG for their high DPS, and now they're going to have lower DPS for it. What's next, nerfing MNK so DRG can stay top?

Were there any specifics on stoneskin II or was it just mentioned?

[HakuroDK]

New DRG LB:

I can see the tp nerf on ninjas, but Potency nerf? wtf, monks are still top dps right now, why the hell change potency? specially with dragoon buffs coming ninjas will be the lowest melee. GG SE, GG.

They going to make ninja fight with bards I can see it now "you suck the bard doing more damage then you"

[Amelia_Pond_Behemoth]

It'd be annoying to have ss2 take another hotkey slot... I think it should just be a trait D:

Or replace SS1 instead.

[Diana_Pepper]

Extremely thrilled for the DRG buffs!

Though, I still must endure one final week of Kaliya... T_T

[Naelle]

I'd speculate that stoneskin II aoe will be added to the granite skin trait but only work out of combat. It's killing me not knowing.

Well I've always thought that "MNK is higher DPS than NIN" more of people talking out of their rear instead of doing actual tests, considering people started saying that from day 1, perhaps SE has a real number.

Or they're doing something completely silly, we have no way of telling...until after the patch is out. Though as we all know, it'll take them until 2.5 or 2.55 to rectify it if it was a mistake.
