Dragoon buffs and Ninja nerfs coming Dec 9th in patch 2.45

If anything, dragoon buff will be underwhelming

Would be so damn disappointed if that's the case by patch day. We really need a huge boost, namsayin'?

[whiskeybravo]

Yea I wish Yoshi would spill the beans about DRG changes too

[LunarEmerald]

For those unaware, this means that your kisses will no longer boost your ninjutsu damage. Ninjutsu is magical.

[Bien]

So are they removing the flank requirement for dancing edge damage boost?

[Tilgung]

There never was a flank requirement. NA translation error. We've known this since before NIN was released. >_>

[Bien]

I see, I didn't know that. If it was "known" before release, how did it make it to the tooltip in-game? >_>

I wonder why people are so upset about the nerf. It doesn't look that bad. When I hit 2k raitons, I always thought to myself "this needs a nerf".

I think once people know this is what the nerf is they will be less upset. The general issue was people assuming the worst when told that NIN was getting nerfed.

I for one was never really upset about the incoming nerf, but I *was* wary and worried they'd take it too far. However, on first glance, the nerf seems small enough that it shouldn't affect my enjoyment of the class. I can't tell how much I'll feel the TP nerf until I get to try it, but the DPS nerf is small enough to not bother me.

[KariArisu]

Still not sure why NIN needed a nerf. MNK is still the best DPS in the game by far and nobody is whining about that.

The nerf was still unnecessary concidering there is a class that has always been topping ST DPS and still remains supreme while getting away untouched.
I saw mostly Dragoons cry about Ninjas outdoing them, I guess it became too much for them to be in the shadow of not only one melee but two.
I was actually amazed by how balanced Ninjas where, they have nice burst and good sustained damage while being slightly behind the monk in ST.
