RIP Ninja

[whiskeybravo]

Sorry, but I have to lol at nin complaining about positional requirements.. Seriously. If you don't want them then go play a bard or caster or tank or healer.. MNK and DRG have had them the whole time.. There's still plenty of MNK and DRG out there, isn't there? Hitting a positional is a rewarding challenge, there is not challenge to stand in one spot and mash buttons. What a lazy attitude lol


Anyways.. Maybe they'll change goad, maybe not. As selfish as most NIN seem to be acting about their positionals, then they'd prolly just be selfishly using it on themselves the whole time anyways lol. I also doubt the enmity reduction ability will be able to troll tanks, there's no need to reduce enmity of the top target, really, only the gap between 1st and 2nd in aggro, or maybe it will have a stipulation such as "has no effect on tank jobs". It will be a niche use ability, no doubt, but us DRG and MNK will love it when you help us not pull off the tanks since we are gonna be so OP :P

(yes, that was a cheap shot lol)

The whole point of this is not to enrage you guys, just want to point out, it's so early, with little information being released. Why get all worked up over it before it actually comes out? I doubt NIN is going to become the red headed stepchild of FFXIV, if anything that's where SMN is heading.. xD

Naw just more of a slap to the face here have some positionals screw what we said about almost no positionals and making up with it for ninjutsu screw making it technical instead of positional we take back what we said and here have some more useless utility oh and enjoy another nerf to goad.(yes i know we have no clue what the abilties are that are coming for sure just from what we've heard I look at it all in a anything can change way. they could change goad completely and make it better)

Instead we get a dps right now that equals monk doesn't have but 2 positionals has mudra lag has people posting parse on dummies causing buthurt crybaby monks(not most of the monk just the really retarded ones) to bitch on the forums about the moment speed buff ninja has (gg no good ninja really cares about it you can have it and please take the less fall damage trait as well) yes i agree monk should be top dps as of now(not so if the new mechanics make GL retard easy though and how does this matter when you compare dps.)

TLDR: Say fuck the positionals fix mudra lag and make ninjas more technical instead of positional. no postionals will not ruin the class but you damn well sure better not be bitching when ninjas end up either tied with monk or overtake monks because SE goes full retard at the start of the expansion and over compensate buffs instead of balancing all 3 melee.

Even if they add one or two positional, they will likely be still less positional heavy than DRG and MNK.

could care less about the positionals i play all 3 melee. If i wanted to play monk or dragoon i'd play those 2 give me a more technical melee not a 3rd positional melee.

This was clearly their attempt at putting their best foot forward for each class and drawing people in; their big announcement! And draw they did because almost every class now has a badass stance that allows them to unleash a new tier of hell. Except Ninja who will now look and feel a lot like the v2.X classes in comparison.

I am going to assume if there was any better news for the Ninja it would have been there in this video. Just to make the Ninja section somewhat less of a trainwreck.

People come to expansions in hopes of seeing their class evolve or gain new levels of badass and not to be told "hey everyone else got something but not you because that class is newer so you don't deserve anything good."

Being told that your getting minor QoL changes and an extra raiton in exchange for positional requirements on your total DPS, isn't what people were expecting or hoping for and so a lot of people are rightfully disappointed.
