i stop you right there, bard will have the OPTION to switch of gameplay for gain more dps, where ninja is FORCED to use this new positional junk... it's quite different. you will still be able as bard to play you jobs like before, but now, when you don't need to move you will hit harder, for me it's all gain without downside.
on other hand ninja, that was never means to be made for positional fight, now will be changed for be like monk and dragoon... by adding a mechanic that was not means to be there from the start, that a reason of why a lot of player still play ninja even if the mudra lag is frustrating and the most punishing system of the game!
instead to adress our trouble, they add more trouble over it.
like i have said before, give me one reason to play ninja with this change? it will have the same positional system than monk and dragoon, but they will have in plus the most punishing and most affected by the lag system. why people will support this, when monk and dragoon offer more and less trouble? because the new system of chakra for the monk look really interesting and fresh in comparaison. and better no lag or punishement if you mess up.
the dragoon don't seems to get any weird systeme and receive tons of love recently.
soo far, instead to make the jobs evolve and devellop in unique feature.... they did decide to screw it and spit to the face of the people that did support this new type of gameplay. instead to adress our concern, they did decide to create more trouble for us and act like it's normal.
from my standpoint, they have screw badly and need to rethink the change of the ninja, the positional must'nt be the new system of the ninja, develop more the ninjutsu... even with mudra lag, i will have prefer more possibility from the ninjutsu than this.
instead to listen to the ninja community, they did listen the other community jealousing our difference. it's sad and it's our duty to let SE know that we are displease with this decision.
