RIP Ninja

[DoctorPepper]

Have to agree that I'm not a fan of the ninja changes either.

Not sure why they would throw us a useless ability that reduces aggro, the way I see it is if a monk and dragoon don't pull aggro with higher dps, then a ninja certainly won't either. I've played ninja a lot and aside from the odd time where I attacked the boss too quickly before the tank had it in place or pulled a single monster off of an under geared tank in a dungeon I've never had issues with pulling aggro. Other people may not agree but I think the enmity reducing ability is useless and unnecessary.

Additionally I'm not too fond of the positionals but I honestly can't say I'm surprised about those. Every other melee job has them so it was only a matter of time.

Imagine not having to wait for that.

Really, though, if we're going to define "useless" to mean "will never be used if everything goes right," then we might as well get rid of Resurrection and Raise, too. Why would you need such useless abilities? The DPS just need to not stand in the fire, or the tank just needs to pop CDs. Get rid of Mage's Ballad and Army's Paeon, too. Healers should be able to manage their MP, and DPS can just wait a moment if they're running low on TP.

Exactly, Ninja has more Burst damage compared to MNK and DRG. What this new ability does is allows Ninja to just go ham at the start of the fight and not wait for the tank to grave hate. Better yet a good NIN can do the whole spreading the dmg across enemies and if x enemy that is on the tank starts to grow more hatred towards you one ability and bam you just gave the hate of all targets on you to the tank.

Or the healer... *giggles mischievously*
