Why is Ninja the only melee that doesn't have a gap closer skill?

[LeeraSorlan]

Machinist has the most freedom of movement out of all the classes because they largely don't auto attack and can literally just walk away facing away from the boss and summoner can sprint. The only ones without real movement capabilities are pali and war.

yea and have a dps loss because ur not attacking? can say that about every class..just run away!!

Y'know, with the amount people talk about *buzzword* homogenization, people seem to like melting all the classes together. It's okay that Ninjas don't have a gap closer. You guys are still loved.

You're more about stealth. It makes sense that your current "gap-closer-skill" doesn't target like ours does, so you can use it silently.

Though honestly I'd prefer shoulder tackle over either of the DRG of NIN's abilities.

Why doesn't MNK have a ranged attack to pull mobs to them instead of being forced to run into the swarm?

Why doesn't WAR have a shield so they can block as well as parry attacks like PLD?

Why doesn't WHM have any party utility like SCH and AST?

Because jobs have this novel thing called "differences."

We do if you count Howling Fist. what is it, like 7 yalms? <_< I use it SOMETIMES to attack from a slight range, so I can do SOMETHING while walking to the target.

Warps you to target in a very close to ability queue amount of time. If no target it gives you the place option.

Because an assassin supposed to have an ability to rush to the target and attack?

I'd argue an assassin is supposed to have an ability to sneak to the target and attack.

It's a shame that "Hide" is such a missed opportunity. Or even bonus damage from an attack during Hide.

Having the gap closer has a stealth ability with SA, TA and give the flavor of an ambush where you just jumb to your unaware target to get the first strike could be ok. now just need to tweak the range to be a bit greater than bosses true sigh range otherwise it's useless (maybe have to reduce the range in pvp)
