Request for Utsusemi

[Dawiichan]

Or don't add Utsusemi at all and just give bard an AoE Blink. I loved Ninja and all but I can see why it shouldn't be added in the same way that it was in XI. Maybe make it an EVA buff or reduced dmg buff for a certain number of hits, but make it class restricted on an actually DD... (Thinks of Ninja)

Idk how long you played XI but pld was pretty much the go to tank for everything. Except maybe exp pt's that's all.

PLD with a NIN sub lol.

[Xoo]

At any rate, everyone is totally ignoring the one-sentence whole of the OP. Instantly, like a flash, we're back in FFXI and talking /NIN. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE SUBJOBS IN FFXIV.

[Andrien]

no or else the kitty gets it.

PLD was the go-to tank for linkshells that didn't have a NIN tank that was well geared, and for the very few NMs that hit like a Mack truck and required a tank with high HP and defense.

And even for those, PLD/NIN was an exceedingly common tank. FFXI's NIN job saw more love and overpowered skills than any class in any MMO I've played.

No lol PLD was the go to tank for all end game nin had to little hp and pld could cast ustu better than nin cause its passive trait which is when you block you cant get spell interrupt.. I played main tank for 6 years endgame and only seen nin tanks around early 2005 XI after that it was all pld/nin.

No thanks.

Kage bunshin no jutsu go !

[AmandaHuggenkiss]

Will someone please think of the kittens!

That wasn't the point, Utsusemi was broken and it should never be implemented in any MMO ever, people were just elaborating how broken it was in FFXI.

Blood tanking or evasion tanking. The situation/enemy decided.

90% of content was placed into easy-mode with an evasion tank and medium/hard mode with a blood tank, 10% vice versa. Come on man, use your brain for once.

Possibly nobody wanted to level Paladin, and equally as possible that many had already done so.

Are you serious?

Ninja 5.43%, Paladin 3.83%.

Don't come up with bulls**t 50-50 statistics and false dichotomies.

Was Paladin not even easier to tank with? Flash > Provoke? Sounds pretty technical!

Irrelevant, what decided the importance of a tank in FFXI was how much damage they took over time. NIN beat the crap out of PLD for practically everything except some really serious HNMs.

Somehow I seriously doubt this, because for everything except Cerberus/Tiamat/Vrtra/PW/[insert 5 hour long HNM here], people grabbed NINs to tank.
