The Problems With Ninja In Endwalker

[Kreyd]

Our combined 1200 + 1350 potency damage over the change this is now, 1680. Even just the single instance of raiton cast 560 versus 400+450 just seems like a decrease in damage output to me.

You're comparing 6gcd's vs 3gcd's here. Don't forget that after your 3 Forked/Fleeing Raiju you proceed with your Aeolian combo, so it's actually 1200+ 1350 before the patch vs. 1680 + 900 after the patch.

I already miss how the animations were always paired together.

Don't know why they increased the duration of the buff when it still goes away when you use anything else, I'm pretty sure that was all that was being asked of the skill.

[Cyrexs]

Do you know for sure they go away after using it now? Have you used it yet? Trying t figure this out

[Jaygue]

For the buff on bunshin i like it, it's a good change for me and we neeed that (but maybe more potency on kamaitachi).

But on raiju, i really dont understand... now we have 2 buttons for no reason, except to do a dash on the boss but who care...i wont use a raiton to dash on boss...without exception.
30s stacks yeah... to loose it when u do ur 1 2 3 combo, they really dont understand the raiju spells... I am a bit mad :/

Love the bunshin change but the raiju change almost feels worst to me. It does solve the attacking while binding and max melee issues but I liked the animation of them back to back. My main issue was it breaking from weapon skills which many felt would also solve that issue and keep the cool animations but now that you dont have 2 to do forked then fleeting it feels less cool to me and underwhelming after doing it on a target dummy, and now I have a extra button to use for only said issue, and it still breaks on another weap skill use but its only one GCD now lost instead.....I dont know, I'll take it to an instance and see how it feels on a boss later.

[VentVanitas]

Yeah, this Raiju change ain't it. It's just unnecessary bloat and being only able to use only one of them feels worse. I hope they revert it in 6.1.

[Cyrexs]

What? Hell no. If they revert it back I’m done with nin.

[Jaygue]

What? Hell no. If they revert it back I’m done with nin.

why ? the raiju change isnt good, it's good for you ?

[Cyrexs]

It’s not prefect but it’s SO much better than before. Being able to choose to use a gap closer or not makes it actually playable again. I’m honestly surprised to see people saying they want it changed back because they whole reason the changed it this patch was because everyone hated it. The only thing they need to do now is make it so it isn’t cancelled by the 1,2,3 combo.
