Trick Attack

[rewd]

You are mistaken.
I do speedkills.
I optimize.
I perform at a very high level.
I cleared TEA on NIN back in ShB when the content was actually hard and required optimization.
My logs are public.
Do not be condecending.

You can still optimize while not having your job be gimped early in the tier. This changes nothing about NIN at all. You still use TA every minute. You just get a new buff you need to keep track off. If anything this ups the skill ceiling of the job, while bringing up the base damage.


I perform better at NIN than most of the people in this thread, if they even play the job AT ALL- which most seems to not be the case for a lot of these complainers. Pray excuse me if I don't take some people's criticism seriously regarding a job they do not play, as they tell me how I'm supposed to feel about a job I've sunk thousands of hours into.

Patchnotes aren't even out and people are acting like they got their favorite toy away from them.

Being the lowest DPS in your category early tier, being compensated by "oh but for speedkills you're great!" isn't healthy. Speedkills are nieche enough as is, and isn't relevant until everyone has their BiS. Or you know, just bring MNK who functions well early tier, aswell as later on.

EDIT:
This isn't a change made to "dumb down" NIN- it's a balancing patch to bring them in line with other jobs in terms of how they scale.
The devs have decided to put everything on a 2 min buff rotation. We can complain all we want about that specifically, but that doesn't change the fact that, well, we're all just bursting at 2 min now. Bringing NIN in line was expected.

I'm not mistaken, you don't express yourself properly. If you do speedruns, then you shouldn't ask yourself what's the point of doing more DPS once you get the clear, otherwise getting a clear represents the end of your gameplay (which as I have already say, it's valid).

I'm glad you perform better than most, it's still not relevant to the discussion. And also no one said this is "dumbing down" the job. I'm apparently condescending but you say that you don't take people's criticism unless they are XY good and you think that's normal. Good to know.

Ah yes, I almost forgot. Let's wait until patch notes (that won't have anything in it that will change minds). Next, we will wait until 6.2. Then 6.3 Then, *checks note* we will wait until the new expansion. Then the Media Tour, then...

Following your logic, they should also remove cards. You play one at odd minutes. This isn't 120s, so it needs to go. Moreover, AST depends on other players, so cards are a huge no-no. There, we also reduced how busy AST feels for everyone that doesn't like it. You like how busy it felt? Uh, idk, you'll find something else.
