Trick Attack

[Manofpassion]

Same lmao, I was counting on Sam to pull through if nin gets screwed. The fact both weeb jobs going through the same thing in the same patch is just plain bad luck.

I guess I could go dancer, at least the raid accessories carry over. I think making dancers and bards have the most impactful buffs means more people will play phys ranged now at the very least

[IdowhatIwant]

Well see I guess, if they make Mug just another 5% dmg buff then I might actually consider switching.
If they remove Kaiten too then well...
Ffs................
SAM was my second Job after NIN this exp...
Uh...
I guess I'll switch to RPR or something......

All NIN becomes then is just another DPS only one that shares gear with no one.
I play NIN because I want to be the damage utility DPS, applying TA felt great imo especially on a more regular basis every 60s.
If it's just 5% every 120s then wtf it's just like everyone else then.

Come join me as a MCH, it's been a pretty rough time for a bit.

everything else was more or less expected but what the fuck why did they kill prepull doton

[Manofpassion]

Wow

It really is brothermug

I was hoping trick would be like no mercy and boost damage by 20% at least. Riddle of trick and brother mug are now an actual reality.

Prepull doton wasn't that crazy either, I'm not sure why they removed it. Was anyone crying for its removal?

'' Mug The additional effect "Increases target's damage taken by 5%" has been added with a duration of 20 seconds. ''











...................... BORING.

Also '' Hide Now dispels the effect of Doton upon execution. ''...

BOOOOOOOOO, the Mudra reset in AoE was so much fun ....
They wanted us to not do the opener I guess...
But ffs Mug is so damn boring, NIN is officialy just yet another DPS but also the only one that doesn't share gear with anyone... What's the point...

[Manofpassion]

Mug is just worse brotherhood too. At least brotherhood generates chakras. Mug is just .... mug. Feels like the devs mugged us off kek

[VentVanitas]

Out of all the jobs they chose to make NIN similar to, they chose the melee that doesn't even have an identity for itself.

[aloneatsea]

My expectations going into these patch notes were low and yet I'm still disappointed.

Apparently the chances weren't even for balance. It was just to put everything on a two minute timer.

And the doton removal was because having it in the opener was annoying for tanks.

I... What a big middle finger to ninjas. Jesus.

[Manofpassion]

I guess tbf the average tank in pf doesn't even know how to turn on tank stance, much less pull the boss into doton

But the damage isn't that crazy, so why remove that small optimisation? Feels like square is saying “you will only have fun my way” now

[aloneatsea]

I can't even think of an optimisation left in NIN now. Optimising Aeolian vs Phantom in your opener based on whether Doton was possible, and drifting Mug into Trick to gain more Bhavas under Trick.

Neither of these are possible anymore. I guess you just hit buttons on cooldown and the job plays itself.
