Ninja needs its knees broken

[Llynethil]

Completely moot points as you can preuse shield, do high ranged damage while taking almost 0 damage yourself to make them lose a bunch of hp and force recovery spam (which should be what ranged physicals should be for), then jump in with hard stun and do high melee burst damage and kill something while you still have your 4 charges of spam recover up then run away while still having an extra healing ontop of it if need be.

You don't need all that survivability, your job is basically like that of a jungler in a moba, you wait for someone else to engage, then you go in and assassinate the main threat, and get back out.
Why ff14 players don't get this is beyond me, and it's the very reason why they added rediculous bloated kits like that of ninja and ideas like the dr's in frontline, because the playerbase overall doesn't get what their role is supposed to be in anything non pve related.
