Rejoice ninjas!

You wont be getting nerfed and I don't know why people were expecting a change in a x.x1 patch.

IF for whatever reason you're getting nerfed it will be during a x.x5 or x.x8 patch.

But as I stated that will probably not happen.

They are going to increase DRG's potencies to make them the burst melee they should be and move on.

Just make Dragoons able to cross class skills with Rogues instead of Marauders, utility problem solved. Think about it. You get Perfect Dodge AND Goad (and Death Blossom, but nobody cares about 60 potency AOE). You just gotta hit that perfect dodge before hitting jump. 8D

People had a hard time telling the difference between Shadow Fang and Dancing Edge? o_o

I never confused those two.

I never confused those two.

I can see how they'd be confusing (especially for console players who're likely to be further from their monitor), but what I don't get is why people needed to get confused by them...

The only icon I ever check for is "Has the Warrior put Storm's Eye up?", other than that Ninjas rotation is such that I never really needed to check if Shadow Fang/Mutilate/Dancing Edge were wearing off beyond initially learning the Job.

glad to see ninjas didnt get a nerf after all. Was hoping drg would get their buffs tho

This patch wasn't for class changes.

Just wait til 2.45. Drg buffs and NIN nerfs are still incoming

Except you have nothing at all to base your claims on. DRG buffs were confirmed by a dev, NIN nerfs have not been confirmed by anybody aside from the wannabe future tellers.

it really feels like some people want ninja doing same/less damage than bards.

I have no idea why, the job is still decades harder to perform properly than bard or either of the casters. Ninja isn't even top dps, monk is, so after DRG buffs when NIN goes down to third place maybe people will stop whining.

i dont think ninja will move to third. if anything, dragoon and ninja will be about the same dps wise, with mnk being slightly higher sustained.

then again, people somehow fail to see the differences between them. mnk has a slow start, but stable damage once peak is reached.
ninja has no real ramp up time with spikes and group dmg boost.
dragoon has small ramp up with bigger spikes, higher health and defence.(poor magic defence)
