Rejoice ninjas!

Why one should be rewarding and another should be just ignored? Because you like one and not the other?

Ninjutsu IS rewarded. Like I said earlier, Ninja boasts the highest potency in ability damage.

This certainly isn't about me liking Monk or Dragoon either. Ninja is my favorite Job in this game currently, I'm simply under no allusions that Ninjutsu are difficult to pull off, or that the base rotation is in any way a problem.

its rewarded if you input correctly. mess up a ninjutsu, and you get your rabbit. kinda like how when you dont hit flank and dont get ht, except you can keep trying for HT for as long as you want.(dps loss on both ends)

If ninja make mistakes with ninjutsu, his dps is just obliterated. Be it Huton, Raiton or Suiton. It's a part of job - to either know how to keep GL on you or never make a mistake with jutsu.

I'd really love to know how you're both messing up a simple 1 2, or 1 2 3 ability combo, I really would... Sadly, I've reached my idiotic daily post limit though.

It's a part of job - to either know how to keep GL on you or never make a mistake with jutsu.

This specifically though... You lose Greased Lightning when a mob decides to bugger off. When a mob decides to bugger off you do not suddenly hit Ten Ten Ten and get a Rabbit Medium.

To everybody in this thread defending ninja, you come across as somebody who wants to see nerfs because you are making arguments about how easy the job is due to lack of positional requirements, it's as simple as that.

I suggest you all brush up on your reading comprehension then, because "Ninja is easy to play" =/= "Nerf Ninja!" or "Make Ninja harder!". I'm not going to take the blame for others assuming I want, again, what is my favorite Job, changed.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm getting all this heat for daring not to play on dial up so that Ninjutsu combinations end up being easy for me to achieve...

Also, if the boss 'buggers off' while I'm in the middle of casting raiton, I'm screwed for 20 seconds.

I doubt you'll see this (seriously SE, why do we have a daily post limit? christ...), but pro tip; Always do Jin > Chi for Raiton. If the mob buggers off you can just add Ten and get Huton and adjust your Ninjutsu rotation accordingly (Huton > Suiton > Raiton becomes Huton > Raiton > Sution, for example). Most of the time a mob jumps its a predictable mechanic, though.
