The Ninja Superthread

[Krissey]

I'm beginning to grow Weary of Ninja. It feels exactly like old school feral druid to me: Dancing Edge = Mangle, Shadow Fang = Shred, Mutilate = RIP, Huiton = Savage Roar.

Juggling the debuffs, dots, and buffs while trying to fit in your nuke filler (Aolean Edge = Ferocious Bite) is exhausting. There's no breathing room, it feels like you can't make a single mistake or your damage suffers cripplingly. However unlike the Feral Druid, which was tedious enough as is, we have to weave in all these extra oGCD cooldowns and abilities (Ninjitsus, Jug, Mug, DwD, Duality, etc..)

This seems to be the world all Melee live in at the moment. Dragoon is equally as punishing with how tight BotD makes our rotation and the requirement to hit double oGCDs per GCD, and MNK is still dependent on GL3 and everything that entails.

That said melee is still king of the hill, although SMN is breathing down our necks.

P.S: bonus points for being an ex-Feral

Except as feral you had a lot of time to just sit there and auto attack while your energy pooled enough to use abilities.
