If NIN was given a change of role...!

Give NIN more support skills
At the moment NIN is the only dex job that is not a DPS/Support job

Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting the meaning of a support skill, but you have;

Stun, Silence, Decrease slashing resist, Increase damage taken, Reduce HP recovery via healing magic, Heavy, Bind, Slow. And ofc Goad.

I think that might be more than any other job?

We don't have a heavy or a slow, which are the same thing anyway.

Our stun and silence are the same skill so you can't have both.

Unless you mean PvP, in which case we have a gap closer stun, along with a heavy. Also another silence.

Also. Dancing edge is the same as storms eye, so if you have a warrior we basically remove this ability from our rotation completely, nullifying that point.

Edit: forgot doton inflicts heavy.

Our stun and silence are the same skill so you can't have both.

The important part is that you bring the possibility of both of those options. If you have a WAR in your party, you can switch to Silence. If you have a PLD, you can switch to Stun. Or based on the other DPS in your group (DRG swap to silence, BRD swap to stun, etc).

That's a level of versatility that other DPS jobs do not have.

Doton gives a 40% heavy.
The difference between heavy and slow is, that heavy reduces movement speed and slow reduces attack speed. They are not the same thing.
For example DRGs feint gives slow but not heavy.

Yeah I realized the difference between heavy and slow after I edited my post.

But I did mention doton inflicting heavy.
