    Yea they fixed that in this game. NIN was never meant to be a tank in XI but became one so they made sure that can't happen here.

    This. Though admittedly, the fact that it was such a different way to tank from normal meat shield etiquette did make it unique and fun for some.

    All they need to do to fix the problem is get rid of mudra input and just make the end actions have the mudra animations. this won't unbalance nin at all other then never getting bunny head anymore.

    Do this and you'll decimate the already thin ranks of tanks, bringing back the blink tank would be - in my opinion - a truly stupid idea, so, no, just no.

    Blink tanks make all other tanks obsolete. Why bring a tank that requires healers when you can bring a tank that will take no damage?

    I assume the Blink Tank should have either no chance of being hit or so slim a chance that it may as well be no chance, yes? I get that it worked in XI, but doesn't that mean a lucky computer getting good "rolls" in kills the tank faster than you can say "Holy blasphemy, That tank shouldn't be getting hit! Where is it's health?"?

    Or is there some damage mitigation mechanic thrown in for the best of both worlds?

    Ninja became a tank in FFXI because FFXI was designed by idiots.
