RIP Ninja

Meh. Guess I permanently retire my NIN on 6/18. It was a good run, but it's over now. Positionals SUCK. They always have, always will.

I'm in the same boat. I use the last mouse button I have left for trick attack, so that I can be more fluid with it's use while dancing. With new skills and more positionals, my dps (or dancing ability) is bound to suffer.

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to have mudras on easy-to-reach keys, but I do, so meh :/. Time to main another class.

It's also going to be odd to say the least if NIN's positionals are anywhere BUT behind the target. Ninjas are supposed to be sneaky. Sneaky people do backstabs, not facestabs. I don't even get why sneak attack is frontal.

Edit: And I don't know about other people, but I see mudras as sort of an alternative to having positionals. I find using mudras to be much easier and less frustrating than having to position for every attack. Now it seems there is no alternative for melee dps; NIN just has mudras AND positionals on top of that to deal with using.

so much nerf...surely SE don't like ninja at all. They still not yet fix the mudra lag and now adding position requirement to old skills, so much waste of time...
