Ninja bad or ok?

[Sleigh]

Take the ninja in the raid is a waste of dps, as for example, the Dragoon and the Ninja in perfect rotations , the ninja is far behind at 200 dps.

Nope, sorry. Any parse you'd show as proof of this would be an AoE-enabled situation, or just the NIN slacking/dying/being woefully outgeared.

The vulnerability debuff , in this sense does not recover the damage lost. No tank has trouble generating agro and therefore agro ninja skills are simply trash.

Only PLD in Sword Oath gets a big benefit in pure holding aggro. Regardless, you can do some nifty things with that aggro on every single tank, rotation wise or which stance you're attacking from - the skill is far from just helping a tank hold threat against DPS, it's sustained aggro to ward against healers in something like A3S, and you can have your tank do more DPS/utility they'd rather do.

Please don't come here and state wrong "facts"... You're just making this problem bigger.

NIN is way WAY closer than 200 DPS behind DRG. I don't know where you're getting that number from, cause that's just a BS statement...

MNK is slightly behind DRG, NIN is slightly behind MNK on a parser. 2x slightly, doesn't add up to 200 DPS. Also, Trick Attack does more than you think, and it takes them well over MNK in actual DPS you give to the group.

Don't get me wrong, DRG is OP at the moment, because not only do they have the highest DPS on a parse + Litany, they also buff BRD/MCH DPS enough to put them ahead.

That doesn't mean NIN is in a bad spot though, because the best groups in the world use them.

I like Ninja, it would be better if they gave you an attack dog as a pet though like shadow from FF6

It is a fact , the ninja is a broken class, agro skills are crap and no reason to exist , there is no problem of agro generation with tanks , TA does not increase the overall dps at the end of raid and the chance of error is very high. Error is equal to lose dps . The logic says to not take the ninja in progression like SA3, a group with BLM , DRK , MNK will do much better dps work , than a group with BLM , DRK , NIN. Its a FACT YOSHIDA is wrong .....

What about the groups that beat A3S that use Ninja? I am not sure what you mean by "TA Does not increase the overall dps at the end of raid"...it is a dps increase to the raid.

Also, yes there is a chance of error which is annoying...however, after doing fights for a bit you can easily learn patterns and know when you should use TA and when you should wait.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I did not say that it was not possible to do with the ninja I'm talking about is much easier without the ninja.

Ok .. One boss fight 3 dps one fight 3 min simulation BLM , DRK (DRG sorry edited) , MNK same average gear lvl

3*900 (here is a average dps for ilvl 170) +180 (seconds)= 486.000 damage done

Ninja at same average gear ilvl do 750 dps .... (average value from data)

now (2*900+750)*180 = 459.000 damage done but TA do 10% more dps , in 180 seconds = 2 TA up

459.000 + (2*900+750)*20(seconds)*0,1 = 459.000 +5100 = 464.100

486.000 - 464.100 = 21.900 damage lost

but TA has is a 3 stage ninjutsu I need to compile success chance too ?

Okay so ...

1. DRK is not a DPS, and all your numbers in general are off.
2. TA benefits 7 other people in content other than dungeons
3. NIN is around mid-level DPS, somewhere above BRDs/SMN and close to BLM depending on if MCH or BRD is in the party
4. You get 3 TAs in 180s, not 2. You almost get 4. Around 10s, 1m10s, 2m10s, about to near 3m10s.
5. About the worst thing you can say about doing a Suiton is you may have to go slower than you should have to because you're not on a JP server. Big whoop.

sorry ok but the third TA has a high chance to fail....... statisc calc ...
