Pls let me know when you wish fix NIN job

As others have said already, yeah NIN is in a very strong place right now. Far from being sidelined, it's one of the most desired DPS to have along! NIN retains its amazing utility via Shadewalker/Smokescreen and Trick Attack, and its raw dps output is fairly high as well. The rotation is so much smoother now than it was in 3.0, with the combo changes. Now that NIN can apply slashing debuff naturally in its rotation (with no dps loss) it frees up parties to use any combination of tanks they please, and also allows SAM to start with a stronger opener.

As for Mug, are you referring to the item-drop effect? That's mostly for flavor, since truly valuable items in FFXIV mostly drop from chests, or at such low rates that a slight boost is negligible (if it even applies at all in instances). The true value of Mug now is how it builds 30 Ninki gauge, which lets us use powerful 'finishers' quicker. If looking to farm items, you'd definitely be better served killing things faster so you can have more drop chances, so I'd recommend using Mug on cooldown instead of saving it for a last hit attempt.

NIN is LITERALLY the best DPS class right now. Even after its nerf. DRG players are now BRD bitches, SMNs are now Yoshida's bitch and MCH is just a bitch.

You're a natural poet, 10/10

Just another NIN input.
Yep, they looked lack luster when their GCDs got reduced to only 5 (of which 4 are used the 90% of the time), but the amount of oGCDs is astounding.
By no means a boring class and I wouldn't call it being sidelined, just that it is on such a perfect spot right now that there is barely nothing to do (aside from the TCJ clunkyness).

What do you feel it is broken about it - specifically (with more detail) compared to what we got out of the 4.0 expansion so far?

What I consider to be the key features of NIN is Trick Attack, Shadewalker, and Smokescreen - all of which had zero changes when Stormblood hit - other than Trick Attack now being acquired at level 18 instead of 50 (which is amazing for lower level roulette). The fact that they still put up great numbers is icing.

I'm mot the op but in my opinion the only thing broken about ninja is ten chi Jin. It's so ridiculously clunky. Even on sub 150 latency.

Really hoping they do something about that. Change the way it works or something to male it more fluid and less clunkettyclunk

[RaizeGraymalkin]

lmao what is this topic even? This is why SE doesn't listen to the community at times. NIN literally complaining.

[edgefusion]

What? If anything Ninja is overtuned currently. It pushes out extremely high DPS and provides the best utility in the game.

Só, this isnt a troll post. Atm Im not at the max lvl (at 61 actually) and yes, like you, I miss my rotations.
I still need to learn more about the other skills, but I felt the loss I was most used to. I consider myself a layman in the matter of damage calculations and other more technical things. No more, I just wish the mug skill were more effective.

[Klein_Rider]

My suggestion is to wait until you've played Ninja at level 70. I haven't myself, but I imagine you can't get the entire feel for a job until you've played it at max level.

Thanks Nora
I'm looking forward to level 70.Until then, I'll try to get used to the absence of some skills and learn from the new ones.

[Bernkastelx]

Mug gives u 30 ninki so pretty useful you get the enhanced version at lvl 66. Nin also got a lot of qol changes like being able to hide to reset mudras for boss fights no more 25 sec wait times. Dream within a Dream got a dmg buff and can crit now so nin doing pretty well.

NIN by far suffered the least in the transition to SB. Which is good, because as my main I would be uninstalling if they messed it up like DRK. It does take some getting used to with the simpler rotations, but at least its still playable in under 60 content, and shines at 70.

I'm not going to say anymore, because I worry if we say too many nice things about X skill SE will grab their nerf hammer.

[Heliantheae]

We lost B4B and Invigorate? Other than that I'm with everyone and have no idea what you're on about.
