    Hrm...
    I did notice that NIN got quite the nerf on the physical department due to the loss of Dripping Blades and the Slashing debuff, but I am not so sure that the low DPS output is the Job's fault... I've yet to fully lvl it tho.

    After all NIN got quite a bit of game changing mechanics that, altho raised their bursting power, also added some chances of messing up big time. Some examples I've run into:

    - Kassatsu having 2 charges even at lvl 50 is a game changer. And sometimes will use them right when Ninjutsu is about to come off CD (which is a waste)

    - Mug extra Ninki makes it something you shouldn't use past the 60 points mark or you will lose some dps there (which can happen more often than not).

    - TCJ having free usage also means Ninjutsu can be used up to 4 times in a row with a way to bunny 3 of them together. It feels bad...

    - Meisui looks good on paper but its actually a DPS loss if used on a raw Suiton for the sake of Bhavakacra (and also you can accidentally overcap Ninki with it).

    - Bunshin may have been nerfed even before launch on the Ninki generation, but even so, with Ninki requirement being stuck at 80, you get no more than a 2 GCDs window to use Bhava in, else you overcap, which is more DPS loss.

    - Doubleweaving is almost mandatory.

    - Clipping is their life.

    - Is actually very easy to mess up and do Raiton instead of Hyosho on a Kassatsu due to muscle memory or Hyoton instead of Raiton due to overthinking.


    Every single skill you get from 70 to 80 changes the NIN gameplay in some way that wouldn't surprise me not every NIN at 80 can handle instantly.

    At least now there is no way to miss TA, with True North's change.
