As a NIN main, I would have preferred the coal.

got something all right mental abuse stress and neglect for being a class that fluffs everyone else dps with a high skill cap and no reward nor a lick of respect.

It's obnoxious.

Zero reason to play Ninja now when you can play Samurai or Monk both easier and way more damage potenial.

Yes I’ve been saying this since I picked up the job because the community over values trick so much we can never get any of the balance changes ninjas really need. It’s all coming to a head now and people are starting to notice it more as we get more and more utility into the game. In stormblood drg’s With the piercing debuff easily out did ninja in raid dps and monks with brotherhood and their personal dps could out dps a ninjas raid contribution with trick attack.. yet despite both those facts people were still saying trick attack is op and they can’t buff ninja or they would be 2 strong. And now this is where we end up because of it

You're in the Meta, how many buffs do you want?


Heres the deal. You get more Potency, if they reduce or remove trick attack's Vulnerability debuff.

It's the self-dps potency that need to be buffed,I think.

Their rotation is not smooth in any sense of the word it might feel fine to someone just picking it up to mess around here and there but to a ninja main the issues are very apparent the fact that fuma is useless basically forces us to do at least a 2 step mudra every 20 second which with great ping take about 2.5-3 seconds to perform automatically clipping your around 2 second gcd (with Huton up).. so let’s add on top the fact that they added meisi which basically doubled the amount of suitors we are putting out during the fight which is a 3 step mudra at least 3-4 second to perform with good ping.. or saving it to pair with tcj which has it own sets of problems I don’t even want to get into here you can see how the clipping adds up thought the course of an encounter to the point were we are losing entire combos by the end of the fight because we clip out gcd so frequently.. on top of the fact that if you get mudra lag (which is very common) not only do you clip your gcd you also loss more dps cuz you lose your mudra potency as well.

In short it’s frustrating to see people that aren’t 100% invested in the job saying the job is playing fine when the one committed to it are asking for changes

What meta are you referring 2 because ninja have not been in the meta since shadowbringers released monks and drgs well out dps ninjas raid contribution. Even dancers with there lower personal dps out dps ninja on a raid output basis.. so I’m not sure what meta your referring to but ninja def are not in it

Meta right now is, to not bring a NIN at all, because its a dps loss.
