Thread: NIN in 5.1

If Mudras became the primary means of DPS with substantial buffs, I'd be down with that. Maybe allow mudra's to go Ten-Chi-Jin-Chi or Ten-Jin-Chi-Ten-Chi and introduce about 9 double builders ie Ten-Chi or Jin-Chi. Suddenly you can get 60+ different Ninjutsu and each one will take the same time that a current Ninjutsu does.

Might be just me, but I get why NIN DPS is very low but for it to be this low that the class is basically a joke is... not good. TBH, I thought NIN was going to be more of a debuffer since, historically speaking, Ninja's are more about stealth and hindering your enemies so that they can get away. Not saying the NIN should be able to nuke because they should be able to, I wouldn't mind being able to pump more debuffs to enemies other than TA.

I am personally looking forward to seeing what they do at least.
I just came back to the game and am thinking of maining something different this time perhaps ( instead of BLM ), and I've set my sights on Sam or Nin.
Overall I really do like Nin, my only issue with it is mudras feeling a bit clunky at times.
I'd probably say that it's mostly when you have to do 3 mudras tho, that's when it's felt the most imo.
Ten Chi Jin also feels clunky I think, like maybe when you popped it then it could just turn your combo string into the Ninjutsu and then depending on which one you use the first you'll get the same sequences.

I don't dislike the mudras as they are, but I do think that they have this feeling of slowing down everything and that they're sometimes susceptible to not weave in like they should.
The problem is that I don't think that any other job really has to deal with something similar which makes it feel odd.
And I sorta feel afraid at times to do that last mudra too quickly because if my connection is somewhat off I am running the risk of bunnying.
Sometimes I feel as if my click just doesn't register.

I dunno tho, I kinda want to play Nin but atm Sam feels more smooth to me and it's mainly because of the mudras.
I'll see what they do, if they overhaul them and make them more smooth I'll go Nin otherwise I'll probably go Sam.

Ninjas never been a difficult job to play bu design. The only real difficulties come from the endless battle against latency.

So if like someone mentioned gcds wont bunny your mudras and allow you to weave them then it's a change I'd I'd personally welcome.

Or they could fix ninja by leaving it exactly how it is and upgrading the server code to fix the latency issues..

Oh I do also think assassinate could literally jus the scrapped at the minute. Just tack on the extra potency to dream within a dream and done. As it stands it's just a needless extra button.

Yes. I do not want Dancerja.

I may be in the minority here, but I actually like the current iteration of NIN. It may be a hot mess of buttons in the opener, but once you are into its normal rotation it is very enjoyable to me. Since the potency increases in 5.05, NIN seems to be in a pretty decent place right now.

I would like to hear some other opinions on both the current iteration of NIN, and what changes (if any) you would like to see.

Same, i'm scared and i'll probably stick to SAM since Yoshida said :
-Mudras on GCD meaning = combo>ninjustu>combo
-Delete 1 combo meaning = 3 combos > 2 combos

NIN felt really exiting to play, with a nervous gameplay, and that gameplay will probably be gone after 5.1, but hey, it's gonna be more accessible to everyone, because there is not enough of those kind of job already...

I wouldn't mind the mudra receiving the dance treatment regarding button bloat.

Me neither tbh, I don't really like having to hold down shift or whatever.
Especially not with mudras where there's clipping and potentially lag issues in some cases ( pretty rare for me tho ).
It feels very clunky.

Regardless of what they do tho people will complain.

I do enjoy current ninja, and I am afraid of what 5.1 will bring but we shall see if ninja also goes the way of AST and BRD for me.

R.I.P Ninja - You will be missed.

Guess its time to find another game to play.
Didnt expect this game to be going towards recruiting toddlers to play.
Isnt it PG-13? Not for 1-3 years of age.
