The Problems With Ninja In Endwalker

[meggtarts]

I fully agree with all the thoughts above. I'm a NIN main (really a NIN one-trick) and was hoping to continue that trend into EW. The greatest draw of this class, especially as a prog class, is how flexible NIN typically is.

In just this tier alone, I can think of so many ways that the forced double GCD gap closer would have caused so many pain points. As many others have stated before me, I would love for Forked/Fleeting to be used as oGCDs under buffs. I'd also be happy if they stayed the way they are, but with weapon skills not breaking the Raiju buffs. As it is, any instance where we'd need to stay max melee would be forcing us to choose between death or losing those procs. This issue alone seems to be completely game-breaking for Ninjas.

I'm thinking of not assigning any keybinds to the Raijus, to avoid using them by mistake when I have to stand back.
I guess I'll just have to do as many Raitons as I can, then just wait and do nothing until the orange disappears before using them to move back in quickly.
