The Problems With Ninja In Endwalker

[Kolsykol]

I loved Shadowbringers NIN but current I am just rly meh about but I haven't leveled it yet so I dunno.

Ppl kept going on about Assassinate being bad because of the animation lock, I mean I've never had issues with it........
I rly don't get it, people must've held it and used it in the worst possible scenario.
Even if you used it and then the AoE circles appeared after you pressed the button you'd still have enough time to get away I just don't get the complaints about it at all.
And it made Dream Within a Dream less fun imo I liked weaving Assassinate a lot it felt great.

No Shadow Fang either feels meh imo?
And I am not rly fond of spamming the same button repeatedly as with the Raiton combo.
Just hammering one button for three gcds is boring to me ( especially twice in a row + Hyosho Ranryu ).

But I dunno, maybe it's more fun at 90 but my immediate reaction is that it felt more empty at 80 at least.
The Raiton combo looks great but as far as being fun to play I dunno.

Then again you've got a vocal group who wants to erase buttons and turn things into auto-combos...
To me it's not compelling gameplay to press the same button over and over again.

Edit: My mistake, after looking again it's a separate button for the Raiton combo.
But still I do think that it seems boring.

Which is sad because the Trick Attack window before was rly fast paced and fun and very diverse in the abilities you used.
