The Problems With Ninja In Endwalker

[Cyrexs]

High skill ceiling for garbage dps no place for one miss/failure, it's not even decent or average. ( don't simplify it, just upgrade the damage )
That's my only issue.

Honestly all dps job potencies are pretty out of wack right now and I’m positive we’ll be seeing adjustments soon. I also play Sam and right now there’s literally no reason to play it Rpr and it’s kind of infuriating.

I played it yesterday to give it a try. And to be honest its even more boring now to me. Yes it helps with fiting everything in the trick window instead of being forced 6 gcd's of raiju in a row but outside of TA I feel im almost basically 1,2,3 comboing again and quit frankly its boring compared to the double raiju animation we just had. As stated before by many others including the orginal author of this thread the main issue people disliked wasn't because its a gap closer but the fact of being forced to gap close back to back after every Raiton since raiju breaks on weapon skills

If you were dumping all your 6 Raiju under/around TA, then how were your gcds outside TA any different than the current combos though? Unless you just mean the occasional Kamaitachi, but then that has nothing to do with the Raiju change. Don't get me wrong, I would prefer to have more to do in downtime as well (give us back the Shadowfang combo!), but Raiju spam was not the answer.

Also having 6 gap closers with high potency would still be an issue even if you could move them a bit more freely, because it would feel like losing dps if you can't fit those big hits under TA due to it lining up with wrong mechanics.

I think you may have miss understood me. That was one of the points of taking away breaks on weapon skills because in extreme cases being forced to do 6 in a row was not it. But I really enjoyed the animations of forked then fleeting together, just not the forced use it or loose part.
