Wait....where are the Ninjas?

[Hawuhawuu]

Ninja's honest to god have some of the best glams, and coolest animations.

I think though it's hard to compete with Reaper which is more straight forward, has an infinitely better looking weapon, and stance, and summons a ghost in combat.

It's hard to justify playing any other melee when the newest is just the best, all round.

I think you prob is that ninja only brings damage to the party and is the worst melee at damage. It needs utility or a dps buff. Every melee job is currently a better version of ninja. Ninja just increases the difficulty by making fights take longer / enrage timers harder.
