Trick Attack

[Manofpassion]

While I agree that people who don't like change, like me, are more likely to voice their opinion, i think its safe to say we can pretty much already judge how new mug is gonna feel and whether we like it not. Anyone who has levelled a class with a raidbuff that isn't ninja will be familiar with a 2 minute burst. If they were gonna reinvent the 2 minute buff just for nin, you would think they would give it the spotlight in the presentation to balance backlash from the gutting of trick. It is just an assumption, but I think the devs purposely didnt explain mug in great detail because they knew it was underwhelming and didn't want even more backlash.

I must say, when people say "gameplay/rotation wise it won't change too much", it doesn't make me feel much better. With trick's identity being changed drastically, i would like something to make up for it in the enjoyment and fun factor. Monk had something similar, with greased lightning being replaced by nadis, although that did take a while. It may seem contradictory, as I have come off as anti-change in these threads, but if they're gonna change trick, nin players will need a new clear thing to be their new identity. The devs in my opinion are both doing too little, by not giving nin new toys to play with, and too much since trick is being changed with little to make up for it. But who knows. Maybe mug of all things will be the next big thing in the ffxiv meta, and will have deep and interesting mechanics surrounding it. With the ffxiv devs, I believe the chances of that coming true being slim.
