Thread: 6.38 patch notes in a nutshell

I am genuinely confused why that meme thinks Ninja is dead, a literal five yalm distance change from its already high distance is literally nothing, you have pretty much still have all the same advantages from the previous patch cycle. Only thing really hindered by it is the gap closer, and that's only because it still requires ground selection to use so might be a little janky. Overall a lot of classes were minimally buffed, or in the case of Dragoon given more incentive for synergizing with other classes, like the Dark Knight. Paladins on the other hand ain't too happy this round, wouldn't be surprised if we see less of them advancing pushes.

Overall, pretty disappointing patch notes, but we'll see how things play out.

bring back moving while attacking with them

Even with this NERF, Ninja is still the most OP ranged job in PVP... meanwhile ranged jobs cry in the corner.

NIN isn't remotely OP.

They need the barrier from their LB back. Double paradox would be nice, but the barrier from LB (even a nerfed one) needs to be brought back. Its way too easy to shut down a BLM LB now with the ice nerf + the loss of the barrier.

I don't get that train of thought.

You don't LB mindlessly when you're out of resources and purify, and even more than this, you don't get into melee mindlessly while you still have most of your stacks to spend unless it's warranted. You can still use burst as well during it since you're not on a huge time constraint and gain the barrier that way. Why would you want to have not only a LB barrier, but then a barrier from burst on top of it so that you can be shielded for 30+ seconds or something? That's supposed to be balanced? You can even move freely without casting during the whole LB duration, and yet, BLM is "easy" to shut down? Like, BLM LB is monstrous. It has to come with downsides, and shutting it down is part of the game, even though that it's actually not as easy as it looks.

And I'm saying this as someone that plays BLM quite a bit, so it's not like I'm a BLM hater.
