Ninja and Bloodbath

[Aco505]

Bloodbath should work with all damage.

[EchoingPulse]

I was always under the impression that Bloodbath works on ACTUAL physical hitting attacks, like with your weapon—and not actually 'casting' abilities. Bloodbath + Phase Shift is pretty life-saving as ninja. The restorative effect should be more pumped, but that's about it.

Bunshin can boost the effectiveness of Bloodbath when paired. Funny thing is that they repurposed Meisui to be a self/targeted heal in PVP so there is an avenue of defensive Ninjutsus to explore.

Role actions are there to standardize a given role, so their entire point is to provide a homogeneous benefit to all jobs in that role. The distinction between physical and magical attacks is purely an aesthetic choice anyways, especially given that most jobs don't use MP.

[TheGrimace]

This is correct.

Why do you think this?

Now that 7.1 is out, I would like to bring attention to the plight of Bloodbath once more.

The recent changes to Ninja are very nice and I am thrilled to see the changes made to Ten Chi Jin. Unfortunately Bloodbath still does not work on half of Ninja's abilities, a fact woefully made all-the-more-apparent by my recent forays with the Monk Job.

We still need Bloodbath to work with Ninjutsu and other magical abilities, CS3. Please make it so.

[TheGrimace]

Heya, folks. It's been a year and I would like to bring this issue to the forefront once more.

Please improve Bloodbath, Creative Studio III.

Can only agree here, considering they even went back and made the PvP version of Bloodbath interact with all damage types when it was physical-only prior.

With NIN having a significant portion of its damage be MAGIC damage (unaspected/elemental), this puts an unncessarily huge hinder to survivability that most melees do not have (minus a few actions from Reaper... please fix).

Please make Bloodbath heal on any damage type.

I mean at this point "damage type" should mostly be removed as-is, for all classes, and re-implementated as something that genuinely adds flavor (it kinda does on DRK, but that's it), instead of being a weird vestigial leftover from days long gone.

Again facts. Its vestigal clunk that was flavorful when stuff like dark arts and elemental and base stat materia existed but now it just doesnt fit in the simplified modernized state of the game. people crying about viper defensives need to remember feint and the fact they're the best bloodbath user in the game. the speed and ogcds give lots of heals, especially when doing aoe damage.
