Ninja is boring

Ok, i ran a Ninja. At first seemed cool, with all those moves and shuriken spins. But after getting to 65, its just boring. So many skills would be nice in the ninja concept. But its not, the combos are too repetitive, like, no space on innovation/improvisation... Even though the class is Overpowered right now, i have more fun grinding BAMs on my Slayer and taking 2 minutes /BAM, than taking 30sec/BAM on Ninja. I think Blade and Soul got the right concept of ninja with their assassin class. But our elin Ninja didn't. I hope that in the future, if they decided to expand the class to other races, they do ninja castanic, and change some skills.

    I feel warrior does a better job as the quick, combo heavy class than ninja. Now, I do sort of main a ninja and a Slayer, but I have not forgotten my other classes. And warrior is certainly fast and explosive. It just needs those dps updates...
  • Yeah, i feel that too.. In fact, i'm going to run a warrior now, and keep my ninja only as a farmer. Warrior seems a lot like an assassin (in pvp at least it is haha). Maybe i will have more fun playing with 200k skills.
    And do you think this next update (aces wild) will make warrior dps better?

    I absutely love this class. Quit about 4 years ago. No class could keep me attracted to tera for longer than 2 months.

    I love the idea of being a ninja, love the giant shiriken. The combos can really be played with quite a bit in pvp.

    Really cant stop playing this class.

    The only disapointment for me is gender and class lock. cant express how much i hate being an female eln.

    OTHER than that its the best this game has to offer for me personally.

    N/A ninja is boring. Because, no talent system = much slower chi gathering = less use of fire heart skill.

    N/A normal skill rotation is double, sky, steel, combo combo. but, it takes longer to gain chi.

    The whole point of the class is to be so easy that a monkey could play it. Dinners already mentioned the rotation, it's literally a handful of skills and then clicking left mouse button until they come off cooldown again. You use like, four skills. You spam LMB. You do your chi ultimates when your bar fills. And then you outdamage every Vanilla class that has to utilize combos and manage buffs and actually try. They do it so new people the class attracts won't be put off by complexity. If ninja were as complex as warrior, people would quit the same day they joined.

    Recently, somebody I really looked up to quit their zerk to main a ninja instead, and you know what? I can't even blame him for it. Ninja seem tailor made for tackling this patch's dungeon mechanics. I made one too. Wouldn't main it because like you said it's boring as [filtered], but I can't blame anyone for wanting amazing DPS in exchange for just doing "1 2 3 4 auto attack auto attack CHI." I mainly use this thing for island of dawn farming and my god it's the easiest class to do it on. I don't even have to look at the screen. Sometimes I just stare out the window and watch the birds settle on the telephone wires while typing 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • Its boring to you guys. Its exciting and refreshing to others.

    Old classes are just outdated. Takes me an 2 bars and a ton of shortcuts to play a warrior ifficiently.

    Forget that non sense. I dont want to have arthiritis at 30.

    How can you guys sit here and complain yet still play the class you are complaining about.

    The irony.

    IF YOU DONT FIND IT FUN THEN DONT PLAY OT. A loyal player and fan of tgeir class sticks to it during the ups andd downs. its comical to me how one patch a class gets nerfed and maddddd whinning and jump ships. BUT when you guys are hella op and it takes months if not years for your class yo get nerf bats, no one says a famn word.

    PEOPLE these days are such bandwagon skippers. They have no sense of loyalty.

    All want to complain about something even though you are doin that very thing.

    You're probably referring to my post. I don't even blame people for making a ninja. It's an easy class that rewards anyone who follows its simple rotation with big numbers and a sense of usefulness. Like, I get that. I main zerk, so I'm not gonna complain that a class doesn't have an ultra complex rotation. This class even has a lot of iframes, which are helpful this patch since everything lethal can be iframed. Tailor made for this patch. Why can't I call a class what it is -- simple, and easy to play -- without someone biting my head off for it? It is what it is, man. It's a new class designed to bring in as many people as possible, and to do that it has to be simplistic and rewarding.

    I honestly can't even tell which side of this discussion you're on. First you ask how people can complain about a class but still play it, and then you talk about class loyalty and sticking to your guns in the ups and downs. I don't know, man. Maybe relax or something.

    Ninja's skillset makes playing Brawler look like rocket science.

    I'm not saying that it's not, but I digress...

    Im on the fun side.

    I am relaxed. Giving my opinion about yours which i find hilarious.

    I mean come on.. Sitting here complaining about ninja being op then admit you main it now? That sounds ridiculous.

    Its not fun you say but use it anyway. Dont play it if it isnt fun.

    AND while we are talking about op classes. WHAT ABOUT BRAWLER BAHAHA. THE class blocks while attacking, thats a joke class.

    I never said I mained it, just that I use it for island of dawn dailies occasionally. I actually went out of my way to mention this in my first post, which you clearly did not read. I will return the favor and stop reading your posts.
  • Do yourself another favor by not using the class. We dont want you to get to bored!!!

    Wouldnt wanna lose another loyal tera gamer.
  • I think you lost the thread topic here. I'm not complaining about OP ninja, in fact i said i only use it to do dailies.
    I am complaining about they making a class that use only the same two rotations, the melee one, and the ranged one (some people don't even put the ranged combo in shortcut). And because of the several i frames, your rotations remain intact no matter what happens, you don't have to improvise, nothing. If you like the class, great, it is for you. But in my opinion, it could have been a lot more fun.
  • As with all classes, there will be those who don't like a shorter skill set and less complexity, and there will be those who do. For me, due to some physical limitations, i have an easier time with fewer skills, although that doesn't stop me from playing more complex classes like sorc, it just makes for a lot less pain later on if i play more with the newer classes. That being said, i feel ninja could have used more stealth-like skills, i mean, cloning other players is cute, but useless. I leveled my ninja to 65 and now she sits there most days collecting dust. But this is just my opinion. We're all entitled to those, no need to denigrate people for their personal choices and preferences.

    Two ways to play
    Troll and have fun use whatever skill you want.
    Follow the rotation for better dps - which you said boring.

    If by boring... all class on Tera or most mmorpg are boring since... if you want do better dps... there some skill wont going be in rotation.
  • I also prefer slayer than ninja. Slayer is the most stylish class ever, but I like ninja too. Probably ninja and reaper are my favorite classes after slayer.
