NIN already has Yonin for its enmity boost

[lolwut]

Latest comment about ninjitsu enmity directly taking a shot at Rdm/Nin tanking basically. Incoming Ninja JA or trait

Poor Rdm, getting kicked when they're down.

[dasva]

Did I just read that right or did they just basically say they consider blu more of a tank then nin?

[fantasticdan]

I think they didn't consider nin main at all lol, they just had to gut rdm tanks enmity from all angles, before people mistakenly started using that job for anything.

It's funny they think blu tanking is acceptable at the same time thou. SE logic.

[Selamis]

Serious question, not trying to be a smartass but who honestly uses rdm/nin for any content now a days outside of maybe solo? I haven't seen that used in years.

No one, because they nerfed the hate spells it used to rely on. Now that hate from dmg dealt was reduced it could have come back into use, so this was more of a pre-emptive strike to keep them down.

[Prothescar]

aw shit, sounds to me like SE likes BLU tanking

[Xantavia]

If the smn hate issue is as bad as some people are saying, rdm/smn tanking in the future. Call your pet, cast haste, and the mob will be all over you.

Careful! Lets not forget who was tanking AV in their demonstration video '-';

Forget rdm/nin who uses rdm period anymore lol

[arus2001]

I'm of the mind RDM/NIN and its history is exactly why SE is content in skullfucking the job at every given opportunity no matter how insignificant the combo may be now.

[fantasticdan]

It's history of a handful of people using it do the same thing as pld/nin, before they realized they could do everything with dd tanks more efficiently?

Hope not. Don't got the inventory space for a full PDT/MDT set on my BLU.

[Draylo]

Should make space for that..

[Kincard]

Yeah, personally I'd say PDT/MDT is the most important set for BLU after TP sets. I'd even put it above WS and Phys. Spell sets if that's what's necessary to make room.

[Darkmagi]

I wouldn't put a pdt/mdt set over ws/phys spell sets lol. You can still do most content that a blu is worth using on without them.

[NynJa]

Not to mention that a blu can keep most mobs practically stun locked?

[Kincard]

Ehh, I mean 5 sets isn't too hard to carry around anyway (TP WS Phys Spell PDT MDT) and there's lots of overlap in gear. I swear I have like 10 different sets on my BLU at all times, heh.

I usually put PDT/MDT pieces above phys spell tweaking though. I have a base phys spell set that's mostly Blue magic skill and STR and I don't put things like mixed STR/VIT pieces or AGI pieces over PDT/MDT. Just a personal preference I guess.

[noodles355]

Forget rdm/nin who uses rdm period anymore lol

I unretired it and blew a few mil upgrading some relic to +2 so it could be my messing-around-in-rieves job.

I regretted my decision about an hour later.

If the smn hate issue is as bad as some people are saying, rdm/smn tanking in the future. Call your pet, cast haste, and the mob will be all over you.

The issue isn't that summoning your pet gives lots of enmity but the fact that avatars lose all their enmity inbetween swings.
