What do you think would happen to the FFXI world if the was no such thing as Utsusemi

Ninjas would be weak Dragoons
 
if there was no utsusemi........ Nin would hardly ever get any invites to a party.....you might actually see some war/mnk running around instead of war/nin.....and good luck at trying to find a pld to party cuz they will already be taken
 
Yeeeup. Paladins will better than ninjas than they are now.
 
I would personally rejoice and dance for joy.

In terms of what would happen... I think NINs would out do most DD classes in parties if they focused purely on wearing damage gear instead of tanking.

That, and I'd start exping again, lol.

Melees would choose between /war, /thf and /sam for subjobs, instead of everyone choosing /nin only - almost sounds like a good thing.
 
The time-paradox would take us all back to where there was the lvl 50 cap and almost everyone spoke japanese. lol

Good times, good times. ^^
 
No utsusemi = no chain 300
Mages would run out of MP keeping people healed from the damage utsusemi absorbs.


War's would still sub nin for dual wield since axe/axe or axe/ridill would still outdamage great axe. -15% delay and -20% with a suppa is just too good to pass up.

If anything ninja's DoT would go up, no tanking means they can wear a hauby and full DD gear all the time. Also no more utsusemi means they swinging even more since they won't waste time casting it. Ninja's are already great DD's but they would get less invites competing with other melee DD's.

Ninja's kuriyami (sp), hojo and jubaku are better than a RDM's versions of slow, blind and para. Although I don't know about the new meritable versions for RDM.
 
No Utsu? THANK GOD

We'd have no more gilseller ninja tanks, or Ninja tanks at all, Ninjas would infact be played as orginally intended, as Nin/blm and used as a nuker, or Nin/meleejob as a nice DD.

Of Course i'd take a lot of soloability out of many things, But I think no Utsu would be nice.
 
You wouldn't see anymore bst/nin. And that'd make me a sad tarutaru. :(

I wind up tanking anyway as nin when I put on DD gear and don't voke. 15 seconds of melee without casting utsusemi is guaranteed top of the mob hate list, and I have this habit of opening fights with a ws...

lol Welcome to my life, I think I start a pull 90% of the time with a WS to burn or meditate ready. It kinda pisses Celvantes off when his voke doesn't even make the mob blink.
 
lol, you guys make it sound like such a good thing. So many people would be completely fucked without shadows, every damn NM you did would require more support, especially for somthing plds like to fight...chary should be interesting to kill with only one party and a pld/war tank.

Not to mention, for most situations, the best pld SJ is..../nin.

Also, why the hell do you people always talk aobut "what SE intended for ninja was not to tank." Seriously, shut the hell up. They had no idea what they were doing when they released this game, ninja is a god damn tank, with the right setup they will be hit for less dmg than a pld and keep hate just as well. And ninja can tank and DD just fine...no utsusemi wouldnt suddenly increase nin DMG, if anything it would hinder it, since I can only think of a handful of players that would keep up with my DMG, thus leaving me open to be killed because of no shadows.
 
since we are on this subject of what if, what if WHM didn't have Cure V?
What if RDM didn't have Refresh? What if BRD didn't have Ballad? What if PLD didn't have Flash? What if Sam didn't have meditate?

Im sure you get my point.

I can't wait til someone finds a usefulness for PUP and people start to say "That's not what SE intended PUP to be used for" blah blah, SE never intended Bst to solo, yet when they saw many Bsts solo'ing they designed Bst gear around it. SE didn't intend Rng to do their damage with ranged attacks primarily (seriously) but when they saw the job was broke they made it so a rng could carry around more than 200 arrows at a time.
 
Yea, SE didn't intend for us to solo, But they gimped us from the start, party wise, Since then they've made us able to party and people never have adjusted to having a bst in party, Thus we solo because people see us as worse then drg.

Yes, +<insert very large number here> enmity and throwing the kitchen sink at the mob doesn't do jack :badwords: :mad:

A) never going to happen as off the resson SE just made a JA of a shadow attack thing so it is here to stay
B) If was taken be back asap as so many people would quit and SE lose money
