Is the ninja class any good? My two friends are going to be a "Disciple", and a "Paladin". I read the wiki, and I'm still REALLY confused about the whole health system and I'm wondering if Ninja is a viable class for a talented and experienced pvper.
A brief description of Ninja would that it deals really high DPS, but has a penalty of low health and weak armor. The class can use a bow, but is very ineffective with it, so this class falls in range. The class has a few mobility skills for chasing/running making it ideal for hunting. The classes offensive skills are also mainly instant damage to get quick attacks on your opponent. Other skills like smoke and fade are great for stealthly taking opponents down or hiding from an opponent who's hunting you.
Simply. You will have fun pvp'ing as a ninja. They have consistently been a competitive choice for 2 maps. The wiki is an excellent project but it is run by the community as well as staff. Some of the skills and health changes will not be on the wiki immediately, and the answer is to make a thread like this one. GJ.
Ninjas are awesome overall. Just remember you are a sneaky class so don't just charge in, try to pick off the casters and healers. Ninja is also a super fun class, a skill that gives you a speed boost + a skill that makes you invisible? Thats awesome. Based on your other friends classes you would be the main damage. Sure the disciple may put out decent damage but you do a ton more. The paladin is tanky so I would let him go in you smoke (the invisible skill) and sneak up behind them and attack when you have an opportunity.
Its not funny to play ninja . You cant catch casters while they are kiting you or you cant kill warrior specs you just need to ambush them or kill them while afk its really hard to play ninja.
