/NIN has a lot to do with the decline of both THF and PLD, IMO. It gives a huge reward to having hate bounce around from player to player.
P.S. I agree that imps and colibri would be terrible targets for manaburns, but if that was what SE had in mind, surely they've had plenty of time to realize how badly melee-heavy parties tear them up? 20% or even 10% more HP for those two mob families would be a step in the right direction (so would making besieged harder, so the Empire loses the AC more than once a month; having monsters auto-retreat after a certain amount of time was a terrible idea IMO). The risk/reward of a pierce-heavy party fighting those gimped (except against blms) monster families is just ridiculous and has been for a couple of years now. | Do you do endgame lol? |
