Enable Shadow Leap for Ninjas

mikukitsune

Would like to request to enable Shadow Leap for ninjas - granted it would be somewhat of a custom change to a skill. Requesting this mainly because it wouldn't make sense for it to be non-functional when
1) It has a longer acd than backslide/front slide of mech and unlike thief backslide, it's not affected by aspd
2) It cannot leap through "ledges" like Taekwon Leap

This would probably garner some interest for expanded in the PvP scene considering how rare they are even in bg.

+1, i made a ninja and deleted it because i couldnt jump in woe. it has bad acd and is not as powerful as leap

-1, I don’t think it’s wise to give snap to a physical immune class.

Shouldn't we discuss this in threads in PvP discord where everyone would see and give their thoughts and opinions about it?

For me, it's -1.

Db rk is non-functional too, shouldn't we buff it?

At least for WoE, the reason why expanded jobs don't get any attention is because of that low 12 members cap per guild. To point out: back when cap was 24, we had some Kagerous, SR and SE being used in WoE.

Expanded jobs, for WoE, goes to the same place as RK: why should I run it when I have a class that does the same thing but better?
I'm no Kagerou player, but, a job that has full FCT reduction, physical damage immunity, self pneuma and many other tools don't look that underwhelming to me, honestly. But is undeniable that we have classes that are doing it job better in current meta.

Another thing I want to bring up, is that aside from the class being physical immune and having a full fct reduction skill, in this case we are not talking about a “non functional skill” because in the description of the skill itself, it’s written clearly that in WoE it would skip the leap part to only going out of hide.

I like the idea of giving some love to expanded classes, but in my opinion we should explore different ideas than this one.

And, at least for me, trying to balance both, WoE and BG, by the same ruler will drive us all insane.
