When he started explaining the Mudra rotations I just started laughing because I know my ass is not going to remember any of this.

[@micahlindley7515]

Here's a cheat sheet for you. Only the final mudra in the sequence matters.

Playing ninja feels like playing mariokart with your friends except you're in a different room alone and no one knows you're try harding or even exist until you throw a red shell every now and then and the funniest part is you're in last place

[@josephsilva9403]

hope they buff it like shadowbringers

[@MeridianOne]

💀💀🤣

[@ShrimplessScampi]

Well damn! 🍻

[@Chrisfly81]

By far the best job i've ever played on FFXIV and maybe any MMORPG, it's fast, it can do everything good, it has beautiful animations & FX, it's useful, mudra is the best spellcast system ever (and not so hard to remember) and you can pretend to be Naruto, 11/10. The video is clear and short, a great job as always, the best beginners guides on KZbin!

[@jackjohnson8305]

Nah the best beginners guides on KZbin goes to Wesk Alber

[@Blazingbeard]

Yeah it's an amazing job. Got into it a couple of days ago. Tried a couple others (DRK (like), DRG (meh; dragonfire dive love though), BLM (love explosions a bit slow and hard with mechanics), WAR (simple yet fun to be a healer), SGE (fast and fun to do hectic healing, boring dps). And then there is Ninja. Didn't think I'd like it, but man do I love it's speed and mudra. Animations are awesome. Now at lvl 50, a lot to learn still, but a lot of fun while learning.

[@nakm0741]

A ninja is never late. He is always “raiton” time. 😁 Amirite?! No? Ok I’ll see myself out.

[@zentefresh5881]

You know imma give you that one as cheesey as it is that was pretty good

[@MayHugger]

God damn it XD

Underrated comment. Top tier.

I'm glad you know where to door is

Piss off and take my like

[@wiper7000]

You explained it perfectly, but this class just has a hella lot of infomation to grasp. I can't even remember the beginning of the video anymore xD

[@dawnway6291]

additional info mudra is only determined by : 1) number of mudra 2) last mudra 3) there is no double mudra (no Ten + Ten + Chi or anything similar)

[@danielalm957]

3) actually unlocks the most powerful ninjutsu in the game! Kuchiyose No Justsu: Bunny with stylish hat 🎩

[@dawnway6291]

@@danielalm957 the fact that the bunny looks like its wearing BLM hat could ninjas actually just con artists XD. the bunny is actually the one casting spells

[@1Dylan1]

OK yeah that is a much better way of explaining it

[@ttaibe]

bit late to the game, but basically this explains what the video failed to do.

[@DarkBlackGod14]

Well, after watching this i think healers one button rotations isnt that bad =D

[@TheZenaku69]

Me playing ninja: my brain hurts. me watching this video: *drool hanging from corner of mouth*

[@BlazeBuds]

So true lol Thats why I like to use ranged in pvp a fair bit. Brainless work

[@justsomedude7042]

When you get it down, it's so fun. I spent 5 days on a dummy. Got it all down, and OMFG... I don't care what anyone says. This Jobs DPS is stupid. Make quick macros with proper timing, and you're golden. Don't macro full rotations... that will cause you a loss in dps.

[@apallo.11]

bruh i get a brain aneurism trying to do the basic ass SAM and DRG rotations without fucking up, and they're some of the simplest straightforward combos. mad respect to NIN mains, you're literally just cooler than everyone else and you know it.

[@quiksilver0000]

The saddest thing is when you use Doton and then tanks pull the mobs out of it thinking it's a debuff ;__; /mudra tears

[@VideoHostSite]

Good lord man- I've played Ninja as my main for four months now, and NEVER understood the skills completely until now! Thank you so much!

[@BlazeBuds]

9 years here and I still learnt off this video. Although barely played for the last 3 years

[@RaviBajnath]

What is my purpose? “To use Trick Attack”. Oh god

Not anymore, RIP Trick Attack

[@icagent376]

well actually not anymore 😞

[@AKo26]

@@icagent376 is nin bad now?

[@icagent376]

@@AKo26 not sure bro some people say its bad some say its not, i like the class and how it plays, also we don't know anything about the new potencies so wait for the patch notes

[@YasunaLou]

To me all the Ninjutsu are purely muscle memory. I couldn't tell you what combinations to use for each ability if my life was on the line, but somehow I still manage to use them correctly usually. So even if you believe you won't remember them, just give them a shot. You progressively unlock more of them and get to practise all the combinations a lot until you get a new Mudra. It's not quite as intimidating as it seems on paper. Practise makes perfect!

[@starstreamheartlocke652]

I kind of took a mnemonic approach. I just remember two combos and adjust them situationally. Ten - Chi - Jin = single target combos skip Chi if kassatsu is up or skip Jin if it isn't reverse if I need my skill speed buff Jin - Ten - Chi = AOE combos skip Chi if doton is up Both of these also work for Ten Chi Jin (the ability)

[@jem1is1the1man]

As i was watching, that's basically what i was thinking. "Damn... I guess i just gotta play this to get a handle of it." lol

[@godsendmusic5911]

Yeah for me it’s just left down right up, left right up, right left up, left right down up, (ps4

[@BlazeBuds]

same here lol. I could show you on a controller, but I couldn't tell you off the top of my head. It all just becomes muscle memory after 9 years. But still learnt somethings off this video, probably because since I raided at level 70, I have played a total 3 months and just done story

[@zombathon3370]

Same for me with fighting games I couldn't tell you the button inputs for combos but I'll always just instinctively push the correct buttons without thinking it's crazy.

[@KYle13265]

Your videos give an excellent refresher on how to do these classes! The visual representation of the abilities definitely helps as opposed to just reading walls of text. Keep up the great videos!

[@BlazeBuds]

yep perfect for me who has only bothered with story the last 2 expansions and trying to get back into it. I remembered most, but obviously some changes

[@ShindoWonderland]

Thanks again for another easy to swallow Ninja guide. Easy to understand and as someone who plays NIN it was easily recognizable how you built a rota as you went explaining ;)

[@KuroMai]

i was a bit afraid of this class before but in the end it's super easy to remember the combination, i just remember the ending jutsu, if it ends by Ten then it's fire (2 combo), chi then it's thunder (2 combo) , Jin then it's ice. no matter the order you do it. i always place jin chi ten respectively on the 1 2 and 3 because it's my opener, then i do the opposite : 3 2 1 for suiton, and the only one that isn't in this order, is by deduction the doton. it's how i remembered the jutsu quickly

[@sliver-fox-thot-patrol]

This cured my tankxiety, I'd rather tank than play ninja, holy crap

[@TheShepasaurus]

Subscribed! This video is so well put together and explains the moveset simply for one of the more complicated classes. Will definetly watch more of your videos!

[@Xthasys]

Finally a video that shows in a solid way the skills that a particular class has, without falling into videos of raids / dungeons where you could not enjoy the animations of each skill. Thanks, I was hesitating whether to continue with the ninja and I see that the kit he has is mega fun. Thx for the video!

[@bocatt9202]

As an idiot that likes playing NIN, thanks for the guide. Lots to remember, but the best way to learn is by trying, and leveling ROG does a good job of teaching you slowly the way of the Shinobi. Looking forward to more guides.

[@PinkyThumbs]

Now that you have the basics down, let us introduce you to the ninjas 60 second, 60 button opener 😂

[@ximenapavlikova1710]

Thanks for the guide! I’m a Spanish speaker and I didn’t find a ninja guide in my language. But yours was very easy to understand! Thank you!

[@DeathNotePotatoChips]

idk if anyone mentioned it or if it’s mentioned later in the video but what i’ve observed (at least at level 50 bc that’s where i’m at) but the combinations of mudra appear to only depend on the last one + the length so all the 2 combo ones if it ends with chi it i’ll be raiton (iirc) same of the 3 combo ones once i realized that it helped a lot since it meant i didn’t need to remember the order of the first two. not sure if this applies with the higher level stuff tho..

[@zillahstar]

Awesome video as always!

[@justinreckmo4322]

Hi, I am a DRK main. Really I have no intention of maining NIN, but it is fun to level and I like knowing what I am doing. This guide really helped clear up what TCJ does because the tool tip isn't very helpful. Thanks!

[@jimw6659]

I love your guides. Many thanks!

[@oh.proxii]

Give it some more time and your channel is gonna blow up. These videos are great explain like I'm 5 "class here". Ggs

Well my brain just fried itself to a crisp.

[@206Zelda]

Helpful and thorough guide: Me: *internal screaming* "Sounds good."

[@isbammoi3358]

Learning ninja My heart: :D My brain: >A

[@2eeky]

Thank you, it sounds like the most complicated class I've ever heard of. Granted, I also haven't even tried it yet.

[@1988theRick]

It does a good job of explaining as you level. Skills are spread out so you spend alot of time with them before learning new ones.

[@Kazzujin]

Yup this is just what I needed to decide if I was gonna pick up ninja again......I'm not but it looks cool. Great work!

[@jakelawrence6618]

Another great guide as always. For next one I’m voting for gunbreaker. Also for all the previous jobs you did before 6.0 do you think revision of them or more specifically the ones that did change quite a bit like red mage and warrior for example

[@Silversky1113]

I love Ninja because I feel like it's the most immersive of the classes. You really do feel like Naruto having to remember the mudra combinations. However, a simple way to remember them is to know that only the last mudra used affects the spell. In that regard, I like to set up the mudra in a triangular formation and remember them based on imagery. Like for example, a downwards diagonal mimics a lightning strike, while an upwards motion represents rising flames. A backwards L means "Lay down the dot," while a forward L is "Let's go faster" (huton). I'm sure everyone has their own tricks to remembering them.

[@canadiancanucklehead8310]

They gave ninjas lightning blade. Dope

[@drakofish6175]

Ohhhh shit it took till now to realize the bunny was not a buff...

[@BlazeBuds]

haha yeah just don't pop it if you mess up and no one will know

[@cassiofeiteira5274]

im becoming a fan of your videos. thanks for the content. waiting for the black mage idiot's guide!!

[@KirbeeGaming]

Best DPS job by far for me! Youre never going to be bored on Ninja! 🤣

[@BlazeBuds]

But trying going from maining Ninja for 9 years to other jobs, I'm not the best Ninja but it keeps me busy. Other melee jobs especially seem flat compared. Dancer is probably the next fun one

[@sombrafy14]

Thank you so much for this, explaining it in a way that didn't take an hour and was simple enough for me to understand, when every other guide had me like "Duhhhhh"

[@gerardoventura4988]

Best ninja guide I’ve seen so far.

[@liamjamesharris]

This class has the most buttons of any of my classes, and is the most difficult of my dps's to keep my uptime consitent. I love it.

[@LostGeburah]

it might sounds confusing but that's only beacuse it is. but that doesn't change the fact that i wanna learn to play this job. sounds fun.

[@ralphnolimit6483]

Greate guide, looking for my main Astro

[@userphilman]

This looks way to complicated for my pea brain... but the sadistic in me now really wants to try lvl one 🤣

[@BlazeBuds]

Its pretty simple of you take your time leveling and don't rush it. You pick up the mudra skills 5 levels apart so have plenty of time to get used to them

[@Ricki5ifty]

literally 😂😂😂

[@paulward9038]

I'm starting to regret to level ninja. I don't have the proper college education.

[@slymcfly123]

This guy always happy it seems

[@Sekaro297]

Oh boy. I'd considered myself quite ninja savvy for someone that doesn't really watch guides or other stuff that much. But for some reason, I fully forgot about armor crush having a flank bonus. I just assumed it had a rear one as well. That and I forgot about hollow nuzuchi. Not that it changes much now that I know about it. But yes, good video even though I already know what to do. I just like watching them.

[@dl6321]

did I just learn Japanese or how to play ninja...I'm confused 😁

[@Motard.Actual]

So I’m learning this class. And holy crap it’s a lot but I will master it like I mastered monk

[@dalgona4819]

Ironically my issue was not memorizing Mudras, but understanding when to use what skill. The only rotation I was able to remember of all classes was the Dancer one tbh so knowing the right situations to use skills is how I try to play my best

[@Beau235]

thank you big help

[@aziraxiv]

Lol this video was sent to me because "you are in the background within the first 10 seconds" xD

That's the idiots guide? I'm doomed....

[@Autaris]

Looking forward to the black mage version of this

[@spacecat278]

I absolutely love how hard they go here with the class fantasy, my nin isent even lvled but I still appreciate how over the top and cool they made it, my best example is Raiju why tf does it have a gap closer version as well? Bc it looks badass obviously

[@joshuarees2583]

What are the daggers you have equipped

[@vyn8594]

Clicked on this fast!

[@derrick7806]

Where can I find the level 56 ninja mission? I just got to 56 and it said I can do the new quest.

[@FireDarkNinja]

It’s like Invoker from Dota 2 but the Mudras are less complicated but the class is more complicated overall

[@tacticslc4805]

Is there any reason to keep using Fuma shuriken once you got Raiton?

[@leocreuu3254]

I’m trying to figure out how is it in pvp one button does all the moves in the mele combo is that only pvp or can we do that in normal combat

[@HizzyAutomata]

i just unlocked ninja and was so hype and now this video made me want to punch a hole in my monitor out of frustration

[@Astral_Drago]

Thank you, every guide just assumes you know all the technical info and brushes over everything.

[@TazzahD]

I think the main thing to remember with ninja is to just jump up, kick back, whip around and spin

[@starwarsfan-ye9hw]

how can you dash or dodge ?

[@NoradNoxtus]

NIN is deceptively simple and all the buttons work together in 1 minute harmory, it's beautiful. And who doesn't like teleports

[@vilesterben1215]

What is the glam he use?

[@rubencastro2247]

Based on your mouse position? I'm on ps5 no mouse....

[@terryb9197]

Well it looks tough but if I can master samurai and it’s 90 opener and roto then I should be able to learn this too. Whole time watching this I was thinking wow, it’s basically just the Naruto class and then you summoned a toad and have shadow clones so it’s clear where the inspo for this came from

[@cenfre2866]

Assassinate looks so much cooler than dream within a dream

[@terryb9197]

I'm a ninja main, I've cleared savage tiers and ultimates on it, I literally had no idea those mudras reset the shukuchi cooldown lmao

[@alex97480]

my god at first glance this look like super complicated...you need to remebered like so many combination but i admit it look super fun, i might want to try it

[@vapaman3353]

Thank you.

[@MelGibsonsFist]

You have the best job guides! Thank you, you convinced me I want no part of the Ninja.

[@aaronrl.02]

i love this class is like a invoker in dota 2 need to know the combinatios of the elemets to prepare a skill niceee

[@iambecomejeff]

This has to be the most complicated sounding class I've seen for a game; I want to play it so bad but god damn lol

[@aldenencluna6409]

Nice.

[@Adeus555]

I mained ninja a few years back, it was very fun, engaging and rewarding... the problem i had with it was it wasn't comfortable to play for long grinds. You always gotta be focused and hitting your ninjutsu's fast and efficiently. Also damage was pretty lack lustre at that time. The vulnerability debuff was the biggest thing they contributed.

[@primykins106]

I love this video if only to learn how to pronounce some of the abilities xD

[@leelawrie6976]

Haha so got back into ffxiv due to free trial being, well actually quite large. Watching these cause I also went lalafell so it was 2 fold see how they look and also see what seems fun. The asian inspired dps look appealing but all seem so complex (plus I’m a scrub who has to use a controller) so I guess these also help there. Currently throwing the available classes at the wall and seeing what sticks

[@jackunderhill4444]

Just “Bunshin” 😂

[@walwal6449]

Mudras are fun af but i die on the inside when the boss become intargetable for a moment or i have to move a big distance to avoid mechanics and i just did a trick-mug... LIKE YOU BASTRAD I WAS ABOUT TO DO MY BURST

[@Digger216]

Me: „I want more buttons and flexibility!“ Ninja: „Hold my Shuriken!“ Nice guide as usual… You have a streak…

[@zurgboy07]

And here i thought healer rotations are the most dreaded thing to exist.

[@playa2daworld]

As a returning player I watched this video and realized way to much homework for this class. I will be changing to something more my speed.

I use to play 14, but that was 5 years ago... Now I'm lost with all of this lol

[@lynxace1602]

………… good lord

[@maroku007]

Lol dam this class looks sweet but to remember all those combo moves is insane.

[@MegastarFFXIV]

Don't worry it took me a while to get all the Ninjutsu stuff remembered. Just takes time and practice

[@BatKitKat]

It was surprisingly easy to grasp and remember when I first started using ninja before endwalker and they made the class a little smoother since then. Leveling it eases you into all the different mudras pretty well.

[@maroku007]

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely give the class a try at some point down the road.

[@BlazeBuds]

I'm not the best player and mained Ninja for 9 years and raided pretty good 3 years ago. Its pretty simple as long as you take your time, you only really use half the moves at top level anyway. Most important 3 things, Remember positions, keep Huton up at all times and use trick attack every 60 seconds. The rest falls into place

[@BlazeBuds]

​@@BatKitKat only thing they changed that I don't like is that mudras now can't be used in between combo moves, so it's a little slower but much easier I guess

[@isshaye]

This is exactly the guide I needed. Next time I trip and bang my shinobi, I'll know what I did wrong

[@getfkdmate]

Whaaat

[@jumbleskull]

As a new comer to ffxiv and someone who has just started rogue… this video is anxiety provoking and discouraging

[@saadamo1419]

[@KuroTheWolf]

I played ninja before shadowbringers. Thought about coming back to it but nvm lmao.

[@setsuna5919]

Is it just me or it seems that this job is not so controller friendly also as a newbie of this job it will requires a LOT of muscle memory practice or you're practically gone during savage/extremes panic mode

[@BlazeBuds]

I have mained it on controller for 9 years and cleared 3 savage fights and several ex fights back in the day. Just takes getting used to and having everything in the right spot, also using the extended hotbars helps alot

[@GaryTaro45]

Never play Ninja, definitely will try…… after the video, I don’t remember a single skill name 🤣🤣🤣 and I want a Jacuzzi…. (Huh?!)
