anything that samurai can do, ninja can do it better. the only exception is glands, and that does not include the gland dungeons. the difference that samurai’s extra def makes is very small in practice, while ninja’s dps is high enough that you can feel the difference between the two.
however, if the samurai def buff that was on PT actually goes through, then you may want to consider him as a safer option.
have you ever used a st abe’s wand? well, ninja and archer can hit enemies off-screen with their abilities.
all you have to do is place your cursor on the quest icon, and it’ll hit the enemy.
very useful for cheesing, or soloing in a difficult situation.
very common situation is geb rage with few players unable to do anything: you can hit geb without having to move towards geb, and risking geb’s erratic movement.
this one time, I was in a tomb as a level 18 ninja, and I had to rely only on my ice star. it only took 3-4 successful shots to get myself a nile!
I prefer samurai but ninja is pretty fun too. If you aren’t liking his gameplay though you should absolutely switch.
If you find it boring you find it boring, nothing anyone else writes will change your mind. Certainly worth trying Samurai as it plays very differently in my experience. More like a Knight as it’s slower, a bit tankier, and has a very similar ability that does large amounts of short range damage while weakening enemies.
Now they’ve boosted Samurai’s stats to make it a little more resilient, with more def and spd in particular. Getting my Samurai back to 8/8 before trying it again, but I suspect it will bring it closer to Warrior and Ninja, both faster high damage classes.
…wait, what?
[HOLY SHNIKIES WHEN DID THEY BUFF SAMMIES?!? (Perhaps I should read the release/patch notes more thoroughly…) OB]
Ninja is not useless, mate. There isn’t a class that is useless (althought some players that can only play melee at lhs discord says that…). Ninja is good for rush and good dps.
Still it’s my least favorite class and I think samurai is more interesting as a cooperative class.
Also, any class is good without uts. Even covert is good, if well used.
People that say any class need uts to be good or playable, Especially Priest, are not really the best players out there, sry to say that.
All classes are useful, it’s just that some are more useful more often
If the Dbow archer didn’t exist, I would agree. You kinda need Dbow/Lbow to keep up. It’s really hard to do so with a triple shot bow imo. (Not impossible though)
My personal preference is for ninja. First off, speedy makes the game always go at a decent pace. It’s incredibly fun to be moving faster then everyone else. His DPS is also insane. Samourai is considerably slower but has more suvival and has the additional ability to help the group through his ability. Ninja has more potential in my opinion but it’s defence lowers it survivability if you don’t have a good pet
Priest is fun. I’m using that and rouge to start my rotMG journey. I haven’t unlocked samurai, but a friend tells me its pretty good. I do like ninja, however, and I like the katana specifically, as it dishes out good damage, and also pierces enemies. Keep in mind, I’m a new player, though.
Honestly personally I find priest incredibly boring without prot
Rogue is fun but I’m constantly too worried I’ll get popped when I play it.
I highly recommend warrior, its fun and very strong so it is 100% worth giving a try
True. Good frontliners. They buff and have good def/att. Personally, I like healing more than buffing, which is why I lean towards Pally/Priest 
that’s all I have to say to you.
