I was originally a Fire Main guy and I had been nurturing other ninjas around his skill-set. But they keep nerfing him!! They gave him a major nerf in 2.0. Why do they have to make him even less viable??!!

Fire is the best counter to dodging ninja, due to death mirage, on top of that you have good debuffs, AoE shield and immunity, good damage and ignition as well as the ability to reflect. Now add a clone on top of all that and you have yourself an annoying main to deal with, while I think water is probably the worst one to face (she's the most annoying due to broken heals and poison), fire is not far behind in that sense
