I mean............ Future ninjas.........

Karin....yeah. Don't have a comment about her. i guess because the reason for this, is that healers are mostly associated with Suiton. Jigokudo doesn't really have an affinity, lore wise. I feel that the Pains were given affinties to highlight the fact that the Rinngan gives you all elements.

Weird how you missed Kurenai who is a fire type but it's only a mystery. On average, you see most fire type would inflict a status (chaos, immobile, remove buff, poison, ignite, etc.)

Isn't that due to the chakra nature they have? I mean, karin is a healer due to her unique property and jigokudo just communicates with the KoH himself. Probably they have tried to force a healer for every element, but they still think as water as the affinity for healers (they follow the affinity description of each main).

Ohhhhhh yeah sorry forgot about her.

That's true... but it would be pretty nice to have at least one decent healer in every attribute. Kurenai's okay but the cooldown time for her mystery is a whole three rounds... and if she's the only healer you use...

I thought both fire and lightning had this problem, at least until the introduction of Kage Treasure. Lightning made up for it with the LM leech effect.

Hm, maybe that's why Fire has a ninjutsu leech too?

I think in general there are too few good healers, not only in fire element, and some too op ones that shouldn't exist (like sailor sakura and hokage tsunade). The game is too unbalanced towards damage. What misses currently are healers that also shields or grants higher damage reduction effects (like kurenai, but also by standard attack), healers that buff defense/resistance of the target and healers that add a regeneration effect (something that works like leaching, but as a set thing at the beginning of the round or before a ninja standard attack).

Fire main doesn't need fire element ninjas, he has other attributes like secret jutsu which can make a decent team with ino gnw and shikamaru, fire main isn't really made for healing teams to begin with just look at ninjas like Danzo and Han they all do things that weaken enemy team or other annoying gimmicks.

I think its just cause some elements excel at an ability while lack other abilities, (Example: Wind have great buffs/shields only have one ninja that can interrupt on the other hand Lightning have plenty of interrupt/acupuncture but a lot less shield ninjas.

Old Cee was meh. But since he got buffs and could heal 2 units and increase resistance to lightning ninjas. He made up a lot for proper lightning team who uses chakra as base dmg.

Mabui is only good with 1010 or Pb Sasuke team I think.

With Kurenai's breakthrough i'm sure there will be more people use her in pvp.

TBH everything just depends on main ninja characteristic and playstyle.

i.e. MB isn't a type to play a long term fight. Therefore he doesn't really need heal. That's why he only need immunity for 2 rounds and leech effect. An assassin, go in and out, skirmish.

Hokage Tsunade should exist considering she is the best medical ninja in all of Naruto.

Seemed to me quite blatant that he meant that shouldn't exist with the current sets of skills and abilities if the other kind of healers he talked about don't exist.

fire is supposed to burn, be happy hat they have a few ninjas that can heal or prevent death

For me No problem :D i using on arena shurado naruto mei fire main;Illusion, Fire Style: Fire Dance, Fire style: Phoneix, Genjutsu Mirror,Oboro Clone and King of Hell :D Looks like killing easy :D Ahhh... if you want by me a suggestion with water main look that team;

1.Lineup=Jikogudo-X-X(Naruto's sage clone will be here)

2.Lineup=X-X-X

3.Lineup=Azure Fang-Mei Terumi-Naruto[Sage Mode]

Talent;

Heal mystery,Heal standart, Chakra Blade,Enchament of Water or Healing Tips,Poison Tai with Lighitng Tiger King or Tiger King,

this team isn't good for round 1, but working to Round 3... Then, already they will die^^ Good Luck :)

Certain elements seem to specialize in certain playstyles/niches/effects.
