It's not true, that's why it's a stereotype, but part of why DRG is considered such an "ace" class is because they tend to get the playerbase of people who only ever play the best of the best at something. It takes all sorts to make the world work, but the DRG stereotype is the loudest one.
Pretty much this. I expect the same to come of Ninja shortly, if it hasn't already. I've already seen a bunch of Narujas flipping around and spamming lightning mudra like it doesn't take any effort and seeing through smoke using sound :v
Meanwhile, Val hasn't mastered a single mudra. He can barely use water, and even then it takes a looooong time to concentrate. I suppose some people just don't like the build-up, but I prefer it. It gives your character... well. Character.
But what if they were always a ninja from Doma and not someone trying it out just now like Val? Â Doesn't it make sense then?
It does, but the class has limitations. Unless they're a miqo'te or another race with acute hearing, I'll never believe someone can "hear through fog"--and even then I'm going to be very skeptical. With mudra, the lore specifically states that it takes a LOT of energy to use even one, and that quick-firing them is out of the question.
