Nope! I keep hearing how great it is and I've only seen parodies of that famous lotion on the skin scene. I actually want to see it some day. :D

Yeah, that and maybe having some additional ninjutsu or bunshin abilities that allowed for one or two more DoTs and maybe some other skills that would lean it a bit more to a melee support class.

Imo if it's actually meant to be ice they could make it look more like ice.

When that ability first came out, it took me awhile to figure out that it was an ice ability, too. Just thought it was smaller shuriken since they come and go so quickly. Had to look closer after reading the skills description that it was an ice skill, lol!

Maybe giving the skill an ice effect around the user could help it better easily be identified as an ice ability. :D

Nin is like bard *old player btw just new account* it became worse and worse on enjoyment side than better.

In bards case it has been horrible since they removed foe requirm, just like ast became trash after stormblood.. I was going to make a video going over all this things i hate about many of my favoirt jobs today since i returned...

But honestly I keep getting side tracked, but technically ninja use to have a dot the poisons it had was just a buff to complete damage. to the point, i feel like honestly they doing the same thing games like wow did where they remove things we were having fun with which is why i quit before like old ast cards were the most amazing thing in the game and rlly fun (pop removed)

That's what happens when accessibility becomes too much of a priority to make classes "fun and enjoyable" for everyone. Some job classes just aren't meant for and can't be played by everyone. That's the whole reason why we have multiple job classes we can pick from. So everyone can find those job classes they are good at/enjoy!

Please do. I think it's a good movie.
You might not like it, but then at least you've watched it xD

Meh, if its horror, I'll probably like it. Not the biggest horror fan, but older horror movies tend to be scarier than the current crop of jump scare flicks, so it'll more than likely be fun to watch for me! :D

I wouldn't call it horror.
If anything, it's a crime story with a bit of psychological thriller

It does. It has Wasp Sting/Viper Bite, and it has a Poison Mist bomb via Ninjutsu.

I do miss the Poison Stances though. It was not really a tough choice between an extra second of stun and health restoration. Would be neat to see something like that return, but Ninja has always been a busy job.

Oh yeah, bring the poisons back!

NIN probably has the most gameplay roleplay out of all the jobs (which I respect, even though I don't really like the Ninja theme itself, no fault to SE, I definitely notice all the little flares in design, all fours, stealth, mug, many toolkit options, etc).. I wouldn't mind seeing the poison come back in addition to that. Though I do feel NIN theme is less poison based at this point as that was really a leftover of Thief being absorbed into NIN. Maybe Viper will uh.. have venom... I think Viper is going to be the elements of Thief that people lost to NIN, in some sense. (Yes I'm aware the class is called Rogue and not Thief, long ago they made this choice because they felt like a city state would not host a guild of Thieves, but would do so for Rogues and in that era all jobs had classes, so it was a thing they felt they had to do unlike now where we go straight job. In an interview they said effectively they're the same-- in their mind lol).

So I wouldn't mind it, but I think it might be better if NIN continued to go in the themes it has (ninjitsu assassin), and then Viper can pick up the scoundrel bits that were lost. But it's not a strong opinion and I respect that you want to see poison, just my thought on what would be thematically stronger.
