Future for Ninja

Hello all,

I have always wanted to post something but never really felt I could add to the overall conversation, so this is a first time thing for me.

I would like to state that overall I think Ninja is at a great point. To me they are the perfect class, balancing DPS and utility, making them unique. I also don't believe they are as disadvantaged as some people will say in regards to lack of AOE and poor TP usage. I feel buffing these two areas now will take from the class's overall uniqueness.

With that said, here are a few things I would love to see in the future for Ninja’s.

1) Classic AOE self-destruct move. (Mundra or OGC)
- I really feel this iconic last resort ninja move would be a great addition for the job.
Not only is it referenced in the ninja job quests, it would provide another AOE move. However I cannot say whether it should be OP and kill the user or be weaker and just reduce the user to 1 HP.

2) A distance/quick escape move. (OGC)
- This this a skill that is greatly desired by me. We have a gap closer but we are really lacking in the quick escape category for all those enemy AOE's. I would love a back flip getaway move where the Ninja either drops a bomb n flips away or throws some knives in the air as he/she flips away.

3) A group (AOE) assassinate, either a trait or a new skill. (Trait/OGC)
- This is something fun that I would love to see. Either have the existing assassinate jump to multiple targets that fulfill the low HP condition, just jump to 1-2 enemies that are in the proximity of the target or just include a new OGC skill that essentially automatically hits multiple low HP targets.

Those are just some thoughts I had burning in my mind for a little bit, any comments/opinions?

Yay a fun Ninja thread!

1. Just because it'd be goofy as hell and a lot of fun, I'd love a self-destruct skill. (Mijin Gakure!!!!)
2. We need more Shukuchi!
3 Assassinate Trait: If it kills the target, the coodown is reset.

I just want my forth muntra complete with doppelgangers, bat portal and raitionga.

All Rogue classes need doppelgangers!

A trait to make Sukuchi cooldown lower down to 20 seconds?? \o/!!
And another to make Assassinate work from 20y away!! \o/!!!

Would love Sukuchi to be a lower cd! There is something cool about backflipping though I love doing it with Elusive Jump on my DRG

Cool! a new skills thread! i too had some thoughts of what i feel would be nice additions to the job

1) A new poison stance, as well as some additions to existing skills to make stance dancing more than just stun and silence. for this new stance i'd want Jugulate to leave a heavy, Goad would restore half the traited amount but also be applied to you, Mug would steal a small amount of TP.

2) A new OGCD that varies depending on stance, not just additional effects, the entire skill would change, i.e in Wasp stance it could be an extra AoE, in Viper it could be a Bloodbath skill, in the new Stance it could be a single target attack.

3) Obligatory Doppleganger OGCD. Everyone wants one, give us one ;_;

4)And a new OGCD combo, including a skill that rushes you backwards and a skill that brings you back into an enemy, i feel this would be a huge help, while shukuchi is still quite good, its not as amazing as Shoulder Tackle or Plunge for quick gap closing.

A trait to lower the CD of DWAD and Dual.

It's probably beating a dead horse but i'm still waiting for a change to the mudra system. I'm sure it works fine for alot of people, but not for me. It's so clunky and laggy that the entire job is unplayable (for me).

I always wished they had added an Utsusemi trait that made the old Perfect Dodge work against 2 or 3 hits. Now that they've changed it I suppose we'll never see anything like that, though.

I'd also love more "eastern" WS. All of our main attacks feel very Rogue-like right now, and I miss things like Blade: Ku, Blade: Hi, and Blade: Shin from FFXI.

Lol Blade: Jin the only reason I became a ninja in ff11 so I can do 2k crit Jin WS.

Next expansion skills (4.0) is solely focused on mudras.

Using a damaging Ninjutsu on an enemy will leave an appropriate elemental brand (debuff) that lasts 30 seconds.

Fuma= Wind
Katon = Fire
Raiton = Lightning
Doton = Earth
Hyoton = Ice
Suiton = Water

Huton is a self buff so is exempt.

Depending on the previous Ninjutsu used, the next attack will have an additional effect on enemy.

Fuma+Katon=Aoe DoT
Hyoton+Doton = Aoe slow or heavy
Suiton+Raiton =Single stun or paralyze

Would love to see what you guys think for more combos!

True, DwaD is similar. We don't get to see it though so it sorta kills the whole aesthetic. Also, the name kills all of the flavor, too. Really, the same could be said of all the 50+ Ninja abilities. Eastern-sounding names would have been nice. All of our Ninjutsu have that flavor, but none of our new abilities do.
