Heads up this wont be the same/popular opinion
Disclosure: was a shb nin main for raiding & dungeon now i just use it for deep dungeon & treasure maps
Mug & trick attack are fine maybe a change in CD but the application is good , the real issue was/is the removal of shadow fang and condensing assassinate & dream into one skill to make room for the 2 raiju skills (reducing ogcds is terrible) along with adding hurajin basically making armor crush redundant
Before you even say anything about assassinate animation lock, it was something they definitely could have fixed just as they did with with other issues regarding animation lock
Also i recommend looking at some of the past removed skills from SB to get a better idea of what was taken &/or repurposed, personally i think it would have been neat if they kept jugulate as a psudeo interrupt, made smokescreen into a party buff that would reduce DMG taken as well as kept sneak attack but i digress as these are just fantasies (oh the irony)
