Got my Ninja to lvl70 last night, Love the AOE with hellfrog and the extra damage with bhava. Only tried Ten-Chi-Jin a couple times on some random mobs not sure how I feel about that one, What's everyone else think so far about Ninjas.

Ten-Chi-Jin is tricky, since the odds of ever being optimal with it in new content are pretty much 0%. The 3 second standstill leaves a lot of room for error if you don't time it properly you'll end up floundering around trying to cancel it. Honestly, if I was SE I would add the following.

Shukuchi: Can be used during "Ten-Chi-Jin" Depending on which part of Ten-Chi-Jin you are in the following occurs.

0=90% recast reduction and restores 60 gauge
1=60% recast reduction and restores 40 gauge
2=30% recast reduction adn restores 20 gauge

Basically give us the ability to escape from Ten-Chi-Jin without punishing us to severely, a Ninja should be able to Shukuchi escape if an AOE end up appearing over them while being able to restore gauge and regain recast based on how much they used or didn't use. So say you activate Ten-Chi-Jin but an AOE appears above you, quickly escape now you only have to wait for 10% of the timer and need 20 gauge to try again, if you get one off but have to escape then you just wait 40% of the duration to try again while just needing to build up 40 gauge.

I think this would allow NIN to flow better since they would have an escape plan without having to go MUDA MUDA MUDA BUNNY RUN and lose out on all that damage potency.
