    Aside from NIN just having a very weak AOE rotation (that does need buffed), I want to highlight how NIN's AOE kit seems poorly thought out, incomplete and not particularly fun to play.

    - We have Kazematoi, that is single-target only, and it never gets used in AOE situations (look at DRG who still generates Wyrmwinds). So in AOE, I basically don't use our new gauge.
    - Katon doesn't have a follow-up like Raiton does. It feels incredibly bad to use Katon and just never use our lvl 90 captstone skill (Raiju). Wouldn't even be a bad thing to have an AOE equivalent to Raiju, and just have it share a button.
    - Meisui doesn't even buff Hellfrog/Deathfrog. For literally no reason. Naturally I'm going to want to use Meisui, even in AOE, just for that free 50 ninki, but Hellfrog isn't particularly strong, and barely would beat out the loss of switching from Katon to Huton.

    Then you have a situation of M6S where the adds move rather frequently. A large chunk of our damage comes from doton, and when it's likely they'll get pulled out of it, it sort of sucks even more to have to recast it. Possibly shorten the duration + increase its damage, or give us the option to move it once.

    Our AOE combo is literally two buttons and they both suck (like you need 4+ targets to even THINK of using it). I have more issues with the fact it's not very creative. It needs better ninki generation and to utilize our Kazematoi by generating/burning it. People like hitting buttons, but god the +5 ninki per GCD means you need to do the whole combo 5 times before you get a hellfrog. That's every 21 seconds for 50 ninki, not even counting the fact you're likely using Ninjutsus on top of that.

    I can talk about our little passive cleave, but I think that's less of a big deal compared to like... everything else.
