Rejoice ninjas!

I'm not even advocating a nerf to the job, I don't even really feel the need for a buff, and the job plays IDENTICALLY to what I'd predict after having read the abilities the night the patch came out. There wasn't really any room for surprise. I'll use Doton when there will be several enemies or one large enemy in place for a duration of time, katon for group burst, raiton when huton is up and suiton fuidama is taken care of. I'll gain ring of thorns with no complexity, and two disembowel rip offs. Oh and the two elements of life surge split into two different abilities, except it also resets my main cooldown. Doesn't really sound like anything new to be perfectly honest. If there's a WAR in the party I can even ignore keeping up the debuff which MNKs require a second MNK to achieve. Cool.

on a group i can see, but one? how is anyone thinking this is a good idea? raiton and suiton are the go to moves on a single target. doton you are losing dps. the heavy affect only works on things that heavy itself works on, so that cant be used as an excuse either. the only time suiton is used is when trick/sneak attack are ready to be used. kassatsu only ensures a crit, it doesnt have a gain life back. the only move a ninja has that does that is mug if you use a specific venom. as for the debuff for slashing, if there isnt a war ninja has to do it. if there is, its a bonus. its the same thing if there is a second monk.
its like you havent played ninja in end game.... oh wait.
