If I had to guess ide say Dream within a dream is going to be our 3hit ability

[Allyrion]

Compared to the Japanese names

Ninja
Kemuri Dama (lit. Smoke Ball): Suppresses enmity generation for target party member.
Kage Watari (lit. Crossed Shadow): Transfers enmity from the ninja to a target party member.
Issou (lit. Two for One): Buff which powers up the next weaponskill.
Mugen Sandan (lit. Three Part Illusion): Three-stage physical attack skill.
???: New weaponskill finisher for Gust Slash combo which prolongs an active Huton effect.

Smoke bomb = Kemuri Dama
Shadewalker = Kage Watari
Dream Within a Dream = Mugen Sandan

Those are pretty much for sure.

Duality might, indeed, be Issou. But I also feel like Armor Crush sounds better for something that increases your weaponskill damage to the enemy.
So one or the other is the Huton refresh skill.

The floating swords look like they're from FFXV.
We should totally grab one at a time and slice the boss for the actual execution of the LB, like the original FFXV trailer. Though I expect they'll just be projectiles.

Now that you mention it, they do, and I sure as hell hope the animation goes beyond simply throwing them as proyectiles of their own too. Tho it might be just that for the sake of animation lock shortness... which would be sad!!

Enmity management for NIN? *gasp* what is this?

[Dante_V]

I bet duality is the huton refresh weapon skill. The duality is that it is a weapon skill and a mudra.

Dream within a dream.... lol


Inception!

Or whatever that movie was called.

I just hope nin doesn't end up on the short end of the stick for melee dps. I'm still going to main it since I find mnk and drg rather boring in comparison (though I use both). Something about ninjas pace I just seem to like way more than the other two.

Here we go guys from reddit


Aeolian Edge: Now only applies full potency from rear. (320 rear, 280 flank)
Smoke Screen: Reduces target's current enmity. Didn't actually use it, but seems straightforward.
Armor Crush: Combos after Gust Slash. Deals full potency from flank, less from rear. Extends Huton duration by 30 sec (max 70).
Shadewalker: Reduces target's enmity gain by 80% for about ten seconds. Does not work on tanks (I tried).
Duality: Your next attack hits twice. Couldn't really tell if it was working or not.
Dream Within a Dream: OGCD attack with a 90s CD.

Really curious what the usage will be for these two skills. It seems like...an interesting direction for NIN to get enmity control abilities (and two of the 6 at that!)

The first one you would use if you (or a party member) grabs aggro.

The second would be like a form of quelling strikes. So pop it before your burst damage so that you don't pull aggro (or same for party member)

Although to be quite honest I don't really see myself concentrating on other peoples aggro and typically when aggro is stolen it's me.

Yeah I get the actual use. I meant more as far as how "useful" they will be in regards to new content. On face value, they seem pretty limited to take up two skills. As for the 2nd one, there seems to be conflicting info.

That last one said reduce by 80%, but I've also seen that its "transfer enmity from NIN to target", meaning its not usable by the caster.
