Future for Ninja

Lol Blade: Jin the only reason I became a ninja in ff11 so I can do 2k crit Jin WS.

Next expansion skills (4.0) is solely focused on mudras.

Using a damaging Ninjutsu on an enemy will leave an appropriate elemental brand (debuff) that lasts 30 seconds.

Fuma= Wind
Katon = Fire
Raiton = Lightning
Doton = Earth
Hyoton = Ice
Suiton = Water

Huton is a self buff so is exempt.

Depending on the previous Ninjutsu used, the next attack will have an additional effect on enemy.

Fuma+Katon=Aoe DoT
Hyoton+Doton = Aoe slow or heavy
Suiton+Raiton =Single stun or paralyze

Would love to see what you guys think for more combos!

I always wished they had added an Utsusemi trait that made the old Perfect Dodge work against 2 or 3 hits. Now that they've changed it I suppose we'll never see anything like that, though.

I'd also love more "eastern" WS. All of our main attacks feel very Rogue-like right now, and I miss things like Blade: Ku, Blade: Hi, and Blade: Shin from FFXI.

yes , please blade : shun is awesome !

'Twould have been cool they implemented something like that for the NIN LB3 tho :/

True, DwaD is similar. We don't get to see it though so it sorta kills the whole aesthetic. Also, the name kills all of the flavor, too. Really, the same could be said of all the 50+ Ninja abilities. Eastern-sounding names would have been nice. All of our Ninjutsu have that flavor, but none of our new abilities do.
