Thread: 4.0 abilities

I would like a mix of traits and skills. 5 new skills would lead to further ability bar bloat and be a bit much, but I think a couple new skills would be nice. As a NIN main, here's my wishlist for 4.0:

62: Improved Armor Crush (trait) Increases the duration your Huton is extended by Armor Crush to 45 seconds.

Allows more uses of AE in the rotation and makes keeping DE up less of a chore if needed. A moderate increase to single target damage that feels powerful yet doesn't change things too drastically.

64: Hayagake (new skill) Delivers an attack with 100 potency to your target and gain a movement speed up buff for 10 seconds. 60 second cooldown.

As a NIN I often feel like the least mobile melee dps. Shukuchi is awesome and fun, but only available every 60 seconds. Meanwhile, dragoons are flipping around left and right as needed. NIN should be a mobile class and this allows us to have a sprint-esque ability to compliment Shukuchi. Unlike gap closers, this needs to be used proactively to apply the buff prior to movement phases, so it has a different feel from other skills.

66: Improved Kassatsu (trait) Reduces the cooldown of Kassatsu to 60 seconds.

Mudras are such a fun part of the class but only used every 20 seconds. More kassatsus = more ninjutsu = more fun. This adds versatility to both single and aoe situations.It also compliments my level 70 trait.

68: All Creation (new skill) Delivers an attack with 300 potency to all enemies in a straight line. 90 second cooldown.

Stole it from Yuffie's final LB. An off global cooldown AOE move, something NIN currently lacks aside from ninjutsu. 300 potency is a lot, but it's on a 90 second cooldown. Monks are tossing out 220 potency elixir fields every 30 seconds, so why not.

70: Improved Sneak Attack (trait) Sneak Attack no longer shares a recast timer with Trick Attack.

Rather than adding a new big hitting single target ability, why not just let us use one we currently rarely touch? Trick attack kassatsu suiton sneak attack would be so fun...

Just some ideas. They likely sound pretty powerful, but every class would be getting fun new toys.
