Didn't get a chance to watch live letter yet, How we looking in Stormblood?

Pretty good actually. Everyone looks good at the moment.

Ninja is looking AMAZING!!! There's a buff that allows us to cast 3 jutsus one right after the other with no cooldown. Also, we can summon a giant frog that spits fire! So excited for Stormblood.

Thanks guys for the responses, Can't wait to play my ninja when it releases!

Basically you become even more Naruto than before.
I predict mirror image for the next xpac. (That would actually be very cool, like 4-5 copy popping and attacking your target with a leap jump!)
Beside the frog, no new mudra which is a bit of a bummer imo.

There is also an ability that looks like that of leylines from what i gathered? No idea what it is

So for Job UI we get a pinwheel to show out Huton timer and a Ninja Scroll which seems to relate to a new mechanic built up from "auto attacks" that allow access to certain abilities most likey with their won cooldowns.

Toad seems to use 100, the Triple "jutsu" cast that isn't really triple but rather it lets you do sign 1-jutsu sign 2-jutsu sign 3-jutsu which is pretty neat and sound like it will flow nicely so to explain ti better it's like this.

You can Ten-Shuriken-Chi-Raiton-Jin-Suiton in that order or you could do Chi-Shurkien-Ten-Katon-Chi-Sution or you could do Ten-Jin-Chi aka Shuriken-Hyoton-Doton

so there is definitely interesting combos to be had based on the situation, the Shuriken will always be part of the combo then you can choose between Lightning/Ice/Fire + Earth/Wind/Water or Pure DMG/AOE DMG/ Bind+DMG and AOE DoT/Att speed up/Trick Attack activation.

It also looks like Mug has been redesigned to give you a big boost in charging the scroll. Another thing I noticed is we didn't see any Wasp/Viper activated so they may have removed those stances. However this is all based on the video, there are some inconsitencies like Shukuchi being used rather quickly after first one same with Huton into Raiton, since there was no sign that Kassatsu was used however, theory time.

Hide may have a new mechanic, "Gives you a free Shukuchi use + resets your ninjutsu timer" since they used hide, then Shukuchi and were able to ninjutsu again but only 4 seconds had passes and honestly, if they do make Hide a mechanic for in battle, that be pretty cool.

The shadow fang animation was used as the third hit of a full combo, so maybe it got combined with DE or AE.?

[TheLastDream]

Shadowfang now puts up the slashing debuff as well as the dot, so I assume that dancing edge has been redesigned or is gone all together. As long as you maintain your SF dot, youll have 100% uptime on slashing debuff

Thanks I do like that it does both!
