The NIN looked a bit lackluster in the video in comparison to the others but I think its because they had to showcase stuff at an eye catching speed (not what one is used to with the openers and all).

I am more concerned than happy about the chained Jutsus tho,
I do like it, it is a pretty badass concept, however I have 2 questions:

- Is the Jutsu ground the NIN's lay lines??
- Will we be unable to use anything but Jutsus while in the chain Jutsu ground??

Assuming your tank doesn't move mobs out of ground aoes and current values stay, you just gained another single target 900+ Potency 3 combo rotation which previously could only be done with Duality and Ninjas AoE just went up a lot without costing TP since you can now chain Katon into Daton, which is 570 AoE potency over 2 actions which is 285 aoe potency for the last 2 madras and 190 aoe potency per marda sign over the course of all three of them, since the first one has to be the shuriken.

TLDR: New chain ninjitsu just helped Ninjas aoe greatly and gave them another single target 900+ potency rotation.

Not too sure why that's a concern.

Not too sure why that's a concern.

Yea I do realize the gain of this new NIN mechanic.

My concerns are even in your quote tho:
- Is the Jutsu Ground the NIN ley lines??

In other words: once it is placed down, we must not move out of it in order to execute the 3 mudras and it'll be an AoE magnet?

and:
- Will we be unable to use anything but Jutsus while in the chain Jutsu Ground??

As to say: We want to use Shuriken > Katon > Doton. But what if we want to use GCDs also? Will the use of Spinning Edge after a Shuriken result in the rabbit instead of Katon and Doton later on? Once the ground is down are we FORCED to do nothing but Jutsus?


Both of these concerns will only have an answer once the expansion is live... or at the very least, on June 13.


And now a new one: What if we want to use Raiton but dont wanna renew Huton and we already used TA/SA?? Can't we use Shuriken > Raiton > Raiton?? or on the opposite, if its possible, does that mean we can rather go Raiton > Raiton > Raiton??

Not sure why any of those are a concern as you can't weave Weapon skills between Mudras now, so basically it changes nothing, and if you can weave in between during that period, it's a additonal bonus. . The only worry is if stepping out of bounds would kill the effect, which still in the end can easily be worked around in most situations currently and probably up coming fights.

Once more. Not sure why this is a concern.
