    Well, not really much to figure out,
    It's basically a spam of Death Blossom.
    Katon and Kassatsu Doton where needed and another Katon by the end of most of them.
    Add the use of a B4B and IR to the window and you do a bit more.

    Other than that there really isn't much else

    The reason I ask is, I remember once in Baelsar's Wall in the ending run to the Ilberd Fight... The tank pulled the first group and was dragging them to the end. But the ninja did something. And as I was running alongside the mob pack, I was watching them constantly tick for 800 damage, and I kept hearing this "cha-chink... cha-chink... cha chink" sound as it was going on.

    We were on the move the whole time pulling them to the end.

    But I always wondered what that was.

    Reduced complexity, greater burst it looks like.

    Nothing exciting, but at least apart from Shadow Fang and Dancing Edge merged, gameplay doesn't seem to have been squished.

    Gotta say, I was definitely hoping for more.

    Death Blossom. It's their version of Ring of Thorns/Unleash, a self-centered AoE. No other AoEs are spamable or (if you consider periodic effects as "spamable") mobile.

    Most likely that was Death Blossom. There is no real reason for a NIN to wait for the Tank to stop running to begin their assault. If they steal agro from you while doing this, they can Shadewalker you so they get back to you. It is also viable to throw a Katon while on the move if they are doing this.

    To be less intrusive it is also possible to spam Mutilate on every possible target until the tank stops.

    On Kassatsu every tick of Doton is a crit. Personally I use Katon > Kassatsu Katon if the target doesn't look like it'll live long anyway.

    Ninja's only AoE weaponskill is called Death Blossom. It's that ka-chink sound that you heard, and it can be spammed on the move. It's a 110 potency attack with no damage scaling for more targets, and has no cast time. So that was probably it.
