''NIN eats good for another expansion'' Yeah about that...

Yeah, what about that...?

The only new ability I noticed in the job trailer was the Ten-chi-jin "finisher", and everything else seems to just be potency upgrades on existing abilities like Hellfrog/Bhavacakra, Mug, Fan of Knives, etc.

Would be nice if they got something that actually changes up their rotation on a more fundamental level like forked/fleeting raiju.

Fan of Knives

I assume you mean Death blossom? If so in the trailer it's not an upgrade to death blossom it's a new skill. Considering the nin use it right after bunshin, if it were a regular WS the clone would copy it with a delay. You can also count 5 regular WS replicated by the clone afterward. The animation seems to imply it's another skill unlocked by bunshin.

Doesn't change your point though, since it would just be another skill like phantom kamaitachi to use after bunshin.

It's probably just a AoE version of TA ( either upgrade or replacement ) as an adjustment to the new AoE Huton , my other guess is a AoE DwaD but unlikely .

@Most likely Bunshin was used just to build enough ninki to show off the new upgraded Bhav and Hellfrog with nothing new directly tied to it

I didn't consider TA, but seeing how they use it after the new huton it could be a possibility. I thought it could be an upgrade to DwaD but ultimately the animation kinda make me feel it's just a new WS to use after bunshin. In the trailer you see one nin in the air throwing the exploding kunais then another one quickly pop on the ground, do a couple of breakdancing steps and goes away. So it feels bunshin related, but maybe it's just a weird animation choice.

You're actually happy with nin turning into an off brand monk? The most boring job of the game? With that change for the sake of casualization armor crush just became leaden fists.

Ignoring the hyperbole, yes, I'm actually happy with what we've seen of NIN so far! Sorry! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Huton/Armor Crush as of now is neither deep or engaging and adds NOTHING to the rotation , it's just filler ... meaningless busy work . If my assumption that the kunia effects Raijus as well as Aeolion edge is correct , you'll have to balance and line it with Bunshin stacks to get the most of your weapon skills during burst which it'll add another layer to increase your damage . I'm personally excited for it

remove all busywork all the way down to ROG lvl 1
NIN at it's purest state
