I actually really like ninja nowas I've gotten accustom to the skills. Theyre doing really decent damage despite all being rank F for me.

Another thought I'd like to add, in which I haven't decided if it is a good thing or a bad thing yet, it has never taken me this long (time wise) to rank a skill/skillset. I ranked blacksmithing to 1 faster than it takes me to rank any given ninja skill to 1*
*on 2x because I didn't have enough ap during 4x

I'm not so sure.
Kunai storm was easy as hell.
Smokescreen is kind of a bore. I'll just be that lazy person who will use the adventurer seals to train.

kunai storm still took me a couple days on 4x, probably longer on 2x. Also I guess it's not fair to say EVERY skill.
Shadow cloak, sakura abyss, and smokescreen are the big three.I was referring to. Explosive kunai also took me a lottt of time

I dunno about you but it took me one to two days to get all their trainings done simultaneously per rank from 7 -> 2, with 2x.

I agree, it's really tempting to use seals on them. But even at rank 4 I managed to restrain myself.

dunno how you pulled that off when I can't; I've been doing this non stop (cause I'm botting) for like a week
*for reference it took me a day and a half to get rank 1 blacksmithing

I've done it non-stop, without bots either. Every rank just takes me two days, and I've done it on tir spiders.

Also note that ninja skills don't have exp reforge.

That's true but I also don't have to synth like 50,000 ingots or so to rank ninja skills

Off topic: how do? even with an exp 9 hammer, some of the reqs look like it'll take about a week til it can be r1
On topic: to be honest the only hardish ninja skill to rank is sakura for me. I struggle getting crits

Personally, I'm still convinced that ninja is pretty decent despite it's pitfalls. There's advantages it will have in future content, that's for sure. Lay down some traps to help deal damage while you run around trying to avoid attacks, reset the battle for a short bit with Shadow Cloak. Unsure if Shadow Bind is really going to save you against the upcoming generation bosses though...
Of course it's only worthwhile skills to spam is Kunai Storm and Explosive Kunais. Shadow Cloak is great if you need to catch a break. Rest of the skills are kind of meh though I will agree.
But, I found that doing Shooting Rush + Kunai Storm helped in ghost rooms of peacca considerably. Even more so if I got the ghosts to go over my Explosive Kunais. Also very entertaining watching mobs run over them and get crit killed. It's like a constant field of land mines :D
Plus all that extra strength boosts up my gunner damage on top of my ninja damage. 2x the fun :D

Why explosive kunai? I almost never use it. Shuriken charge on the other hand does a huge amount of almost instant burst damage, even if you use it without charging it. Also you can use it to cancel smash animations, etc
The reason I don't use explosive kunai is because it's really god damn hard to put it on the ground where the mobs are (because you click the mobs) and the cast time is like 3 seconds which is way too long for me. Maybe at raids though

Thinking in the future for fighting G19 mainstream boss more or less. Also more fun to watch mobs run over my traps. I can have fun and be clever and lure the mobs into my traps like Akule lured Bhafel into his trap!
Shuriken Charge takes too long to charge up in my opinion. Easier to get off just as much damage with a crit drop kick, flash launcher, or hell even a mag shot. I don't have the patience to constantly wait for my Shuriken Charge to charge up. I could have the mobs completely decimated with Shooting Rush + Kunai Storm before that is ready to finish off one target >.>
