Thoughts on Ninja Talent?

  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 >.>

  
  
  I don't charge my shuriken charge, I have almost no str and will raised, and I still do around 10k crits with an uncharged shuriken charge. That's what I meant by "immediate burst damage" -- uncharged
  
  And yeah, it would be pretty fun to see mobs run over the traps but...More often than not mobs are stuck. If not by infinite shadow bind, then by the mob lag the game is plagued with. That's why I can't really use it effectively. Dropping them directly where the mobs are is too difficult for no reason
  
  (if you guys who use it have any idea what I'm doing wrong aside from being zoomed in ridiculously close let me know)

  Str and Will? Max damage in your character window when you wield Shuriken? Reforges?

  I suppose I should have expanded on "almost no str and will skills" maxed. I have a decent amount, but nowhere near cap. Probably less than 40% of all str skills, and idk about will skills. I have a decent amount of fighter and anything dex related that also gave will (this also includes dex stuff that gives str) (though the ones I have raised give a pretty decent amount)
  
  Here's my shuriken max:

  Almost no str/will? Wow, here I am thinking her sitting what does he have like 200str or something? That's near cap >.>
  
  Well thank you for being more specific. That's around where I'm at str/will and damage wise. I'll have to check my Shuriken charge numbers again

  It's not near cap if I haven't come anywhere near completing even half of the total str skills -- I'm probably missing around 150 total max at the moment, but yeah. I do have an issue with being rather vague and get yelled at a lot for it by people that are close to me, so my bad lol

  Missing 150 total max is not near cap? I must have a warped mind then. Then again I'm not an uptight player who cares that much about skill caps and all that other nonsense. I never pay attention to numbers, all I care about is if a skillset is fun. If I don't one hit a mob, so what?
  
  However, things that take too long to charge up do annoy me as I have low patience for that kind of thing. Explosive kunais is just entertaining to me for some reason which is why I don't mind how long it takes unless it glitches and doesn't want to respond for a good solid 2 minutes >.>

  well yeah, that's not near cap. I don't consider anything finished until I'm at the end. So, pretty much the opposite of what you are saying. Doesn't mean I'm not having fun or anything. If I was in it for the damage I would have strictly stuck with archery. I am an "uptight player who cares that much about caps," if you want to make it out to seem like I'm some kind of villain or something.

  Yep. Take away all my enchants/equips and reset my level to 1 and it's closer to 1k combined, if that. I'm also in talent.

  I just always had a problem with people who focus too much on skill caps. I'm more of a casual player to be quite honest. But do what you think is best. If you want to aim for the cap, go for it. I'll hit the cap eventually. Slow and steady wins the race they always say.
  
  Alchemy is my next target anyways to prepare for G19.

  Then I'm sorry that you have a problem with me. Not much can be done about that if the way I play the game has that much of an influence on how people feel about me.

  I didn't say I have a problem with you. I have a problem with the philosophy. Big difference. Just cause I don't agree with caring about having the cap and big numbers doesn't mean I automatically don't like you. Relax.

  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

  
  
  That's a glitch, and apparently it only happens to select mobs.
