ninja blind fighting

Why is it that ninjas don't get blind fighting? It seems like a very characteristically ninja skill set. In fact there is even a built in pose for practicing blindfolded.

Because that would make them tanky and they are a rogue class. It would counter their weakness.

What this means is that they come in, deal a lot of damage, and then they're a bit screwed and have to plan their timely exit. Thieves really exemplify this with their dual backstab skill, where a warrior can dirt in response to that and still win, but it does also apply well to ninjas who can do a hefty assassinate. Ninjas have a very poor weapon selection, and should expect to lose fights that they didn't start. This is especially true if they don't get lucky quickly with a good blind dust.

(EQ ADVANTAGE aside obviously)

So no, definitely no to blind fighting on ninjas. This is being used as a rogue class here, and that is not appropriate for one.

There is a lot of movie/lore/etc for ninjas including the pose you mentioned, but that does not mean that it would fit the game. Its kind of like Chuck Norris facts stuff, ninjas can do anything in pop culture. They slay demons.

Cool. Thanks for the response.
