I just realized that even if they give the af head some great stats, if conflicts with Mpaca head which at R30 is amazing and so tough to beat for stuff like Ten and Zesho.

Yeah, feels like it would still be:

Nyame for hybrids
Mpaca for Ten Zessho Savage Shun

So unless they put some completely new stats on AF head, a bit more WSD would only be appealing for Metsu, Hi, maybe Kamu?

A new shuriken feels like it would be a pretty sensible addition to items obtained with the new Imperial Standing Accolades from Besieged. Maybe in future Besieged updates/tiers?

And of course it's gonna be awesome and not sellable, just to kick in the balls people who can't find Besieged happening when they're online.

Oh, people here have clamored for that - even to the point of multiple inquiries via official SE forums that eventually garnered a dev response (spoiler: NO)

This feels like something that a wise old shinobi like Buukki would have been into? (much respect)

Can confirm there were those of us that took to the official forums to request this and were told that katanas were balanced to themselves as-is, so it would be impossible to then make them also dispense shurikens.

They thought that adding REMA shurikens would make Ninja unbalanced.

I don’t even want a rema level shuriken, just something with a little more oomph than some acc/racc/stp.

In the event that we were to introduce RMEA shurikens, we would have to lower the stats on katanas to balance everything properly, and we feel that this is not a desirable change.

I would like to see throwing skill not be passive for NIN.

I have advocated many times for ninja to have better enfeebling spells and a wider selection, similar to RDM in that regard. However, if it's a creating new spells issue or whatever, I would be 100% okay with consumable throwing items that inflict potent debuffs for "X" duration. Would fit historical lore and be fun, plus SE clearly has the ability to quite easily create new items if spells are an issue.

Seems like a massive missed opportunity for the job imo.
