the bolded statements are just plain false.... on a daily basis i kill dozens of MVPs SOLO on my kagerou without OP gears in ET... i have never had to reset my stats only needed to rearrange the order in which i got my skills.... and i have plenty of ninja in my guild who can level with throw builds just fine... it just takes longer than it used to.... there are at least 4 viable builds for K/O classes... and im not the only Kagerou killing MVPs... i will agree the aoe is a bit too small and tends to miss alot if you happen to be one cell off (which is annoying) and should have been made with either a 5x5 aoe or to be single target with splash damage (which Oda said he would try to push forward)... but to say they cant kill anything with these skills is wrong wrong wrong...
says the guy complaining on multiple threads that you only do 300 dmg on a poring lol. throw kunei is garbage now. you cannot contribute anything to a party with this spell anymore. you cant even level at a reasonable pace with it. explosive kunei is just a plain joke. 3x3 non ranged damage is just laughable. even the axe mechanics are laughing at you. kagaro are not tanks. they were not ever meant to stand in the middle of huge mobs and tank, despite their super cool evasive spells. yes its possible to level. yes its possible to kill stuff. is it a fun experience? not really. if it was still fun to experience playing with kunei ninjas, you would see ALOT more people playing them. they turned a viable class into a 'for fun' build class.
go magic ninja or go home
