I have wanted this port for a very long time. I'm not a fan of Stalkers, I played a DB/Nin to 38. I just didn't like her.
I had hoped they would port Ninjistu to Scrappers to give them a cool set. Someone had mentioned a problem with Caltrops being in this set and the Ancillary. But that too could be fixed with giving some other power.
Hide -- Cloak of Darkness
Caltrops -- Venom Grenade
Yeah. my character is supposed to have ninjitsu but not go invisible. nc soft should be epic and make it for scrappers!
I agree Ninjitsu would be an awesome set for Scrappers. It's probably only a matter of time until they get around to porting it over. I played it on an ELM stalker all the way to 50 and had a blast.
So what would they replace hide with and not overpower the set for scrappers? It is in its current form probably the best all around stalker defensive set, mainly because it was designed specifically for them in mind and not a hand down from other ATs. What should replace hide if it ever gets ported?
A CoD clone might work.
I'm not sure the set would be overpowered. Comparing Nin vs SR, Nin lacks full DDR, doesn't have any kind of resistance or +maxHP, starts with lower defense values... The toys are cool but their efficiency in high performance scenarios is arguable, the heal is neat but by itself doesn't make the set too strong.
TBH, if the set was ported I probably wouldn't play it and would stick to Shielders. 
Perhaps a S/L & DD resistance auto power in place of hide and an exotic resistance auto, click or toggle power in place caltrops
that or
-"Shurikens" (the cone version of shuriken) that way a scrapper could have up to 3 shuriken powers
That or a recharge/fly/run speed increase auto
I'm just not sure what the difference between a Ninjitsu scrapper and a Stalker that goes blue side. It's kind of like giving defenders Thermal/fire after you can make a blue side corr.

That's how I see it too. Most people wouldn't play it I would think because of SD. I would like and play at least one and it would have to be a set that can't be with SD. But a DB/Nin Scrapper does sound like a lot of fun.

i still would like it....
A heroic nin stalker wouldn't be the same thing as a /nin scrapper at all. Basically, ninjitsu scrappers wouldn't be tied to the assassin strike/hide/placate mechanics, would consequently have much looser builds, have more HP and higher base damage, and thus would play entirely different. The closest you could really come would be to take a /nin stalker heroside, skip AS/placate, never use hide, and in general run around like a scapper with less HP who had 2 powers removed from his primary (including an AoE) and one removed from his secondary, and frankly I really don't want to do that.

Well, it probably won't be Cloak of Darkness it gets, but it would retain some sort of stealth power. |

And scrappers getting Venom Grenade?..........
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! That one isn't gonna happen.
Ninjitsu would be a cool port for scrappers, and will probably happen at some point, but they are VERY unlikely to get Venom Grenade in place of Caltrops.

That I do not care for Ninjitsu in fact if it never gets ported I never care. My personal preference is I dislike the set but that is me and nothing more I much rather get Ice Armor than Ninjitsu

A thrown "bolas" hold power power in place of caltrops?

Yeah...we should TOTALLY have it for scrappers. That would be awesome. so we should have it. I mean u could just take out sneak, they did that with other stuff. So why can't scrappers have ninjitsu. Right???
