I've seen Dark Armor colored blue, and it looks a lot like water. Maybe use that for a secondary for your Water ninja?
For Wind, what about an Archery/Storm Corruptor?
For Elec, I loved my Elec/Nin Stalker, so I'd go with that.
For Void, I'd say that the Warshade is probably the best fit, but maybe a Dark Melee/Invuln Scrapper/Brute/Tanker?
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Did you list out Stalkers?? You've got Ninjitsu secondary and you can take Weapon Mastery even though those throwing stars cannot critical. I'll suggest Elec/Ninjitsu to start.
If you want a Scrapper with a ninja-ish style, how about Fire/Dark? Dark Armor has a stealth power that makes you ninja-ish and you have Fiery Melee.
For Brute, you've got Dark Armor and Energy Aura for good stealth.
And maybe you can explore Night Widow too. She's got some nasty assassin skills and she has stealth and smoke bomb which are kinda ninja-ish. :P
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
Wind: Storm/Archery defender, or Archery/Storm corruptor, arrows carried by the wind or raining down among enemies unable to see through fog. Besides, you can't have all melee types. You need one scholarly, ranged type.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Can't go wrong with Dominators for Earth. An Earth Dominator is basically Gaara.

I'll miss you all.
I see lots of potential!
Archery/Storm can be good, and I dont want all to be melee...
I was thinking about Plant/Earth dominator but I heard is not good sinergie?
Earth assault seems pretty strong. And I always wanted to try Plant control.
I think I will reroll the Elec/elec scrapper into Elec/Nin melee stalker, everyone says those rock...
Not sure yet with the void/dark ninja... Dark/dark brute maybe...
Warshade are also cool, got some melee range attacks, drain life and can stealth and teleport...

Plant/Earth Doms are good. The only reason they don't mix perfectly is because /Earth is mostly a melee set (it gets some ranged attacks, but the good ones, and the AoEs are close range or melee). Plant/, on the other hand, is mostly a ranged control set, with little reason to get into melee. Your main forms of control (soft and hard) are ranged. Seeds of Confusion (one of the best Plant Control powers), is a cone. So to fire it off, you need to be out of melee range. Also, Roots (the most damaging AoE immob) will prevent the KD from /Earth, but you don't really need that that much, since nothing's going to be shooting at you anyways.|

So if you don't mind constantly moving around in combat, Plant/Earth is fine.

When I was younger I used to draw my own comic. Manga style.
It was all about a group of Kunoichis (Female ninjas) with mystic elemental powers and weapons. Think of a badass version of Sailor Moon+Naruto.
I want to recreate the whole group in CoH, love the concept.
Now I got only 3... I can re-roll some if someone give me better ideas.
Fire ninja: MA/FA scrapper. I can say its the main character of my comic, is also my main alt. I invested more on her than anyone else.
Blaze mastery, Pyronic judgment, Reactive interface. She burns everything!
Water ninja: DB/WP scrapper. Leviathan master (I love Water spout)...
Cryonic judgment. Farming machine...
Wind ninja: I was thinking about kinetic melee, but not sure about the archetype and the secondary. Maybe Kin/Nin Stalker? Archery blaster?
Stone ninja: I have her right now as a SS/SD brute, with Stone mastery.
Not judgment yet, (waiting for new physical powers¿?) And Im not sold on her 100%... Stone armor is not an option, I hate the FX. Maybe stone melee?
Electric ninja: Got her at lvl 40. Elec/Elec scrapper. Will go Ionic... But not sure... Maybe she will be better on stalker version, maybe even Elec/Nin?
Void ninja: Not sure if I should roll a Warshade, a dark melee/dark armor brute (Nice soul mastery powers), scrapper, stalker or different secondary.
Claws brute, dark armor maybe? My head explote!
I got a lot of concepts but Im horrible with choices for sinergies between primary and secondary, with archetypes, etc... I always choose the worst secondary for a primary and the weaker archetype for a powerset.
I dont have time to reroll them all the time lol
I hope someone can help me with it! Thank you so much in advance...
