Ninjitsu for Scrappers?
A dev, can't remember which one, stated that all power sets will be proliferated for all appropriate AT's.
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?
Nin tank ftw lol it could work.. Kinda
As far as we know, it will happen someday, but we don't know when.
You are correct that it shouldn't be too hard to port. Reversing the example of dark armor (which had its regular stealth turn into hide for stalkers), turn hide into a regular stealth (probably a clone of dark armor's, but without the perception/etc). Smoke flash doesn't need changing since it's only placate, the mez effect, not placate, the mez effect + temporary hide/criticals stalker power, and other ATs are allowed to have placate, the mez effect (it's in an IO proc and a few temp powers). All that really needs changing is caltrops; I would favor something non-overwhelming but possibly useful, my personal idea is a sleep dart with attached debuff of some kind.
Tanks and brutes would probably have a harder time adapting the set; it'd need to get an aggro aura somehow, and smoke flash would conflict with holding aggro, so it might need to be changed for them. Even then, though, simply swapping smoke flash for an aggro aura would work, even if it might feel a bit conceptually odd.
And yeah, I've been wanting this forever as well.

This is what it means to be a tank!
Smoke flash being change and moved down into a -to hit aoe toggle taunt with small +def would work for tanks. But then agian I know little of balance.

Just replace Hide with a Cloak of Darkness clone, done. EA has both a cloak and a taunt aura.
Smoke Flash could be useful on a Brute since they're not expected to tank all the time and it's a getaway power when you're over your head.
I wrote 'could be useful' because the power is so bad I've never seen a Stalker take it.
Ninjustu is my all time favorite secondary.
I'd love to have it on a scrapper.
I just hate playing stalkers so much.
Actually, I use to use smoke flash all the time to reset the mobs after ASing a boss down. Use to do it all the time doing +2/+3 missions.
Do you think Ninjitsu will ever be proliferated into a Scrapper set? I'm sure some one has suggested it many many times before but I don't stay on the boards all that much. I have wanted to make a /nin person ever since it came out but I hate how Stalkers almost only have single target attacks.
I wouldn't think it'd be hard to convert to /nin to a Scrapper set, just make Hide a real toggle. Then turn Smoke Flash into Smoke Grenade and replace Caltrops with something since you can already get it in an epic pool.
Just putting the idea out there, or I'm refreshing everyone's memory about it.
