i respect your opinion.
all i want for the new class is NOT to become a second ninja.
i mean, fine let it deal damage but make it more useful for his allies (other than the ‘exposed’ debuff for enemies).
having 2 sole damage dealers in same weapon category can sometimes create a mess with picking which one is better. of course the new class’ ability waki can outdamage Ninja’s shuriken even without that long range from the shuriken.
let’s take assassin and rogue for example. they both have great ability, one is poison which deals damage over time (offensive )the other one is cloak giving self invisible preventing getting hurt from not becoming a target (self-defensive).
they both use dagger but their play style is in different direction. one can play safer and the other one can kill faster.
now if we include trickster which has same role as rogue but can be affected to allies (defensive) by creating decoys to avoid being targeted by enemies. of course, trickster can be also considered as ‘support’ too due to being very helpful at end-game dungeons and such.
