Ninja?

what are some good ways to use a ninja? its feeling a bit lackluster to me

With a bow or blowgun, they can be great for spreading stun over a large number of enemies safely via Benumb (or Bridle if you're struggling with a mage heavy map).

As up close damage dealers they get access to double attack, and are fairly potent with a decent coverage of weapon types. They get steelstance which is fantastic, but are still fairly squishy if you're using them for melee.

While I haven't tested it much, it seems their damaging spells are stronger than in prior iterations. While somewhat influenced by RNG, you could probably even make a solid mage out of one. Especially given you have some other utility options like Shadowbind to distinguish them from more pure casting classes.

I think to compensate for how they were made better generalists, they were hit a bit in the armor penetration department. They feel like... weird rune fencers to me now, I guess.

yea they werent hitting hard enough with their dual wielding for me until i realized i need to be spamming breaching fright terror knights and just wait until their is a breach then they could actually do some serious damage with the dual attack. but for now ive switched to dirk+1 shortbow+1 for the stuns and potential silences but i may switch back to dual blades now
