Ninja Skill Suggestion

[Stealth_Ninja_]

I have recently specced to ninja, and am noticing why it is not a popular class.

The main thing is that they have absolutely no ranged attacks, making them terrible against casters and rangers in open areas where movement is not restricted. A Geomancer could easily use deepfreeze to stop my movement and hit me with their ranged attacks like fireball, and chain lightning and take me out before I am able to reach them. Also it forces a ninja to take the beating during battle due to our lack of hp and armor, so this would be a a good balance to their close-combat nature.

So I'm proposing either a ranged attack to damage the opponent or to bring them closer to the caster

First, the skill to bring them closer.
Name- Chain-Whip
Level- 15
MP- 20(?)
CD- 10sec
Effect- Forces the the player or mob casted on to be brought to 2 blocks in front of the caster (must be a block not air)
Range- 10 blocks (?)

Second, the damaging skill.
Either the re-implementation of star, or...
Name- Kasarigama (yes I know this was a suggested skill by Kriskills, I am simply expanding on it)
Level- 40
MP- 40 (?)
CD- 20 sec
Effect- Does 15 dmg and slows down the mob or player for 5 seconds
Range- 15-20 blocks (?)

Confuse? I mean the geomancer will go haywire not being able to land a fireball.

If they can land a root or deep freeze me 4 (not with any buffs added) arrows could down me, or a geo could pelt me with fireballs while im stuck and then take me out before i can get close enough to hit them (they have pretty high health so they would survive a few hits).

Did you even read what I just wrote? Nothing in your post even remotely related to the fact that you can Confuse the target...

Ninjas are made for stealth, not for fighting a ranged class from across an open field, try sneaking up on people. I personally have played ninja and I felt the class was perfectly fine. Back stab does 18-24 damage per hit from behind with a diamond sword, if you can get the drop on them like you're supposed to, they're screwed

erm whut?
Ninja is one of the most used classes on the server.

As a ninja with the element of surprise you can easily 3-5 shot most classes
