The real Ninja’s arsenal.

If you meant that in a sense that this collection is what you think actual ninjas in history supposedly used as weapons on average, then I have nothing to say really… 
On average? A simple kunai will do. Katanas are overrated.
u r just doing “bla bla i have ninja i know more” but no facts
i think ur another forum warrior without proofs

He wants the game to follow his wikipedia description and his very own “ideal” of the class and make it “realistic”. And yet he forgets that bunshins doesn’t even create clones literally.

Bow is actually way more efficient and less risky in most of the situations. And since people were pretty logical back then too, guess which weapon was the most used whenever possible? Dagger will do if you managed to sneak into target’s bedroom and want to assassinate him pretty silently. For quick escapes after detection it would be pretty poor choice as your primary weapon. Killing people outdoors or poisoning their foods were also popular choices though.

Katanas where not even the main weapon in the battlefield of a Samurai (glorified in media for using them, mainly an imperialist japan pushed deal which spreaded to the rest), they where mainly on horseback with Spears and Bows, Katanas where looked mainly as a simbol of status (much like in Europe, but with european Swords of course) rather than an instrument of war. Obviously it was used, but in the battlefield range reigns, this is why war is guns and the ilk nowadays.
Thinking that a ninja wouldn’t use Spears is a ludicrous dumbfounded idea based solely on stereotipes and fiction, they very much participated in battlefield and thus would use the optimal weapon for doing so.

I think those are true. A ninja can use mostly every weapon, including spear, but in situations which they have to be stealthy, Katana is the best option.
You don’t want to see a ninja running on the roof with a spear on his back right?
Please do enlighten our mr. ninja lover boy @Athem.
@Jariu
Exactly. They are train to infiltrate and to mislead. They have to well verse in different weapons to know how to counter, especially against guards in those era who wield yaris.
And not all of them carries a katana with them. That’s just the stereotype depiction of a ninja. Their job was to infiltrate/assassinate/delivery boy/seduce.
Might as well carry an extra rope if you want to carry a katana with you.
IMO if you want a katana class ask for samurai, which also uses spears actually 
This thread seem like a “Fix shinobi’s bunshin not working with class skills” but it’s a “make my shinobi the way I want”.

I hate your opinion because my opinion is obviously superior!
But I don’t think he wants to be enlightened directly. I’d have to read his rather long pieces of text about is fanfic idea of shinobis if he bothered to reply to the presented facts. This way lowers my risks while letting me rant away a bit :3

He’s a shinobi… in the game. Whose main talent is bunshin and ZZCZCZCZCZCZCZCZCZCZCZCZCZC
Nothing more, nothing less.[quote=“Athem, post:1, topic:214659”]
Shinobi shouldn’t even be able to use spear! I mean it…come on, it’s common sense.

The urge to quote it before he edits his way out.

Lol nice way to wreck already somewhat fragile weapon (metallurgy wasn’t that advanced in Japan back then).
Since op also bases his rants on it, Wikipedia is good for looking up sources but as a primary source, you’d have to be really critical. That article about ninjas is obviously written by some fanboy who thinks his imagination serves as a good source of examples how ninjas did this and that.
For example using red pepper powder to stun/blur vision is obviously a lie because red pepper doesn’t naturally grow in Japan. It was introduced to Japan during the middle of 16th century, when most ninja stuff was already done and it was getting out of fashion, to say, pretty soon (50 years) after the arrival of red pepper. Sengoku period lasted until 1603, after which all the ninja and bushido stuff started to decline. I have no idea how fast this chili farming spread in Japan but I don’t think it had time to become a traditional ingredient for this kind of technique, considering that in Japan it wasn’t grown for food at first (lol I actually used Japanese wikipedia for this info because I’m lazy bum who didn’t bother check that chili article’s original sources 
).
