My Stalker needs to drop a Ninjitsu power. What would you drop?

[Vanden]

In order to softcap my defenses, one of my Ninjitsu powers has to go. Which should it be? My options are Caltrops, Smoke Flash, Kuji-In Retsu, and Blinding Powder. I'm leaning towards Smoke Flash right now.

I would definitely drop smoke flash out of those four, by all means. Retsu can be pretty handy to solo some bosses or as a panic button if you do not have capped defences yet, while caltrops and blinding powder are nice tools to have, totally droppable but not bad to have either.

I would go so far as to say you shouldn't take smoke flash at all, ever. It's not a great power in the first place, and on top of that you can completely replace it with a temp power that can be repurchased as often as you like.

While you probably won't use smoke flash much, if you are soft-capped, you won't use Retsu either.  Both can be dropped comfortably.

I can mule a LotG into Retsu, though.

retsu is good as a defense IO mule and also where defense debuffs barrage you -- can be a panic button if you catch it happening fast enough.  otherwise can be omitted.

 

smoke flash can go for sure... really dont need it at all.

 

blinding powder and caltrops are definitely useful if like their application.
