Ninjitsu help

[Cerone]

Hey guys i was trying to use Ninjitsu skill- Focus attack i am at 75 and cant seem to get the skill to work.I have looked around for information on this problem but couldnt find a topic anywhere about my situation. I had a katana equipped while sparring and every time i used focus attack it disarms me and states i need a melee weapon equipped in order to use skill.

Also what are some good support skills for Ninjitsu i have looked around and didnt really see to much for what i wanted to do.

What skills would i need/stats as well.  To get a decent stealing dexxer,that knows some ninjitsu, im not huge about pvp really just for fun. Dont dumb it down to much ive been playing UO for years just not anything past UOR. thanks in advance.

Sorry the exact message it tells me is "You must be wielding a melee weapon without a shield to use this ability"
