Ninja: Walk in shadow.

I believe a lot of people may have seen this already, for those who didn't:

Currently DPS are:

INT x2 [BLM and SMN]
STR x2 [DRG and MNK]
DEX x1 [BRD]

Ninja being DEX we would have 2 DPS on each Stat, which would make sense, sadly like said it's subjected to DEV changes.

Description of DEX:

Quote:

---

Affects physical ranged damage, as well as parry and block rates.

Description can always be adjusted, despite some Ninja skills that seem to be ranged, not all of them are.

any idea when they planing to get this update rolling?

no they said they would be in 2.4

Even though Ninja will use shuriken in some of their actions, I'm thinking that even some of the katana actions will be "ranged." From what it looks like there are a lot of jumping type attacks. Maybe they are still seeing it as ranged because you are launching yourself.

Rogue/Ninja seems to have features in style of play of both Pugilist/Monk and Lancer/Dragoon. Nevertheless Rogues/Ninjas won't rely that much on position in battlefield as the latter two but more in how do they manage to use the proper commands for the Ninjitsu techniques in terms of time and order of execution.

Ninja skills seem to include 3 signs that are quick off-GCD, and an execution skill that changes icon depending on signs weaved and has ~30s CD.

Enjoy.

3 Mudra as of this video and an activate button to press after you finish entering mudra that will then go on CD, pass or fail you, failing having some interesting effects.(lol)

Mudra + Activate = Separate GCD after pass or fail.
Mudra is OGCD (of course) and have a very very short CD about as long as the animation before you hit the activate button.

Then Musketeer comes around who is an actual ranged DPS that would use DEX and break this so called balance again. I highly doubt SE is making NIN a DEX based class simply because it doesn't make things even across the board at this moment. Not to mention you cannot take those traits seriously because even the developers said themselves after this was released that they were testing many things out.
