I really liked the aesthetic of Ninja myself, the assassin type. But the gameplay is very different from what you expect from the assassin dps.
Nin doesn't get easier, it's one of the hardest dps to play. It has one of the lowest personal dps and you have to work hard even for that. In exchange you get a utility called Trick Attack that your party will expect you to land regularly, from the right position without forgetting it or missing. It's an easy job to mess up, you can clip, mess up mudra's, mess up Ten-Chi-Jin.
If you're the sort of player who finds a lot of buttons complex and likes to find shortcuts (which is fine), Nin isn't the class.
