Job: Ninja (Just an Idea from some one small but big in thought)
Now I do not know if anyone has suggested something already for Ninja or not. But, I would like to Share my Thoughts and Idea about how ninja should be set up in final Fantasy 14. Okay so since some of the Idea I have is not in the game let Me start with that... For Warrior/ Black Mage/ White Mage/ Dragoon/ Paladin/ Monk/ Bard you have a preset Sub-Job if you will... But when I think of ninja I think of a class that there can be many different type of Things (Warrior is a person that can take hits and deal Damage Paladin Heals / Take hits White Mage heals Black Mage Damages Dragoon Does damage Monk does Damage and Evades stuff) While when I Think of Ninja I think of a class that can do multi things... Can Take Damage/ Evade - Do heavy amount of Damage - support the others. Now for the Part i'm sure people will not like...
Ninja Should be able to choose their own Subs (if this isn't something Square Enix isn't already planing for all the Classes). Now yes that sounds unfair but... I Mean ninja's can do alot of different things... Ninja arts (Magic) Dual Wield (Damage) Throwing Weapons (Ranged Damge) Evasion / Armor / HP (Tank)..
So if you wanted to be a Ninja the Focused on Ninja Arts You would Want to sub the Mage to help with stats (Ninja arts would Buff Tank / Debuff Target / DoT/ And then Any Spells the Mages had) [Yes the Spells wouldn't be as Potent As lets say The cures White Mages uses or the Damage that Black mage uses but! you can sue them so if you need exta Damage in some parts of the fight there you are to go if you need to defubb the target with a ninja art you are ready ect.. you Get the idea.. i hope haha] {Stats would consist of Mainly Peity and Vit int Mind(read the Stands and you will get why) a lot of different stats for a lot of different Ninja arts and the gear you would need would be very different form the other ninja type gear}
Now For if You wanted to focus on Dual wielding / Throwing Weapons (Simply you would be Attacking with your weapons to Do damage and weapon skills) [ Ninja arts would be used but not to use it against the target or towards some one else to enchanting your damage out put I.E. your shadows do not shield you but instead mage you hit multi times with a weapon skills (so you do not hit very hard because if you did it would be broken you do spike Damage) another I.E. When you hit the last part of your combo or the highest damage part use a ninja art to get it to get it to hit hard or multi-times what ever you feel is best.] {Stats would be Melee: vit dex str Throwing: vit pty dex
Evasion / Armor / HP (Would Want good armored Fro def+ HP+ and Evasion and subs that help that) [This would use ninja arts to Help them increase Chances to Dodge / Parry / block/ And shadows to help them not take Damage for big hits) Pretty usual tank stuff] {Main Stats Vit ALOT ALOT ALOT of vit) Yes all one them have Vit as a main stat will unless vit doesn't help enchanting Magic (Ninja arts) WOW! that was alot of typing and im sure you where reading!
LAST THOUGHTS
I hope... And traits would be like to help sub jobs increase that and ninja arts ect and some other random stuff I'm sure.... Now I didn't read this over because it was a lot to type (I am pretty sure i got it all down correctly with the right ideas ect.) Any Things you would liek ot know or how i would further have it set up just ask me. (Forgot to mention how ninja magic would be used it based on your subs I.E Lets say shadows is Ninja Art If you sub are Mages Now you can use it to target people and give them a Few hits they can take/ Tank use your it on your self so you can take alot more hits/ Ranged / Mele you use it to let you muli-hit) [Ninja tols would be in your pack i would imagine]
