The future of Thief and Ninja (minor 2.2 spoilers)

[Reynhart]

I don't think ACN will be an exception. First, because Yoshida mentionned several times that they plan jobs to revamp action of their class for different roles.
And second, because there's really no point of keeping classes if jobs are better in every way in the same role.
And third, it would be useless for a class to have two jobs with the same role, so the difficult part will be how to manage these secondary jobs to work, even at low-level, thus the long time it take for clearly annouce it.

As for the gun class, they'll probably implement it first just because Musketeer's guild was in the game back in 1.0, so players really waited long time for it. I think this is also the reason why they choose Arcanist for the new class of 2.0

Wherein did he mention the bit about revamping actions to make the class perform different roles today? I must have missed it.

If you mean Musketeer coming before Rogue they specifically stated that Rogue is coming in 2.4 and that tanks/healers were coming in the actual expansion (a good ways away).

He mentionned that a long time ago, using Dark Knight from Gladiator as an example.

I meant Musketeer coming before new tanks/healers.

After the trailers at E3 I'm so hyped for Ninjas!
