Ninja - What abilities might it borrow from other classes?

[MartaDemireux]

First off Invigorate is from LNC, haha.

ARC could show promise with Raging and Quelling Strikes.

BRD uses PGL+LNC.
MNK uses LNC+MRD.
DRG uses MRD+PGL.

NIN, following that pattern, could probably end up using MRD+ARC or ARC+PGL being the only two DoW combinations unused. My best guess would say ARC+PGL but it might be ARC+MRD.

So the 3 possible classes I could see NIN using:

ARC:
Raging Strikes: Attack Power +20%.
Quelling Strikes: Reduces enmity of each attack.
Venomous Bite: Damage and DoT (this is cross-classable GLA/MRD/LNC/PGL and currently not usable on jobs which is why I think NIN would get it).
Straight Shot: Damage and Crit Rate +10% (same reason as above).
Hawk's Eye: DEX+15%, ACC+100%.

Reasoning: We see DPS increase, enmity reduction, critical hit rate increase, accuracy increase. These are pretty standard things for a NIN. The DEX wouldn't likely do anything for it (unless it affects crit rate at all) except for soloing but would be a nice tie-in for DEX usually being a NIN trait. We also see a poison which would make sense for a NIN and is already cross-classable just not for any current jobs.

PGL:
Featherfoot: Evasion +15%.
Secondwind: 400 potency cure based on attack power.
Internal Release: Crit Rate +10%.
Haymaker: Reactionary attack, slow+20%.
Mantra: Increases HP recovered by 10% AoE.

Reasoning: We see a bit of a DPS increase and some survivability (which all melee DPS have in some way). The evasion boost is the key here as it is very NIN-like.

MRD:
Foresight: Defense +20%.
Skullsunder: 100potency attack.
Bloodbath: Converts 25% of your next attack to HP.
Mercy Stroke: Off GCD 200 potency attack used on mobs under 20% HP and restores your HP if it kills the mob.
Fracture: Damage and DoT.

Reasoning: The other melee DPS use it. It offers tools for survivability, a DoT and an strong off-GCD attack.
