NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[Reynhart]

If anything the FFXI Thief was an Agility class with gear macros for Strength when you weaponskilled.

Can we close this pointless debate about what Thief was in FFXI since we're not in FFXI and we don't have the same stats in XIV ?

I don't know, can we?

Well judging from the Info datamined from the patch on this page:

http://xivdb.com/?search/!patch-Patch2.28

the skills listed go something like this (Google Translate and then I paraphrase a little) so please forgive me for any major inaccuracies:

lv - 8 - dex +2
lv 14 - fall dmg down
lv 16 - dex +4
lv 20 - reduced the movement speed reduction from stealth
lv 24 - dex +6
lv 28 - Increased movement speed
lv 32 - 20% dmg effect up specialised poison buff (highly toxic)
lv 36 - increased tp regen
lv 40 - 10% dmg effect up multiple specialised poison buff
lv 44 - 45 potency dot combo B-1
lv 48 - 80 potency knife throwing damage (PBAE?)


As much as I don't wan't Rogue to be dex based this seems to be what is there. But who knows none of it is implemented and could be changed at any point between now and 2.4
