So there's going to be a NINJA class.....so who's going to tank/heal?.....

Greater community? Ha ok anyway, if they imtroduce some new tank and healer classes in 3.0 that are exiting hopefully mpre people will play those roles

Depends on whic interests them first.

Basic Rule of releasing multiple New Classes/Jobs is Players mostly play the one new class/Job that interesting them the most.

No matter how a new tank and Healer plays out if they don't enjoy the experience they most likely won't play a tank or healer.

This game desperately needs more interesting tank/healing classes. I was hoping Ninja would be capable of tanking ala FFXI, but alas... the whiners would whine because that's all they do anyway.

It not the issue of wanting a new tank but that Ninja Tank in FF11 was a mistake made because originally Ninja in FF11 was meant to be a type of Stealth DPS class/job but due to poor design it failed its role and someone manage to find a new role for it as a Tank. Due to this the Ninja in FF11 was adjusted to become a Tank class/job.

As Yoshi-P said before he doesn't want to repeat the mistake FF11 did with Ninja being a class/job that failed to perform it original role design as a DPS and turned into a Tank to make up for the mistake in FF11.

I know ima tank and play ninja

Just gotta be smart about lvling Ninja for the first 2 weeks to be honest.

1) Have 100 Leves stocked.
2) Have a number of lvl 1-10 Leves complete and ready to turn in.
3) Have 10-20 Beginner Quests (lvl 1-10) Complete and ready to turn in (if you can).
4) Make sure you have your Challenge Log empty of challenge completions if the update doesn't fall on a Tuesday.

If you're going to go solo and/or queue for dungeons, the name of the game is to preempt yourself as much as possible so you can quickly fly from lvl 1 to lvl 15 and from then on. FATES are going to be overran for a long time from lvl 1 to lvl 30 in the first 1-3 days, so you'll need to take alternatives wherever you can.

I recommend such a thing to anyone on a Legacy server. It's definitely going to be hell to level up on those servers.

Yeah, I guess queues for DPS will suck for quite a while when Rogue/Ninja are released. Good thing I already contracted my close friend to heal my Ninja to 50. Now we only need another Ninja to contract a friend of theirs to tank them to 50...

Hi Rie!

I'll probably stay off NIN for a bit and just queue my almost 50 WHM for stuff.

I'm more concerned as to who's going to put my eyes back in their sockets after being in a 24 man where 18 Ninja's are popping around like a Warner Bros. cartoon and I cant help but try to follow each and every one of them....

[Zoeila]

offer a mount for doing dungeons where you are level synced? i actually think the point of atma was to get people to do low level content.

[KingOfAbyss]

In fates I've seen people ignore aspects of their job that are important in dungeons. I'm sure you've seen it too: the monks not bothering to bootshine from the back; the dragoons ignoring heavy impact; tanks not bothering to position mobs so the rest of the people aren't hit with conal AoEs; etc. Because Fate mobs usually die so fast that it doesn't matter. I think that's why it's better to learn in dungeons.

Although I agree to your point, sadly the same happens in dungeons lol

^^ SE could could you pls rename "The Cartenau Flats : Borderland Ruins" into "The Cartenau Flats : Ninja Wars"

What does a tank do? Be in the spotlight 100% of the time.

You'll still be on the spotlight as DPS or Healer anyway. You just won't have aggro, so I am not sure why the community is so picky about this. It's just silly.
In many other MMO you could play as a "Battle Priest" or a "DPS Warrior/Paladin" or a "Tank Stalker/Rogue" so why does the general FF community frown upon this?
Because they're whiny.

As Yoshi-P said before he doesn't want to repeat the mistake FF11 did with Ninja being a class/job that failed to perform it original role design as a DPS and turned into a Tank to make up for the mistake in FF11.

It was the most awesome mistake they made and they should hope to make more awesome mistakes like this.
Ninja was an incredibly fun class to play, along side with RDM and... well, all of the classes in FF11 were fun, so...
