NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[Abraxis]

Wonder if Ninja will be tank or damage

Pure damage, like it's supposed to be. Confirmed by Yoshi himself.

I really hope they dont add thief. I want a melee healer dancer instead, not two jobs that fill the same (already stuffed) role with only a few differences between them. And unless you want to wait for an expansion, thief would just be a dps, since yoshi said no new tanks or healers til then.

What about non-healer support classes? They're meant to be coming at some point...

I'd guess they'll introduce hybrid roles on an expansion or major patches, and they'll come then.

I'm guessing the main stat will be DEX, rather than STR (because dual wielding).

I am curious as to what secondary class will be needed. I could see cross classing from pugilist and archer pretty easily. Probably be a good idea to level a pug just to be safe.

Walter White, I was thinking Archer/Marauder, since Merlwyb (<3) was a pirate and she dual wields.

I'd put money on PUG. Of course, I would have put money on ethics never being used as an argument for not including THF, so take it with a grain of salt.

Cross-classing skills, sure. But for the actual necessary job requirements, I'm not seeing how PUG would be it.

Then again, what job are we even talking about? o_¬

Ninja will almost certainly benefit from Blood for Blood, if they can be smart and avoid damage. I could definitely see them pulling from Pugilist skills like Internal Release though.

Did they say anything about the weapons, in regards to if it's one weapon that fits both hands like Pugilist, or if it's one weapon for each hand for true dual weilding? And most importantly, can they equip the Fuma gear? They better be able to equip Fuma gear.

They said the class would dual-wield, but NIN daggers or whatever they use would be a set, so when you loot a weapon it's actually a pair of them. I don't think it will take up the main hand/off-hand slots, though.
