NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[ForteXX]

I still don't understand how datamining 2.28 can prove traits for a 2.4 class.

Because when testing stuff, most games actually load some of the data into the actual client well in advance in order to help test it/ease implementation. In 2.28, not only did they put in some skills that based on their descriptions belong to Rogue/Ninja, they also added 2 currently empty class/job slots, which would be the ones for Rogue/Ninja.

How to verify this? I like this statement.

Tank and healing jobs should have been added to the game before more DD. To be 100% honest.... An entire class/job should not even be a thought until the orginal classes all have their 2 jobs.

This is kinda a silly move all together in my opinion.

Everyone knows that the second job will be Dancer! Stop kidding yourselves! They will be the maidens of the new gaming area/hotel/casino :P

this is just mind boggling...
ppl are *speculating* about ROG using dex, to the extent that you turn it into a semi-job, where it got skills that NIN cant use...just so you can match your XI dex THF job image, into XIV ROG....
i cant even...

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

I read this more than twice and I still can't seem to understand what you are talking about.

Either way, its on topic to discuss possible jobs that come from Rogue. I love how up in arms some people get at the thought of a Thief Job. So odd, so weird.
