So, now Monk/Dragoon have to compete with yet another class?

[Prototype909]

In terms of slaying drops potentially? Dexterity is billed as a range exclusive stat so far so why is it fair that now Monk and Dragoon have to compete even further for slaying accessory drops? The way the loot tables work need to change as they add more jobs.

We really dont have enough info to jump the gun on this one yet.

And that will ever stop people jumping to conclusions anyways? XD

True facts, but might as well start with the truth of how much we know before the crazed speculating starts xD

But they will anyways :/

NIN would probably need a separate set of gear maybe, especially with the ninjutsu which is magic.

don't think they have the same main stats I am Alost 99% sure they will be dex stats.

I also go by this.

Because I think Rogue will become Musketeer (that's why they didn't call them Thiefes?)

Musketeer would be class, There is already a guild for them ingame since 1.0 launch.

I don't know how you could be 99% sure of anything. They just announced Ninja in a 1 minute long animation video. The dex stat has a tooltip of "Affects physical ranged damage, as well as parry and block rates." Not saying they couldn't change the way the stat works or they couldn't classify ninja as ranged damage (which just wouldn't make sense), but being 99% sure means you have some knowledge that no one else has.

In the short term, having them use dex would alleviate some stress on gear competition, I suppose. In reality you aren't going to bring more than 2 melee in most fights anyways so it's the same amount of competition. But in the long term, it would just make new classes convoluted. They would be giving a class a main stat based purely on whim rather than what the stats are designed for.

Musketeer is a class. They already have a guild established in Limsa so they won't be coming from Rogue. The question is what job branches off Musketeer.
