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

Since this got raised, I'm just going to drop this here.

Massively: Any chance we can find out about what equipment Rogues/Ninjas will wear so we can prepare ahead of time?

Naoki Yoshida, producer: First off, because the class is going to be a melee DPS-type class, that gear that you have for other melee DPS classes and jobs is probably something that you'll want to hold on to. On the other hand, weapons are all going to be new because it's going to be a special type -- the dual wield. While you can use existing gear, the weapons will be all new and players can have fun collecting them. As for the special and Primal weapons, there will be rogue and ninja versions

We talked about it, and I'm not one to lie to the fans,

I choked on my own laughter.

I doubt that Ninja can wear the Fuma set from CT.
Monk have it own CT set, Dragoon have it own CT set, Bard have it own CT set and Ninja would also get his own CT set.
Only CT sets that get shared between different jobs are Healer set, Mage set and Tank set

Hopefully, once Musketeers come out, some other class will get a piece of the action - Woodworking is a possibility since many rifles are partially made of wood; Goldsmith is another possibility, due to them dealing with intricate machinery. Or, dare I hope, the under-utilized Alchemist, because of the explosives involved?

DoH for finished guns woul be blacksmith (the other DoH classes would only craft parts)

It is in the fires and on the anvils of blacksmiths that weapons and tools of metal are crafted. Their work is in demand far and wide, whether it be hammering the blade of a sword at the forge, or whetting the edge of an axe at camp.
Limsa Lominsa has been renowned for its blacksmithing tradition since antiquity, though the advanced metallurgical techniques passed on today bear little resemblance to the simple practices of ancient times. The relatively recent birth of firearms has created an entirely new area of expertise which is being adopted with fervor by many ambitious smiths.

Monk and Dragoon have differing sets because they have different defense priorities in their sets. Matching up ilvl to ilvl, Mnk has an equal amount of physical and magic defense, while Drg has more physical defense, but less magic defense than a mnk. Seems pointless, but it's a reoccurring element when the devs. implement gear for mnk and drg. Idk if they will connect Nin to Mnk, but their is a design reason behind giving mnk and drg differing sets (defense priorities) that might not be there when assigning gear to NIN.
