What if - What if Ninja Utilized Intelligence AND Strength

In most games, hybrids are only flexible until someone famous discovered an absolutely better way to play it. After that, anyone that play different ways will be scrutinized to death. It's an illusion of choice but also it's basically herd mentality. Never works out well.

Yah that was NIN's fate in FFXI...and the devs went with the flow even though they still had the chance to reverse the player base's direction. In any case, how do you imagine they would design the AF/Myth gear stats for this idea? In FFXI it would just mean having certain slots that favored each side of the job (BLU Empy gear did this well), but that wouldn't really work in XIV without other raid gear complimenting it. That would make NIN the single hardest class to gear potentially because gearing full Myth/Soldiery or full Coil gear would in effect gimp the NIN badly on both physical and magical counts.
