Ninja: Walk in shadow.

[Synestr]

Watching the video again after reading your findings made more sense. It looks like it will be a lot of fun to play, the way the Mudra's build to change that one icon to toss a skill. The teleport looks cool, but I'm not sure if it is just gimicky atm. Can't wait to try it out though.

I suspect NIN will share right side gear with BRD, but will have unique left side gear. Much like the relationship between DRG and MNK.

[Maero]

Why do some of you get your underwear in a bunch. This arguing about a class and job that will be coming out only in october, lol
Everyone has a right to their opinion but nobody knows yet or have actual real facts yet as SE have not released much as of yet.
I do expect they will release info coming September however. So chill out folks, haha

[Zoeila]

what about those data mines that show dex boosts traits for nin?

[Kalamari]

Since DRG and PGL already share Str based accessories, and BLM/SMN share the Int ones, but BRD being the only class using Dex accessories, it would only be logical to have NIN share Dex accessories with BRD. Assuming Dex is NIN's primary is not a far fetch from there.

Not going to lie, I hope ninja is strictly based. Would be different if dex was more like ffxi and it affected critical hit rate. I am not sure if it functions like that, but if it did, then it would make sense for ninja to go off dex. Making the class a critical rate class would be pretty awesome.

It can be a crit class simply by having ARC and MNK as subs (also what I expect to be the case). If it is DEX based, Hawk's Eye will be an offensive buff along with Raging Strikes while Straight Shot and Internal Release can both increase crit rate.

Perhaps it will have native crit-based options to further enhance this.

Though it would be nice for drg sub ( unlikely) for access to Bob and invigorate. With those low to costs it probably won't need invigorate as much.

Is there any concern regarding leveling up this new DPS role? As we know, there's typically a long queue for DPS when doing DF dungeons. With (I assume) a lot of people wanting to try out this new class, isn't this going to further increase the amount of DPS queuers, without seeing the same influx of new healers and tanks to queue with?

That's inevitable with a single class introduction I'm afraid. Many people may resort to ye old FATE spam for their leveling. We shall see.

Though, perhaps the likelihood of Rogue being gated by the MSQ all the way through to 2.4 will help reduce the initial load.
