Combat Gameplay - Ninja

[Squeak]

From the video it looks like they have a couple debuffs, (one which is the second part of a combo) and a silence on a 30 second CD. Mudras.. have a 20 second CD after they're set off, and the skill that triggers them changes icons to reflect which move it's going to do. That teleport seems to have a 60 second CD..

Edit: I see your edit Squeak

I think while a melee mage stat orientation would be cool I don't think it would fit with Rogue as a class and that would mean Rogue gear would have a different focus than Ninja gear.. you'd have a weird divide. Str/Dex I think makes more sense for that reason.

I would recommend removing that second bit (the part I didn't quote), that particular tool for getting information isn't taken kindly by our crimson knights :P.

Friendly warning

Thank you. I didn't partake in it myself, but I'll take your advice.

So mudras is basically some type of magic. So will Ninjas be DEX/INT base or STR/INT base.

They hadn't decided yet what stat they would use, but str or dex. I'm 99.9% sure it will be str only, no dex or int.
Mudras isn't magic, so it's not gonna be int. But str or dex based spell-like abilities, dont make sense either....but will probably be, for simplicity.

should be that hard to believe in a STR based Elemental attack.

After all Pug/MNK has Second Wind which is a healing skill that has its potency based on Pug/MNK Damage from STR.

2nd wind is a physical skill, so str is fine. spitting fireballs, not so much
2nd wind is kind of what a lot of anime heroes do, when they get wiped-out...they get an energy boost, and get up, get pounded some more to no effect, enemy gets shocked that nothing happens. yada yada.

the animations look way more fluid , the teleport animation is what BLM should have already ....

other than that the job looks cool ,and way more polished , hope actual jobs get the same treatment (for example , caster spells and some melee skills)

Glad I farmed my atmas and alexandrites in advance!

I had already started saving up items/materia to make Nin my primary and boost it to novus/i110 on launch. This vid pretty much seals the deal. I wonder how intricate Rogue's poisons are going to be I.e will they work as DoTs, debuffs etc. Im wish they would have shown a new pair of twinblades though. I also wonder how they are going to differentiate the mudras. I would hate to have another egi situation in which one is spammed 90% of the time.

uhm, from those data-mined traits, at least it seems that some of the poisons, is damage buff, cause one of the traits is advanced poison, that increase damage buff potency.
What it looks like: each time you use a mudra, another skill-icon changes, and you use that to trigger the combo. Using 1 mudra is probably not very strong.
They probably have different debuffs, so they are situational like ACN aetherflow skills.
I'm more worried how we gonna fit all the skills on hotbar, for gamepad...
