Ninja Cross Classes - Who gets them? Who do they get?

[Gilraen]

Some of their skills may not even be TP based, could be MP based since some of what they do could be considered magical.

I can see that with Ninja, but I don't think rogue will be as mystical. Take archer and Bard. Only Bard's quested abilities use MP, all of archer's abilities use TP.

the best guess is pugilist/archer, but we will not know until the last minute...

Fight or Flight and Aetherflow LOLOLOL Gotta keep that Mantra up! Dat Kagebunshinnojustu depletes MP->Chakara

i just recheck the video from the anniversary live (cf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?annota...&v=ppn5aGLfxSk) the sign don't have a cost, nor the the rest of the ninjutsu, we can guess they are based on a cd mostly.

then out the idea to put some magic class into it.

From the looks of it the classes it makes sense to Cross are PGL and THM. From a balance point of view, I have no idea how will THM possibly help them.

Also, we might see some classes getting the drop in favor of Rouge. MNK BLM and even SMN might see a change on their cross-classes. MNK would probably drop MRD, BLM might drop ARC, and SMN might drop ARC. A poison-user is more compatible with both BLM and SMN over archer imo. MNK is obvious since Rouge is pretty swift, and PGL already gives a very strong "Street fighter" vibe.

i don't see what the use the THM skill will have with the ROG.

i dunno if as monk i want to loose the execute we get from the mrd, but if the cross skill are good why not.

Umm... that video has to be taken with a shaker of salt because it's from a Dev-Mode build as evidenced by how the dullahan never dies (and the world is a grey checkerboard), and we have no clear view of it's HP, MP or TP. For all we know it could have had infinite MP running.

Pugilist and Archer.

Feather Foot, Second Wind, Mantra, Internal Release, Haymaker, Raging Strikes, Hawk's Eye, Quelling Strikes.

If you look at the video you can see that the rogue's innate tp costs are extremely low (between 40-60 ish tp), its pretty save to say that they are trying to avoid the need for invigorate. So lancer in my eyes is very unlikely. I think one of them is likely going to be archer because currently, straight shot and venomous bite are two cross class skills that can not be used by any job, reason being that only DoM jobs have access to archer and those two skills are for DoW. So there is a need for a new job to pick those up.

Now which jobs might gain access to Rog, i could see both melees getting acces to it and losing Mrd instead, just because its a tank and was probably only given to them because there werent enough melee jobs in the first place.

need to take into consideration that they cant give to much attack buffs.
archer would give straight shot, and raging strikes, pgl would give internal release, lnc would give b4b.
archer used to have pgl and and lnc...and it was to OP, so they changed cross-class.
so i dont think rog would get a combination of 2 of these. But depends on what skills rog get...if they dont get any damage buffs, then it would work. but from what i saw of those leaked passives, it seems at least some poisons, are damage buffs rather than dots.
