ninja gears

[ZReport]

Idk why it took so many posts b4 this was posted lol it's so simple. And nin will share accessories with bard. So Nin will be having a half geared Brd by the time they get all accessories like monk has with Drg and vice versa. Seems nice to me.

It's actually been posted quite a number of times by various people. It was just washed over by all of the "NINJA WILL BE STR! HOW COULD YOU GUYS BE SO STUPID!?" posts. As I've personally said a few times before, SE will do whatever they want, so people should stop looking at the STR = Attack, DEX = Ranged Attack motif.

I do wonder what this is going to mean for accessories.

[Janhyua]

If they do decide to add dex equal the same amount of str that is on the gear that mean monk gets extra parry rate no? Good thing no? I mean not like monks need to tank anyway so is a useless stat so meaning they just lazy to add more gear for ninja but using old gear instead I mean I am ok with that actually I mean you don't really want extra set of gear just for ninja or else there will be too many job gear drop that no body needs in coil

they need to clarify now what they means, because yes, the armor will give str+dex, if the ninja is dex based... still any add of str will increase my melee damage since it how it work.

Maybe they thinking that ninja has ranged attacks like bard but they are dex based so the dex is there for it but ninja is still a str based class but at lease that's how these guys are speculating

It means that NIN will use the Aiming line of accessories.

As for Parry, the Dex-Parry conversion rate is really low. So don't see it being much of an issue.

Strength won't increase your melee damage as NIN, since SE will set the NIN Attack Power equation to ignore STR during calculation.

Does it though? They seem clear on intent on pairing mnk/nin off, I wouldn't be surprised if they added Dex to Striking/Gloam also.

And to top it off, rogue cross classes with Lancer and Pug.

That's possible, could be an either/or decision based on what secondaries NIN prefers.

Tbh I don't mind a ranged - melee dps that can switch back and fort but it does sounds kinda op I mean monk can't dps on range but ninja gets to range dps like normal so i feel is weird and unbalance

I imagine RGE/NIN having a vestigial ranged attack like Shuriken, but lacking real sustained damage at range.
