ninja gears

on this point i'm with you, it's just i find them choice too confusing, instead to change totally the dex they have done only half way. but maybe it will allows them to do stuff more interesting. but them announce was really bad in the way it was done.

2.0 was not a simple expansion it was a reset of the game indeed the rule change, you do this sort of change to an extension not a patch.

I don't think is a big deal that they do it in a patch too. Yeah there may be some confusion for the first week till people get used to it but at least for years to come new players will not get confused on why Ninja is not dex based.

What I would have liked to see though was something more unique for ninja. Every class has two primary attributes, one of which is always vit. Ninja could have had str and dex. It would fit their description well, deadly but fragile so has to rely on stealthy moves and avoiding attacks. The high risk high reward class.

no clearly not! i was monk in the V1 the dual stat str/int was really a pain, never ever ever again dual stats, believe me it's too bad.

Ignoring Ninja for the moment. I for one am happy that Thief (it's still thief to me, damnit) isn't going to be a STR based class. That would just have been all kinds of wrong.

i will be blunt, a stats don't definit a class, it's the gameplay and the feeling of the class... i highly doubt they did decide to make it dex for please people, but more because, like i did said they will not have a lot of class dex based!

that would make them squishier than casters...you'd have less than 2500hp, with ilv110 and you'd die from every unavoidable AOE, like primal LB, or T8-9 stuff; without vit, you wouldn't even survive titanHM stomps.
every class avoids all avoidable attacks anyway, so i don't see why nin would get special treatment for doing what everyone else is already doing.
dont expect any high risk/reward jobs, in this game...the closest thing you'll get, is being tank.
