Overview and Analysis of Rogue/Ninja class so far

[ChaozK]

Thanks for the read up. I want to mention though that monk has similar tools to both DRG and NIN if you look close at it.

Touch of death would be your stand alone dot similar to Phlebotomize and Mutilate.
Demolish would be your in combo dot similar to Chaos Thrust and Shadow Fang (difference to ToD is that you need to be in couerl, which is kinda how MNK "combos").
Twin snakes is your buff similar to heavy thrust (both from flank too, ninja actually is different here since for him its just a passive as you mentioned but DRG and MNK are fairly similar).
Bootshine, True Strike and Snap Punch would be your burst combo similar to the ones both NIN and DRG have.
Edit: forgot Dragon Kick, which is a 10% debuff similar to Disembowel and Dancing Edge

I agree that ROG has more in common with LNC than with PGL but all 3 have very similar tools in their main rotation imo. The difference is in how they use those and what they do outside of their main rotation, MNK having his forms and GL, DRG having multiple combos and jumps and NIN having one branching tree combo and mudras.
