Melee DPS

[Niwashi]

Rogue/Ninja is essentially a sword wielding damage dealer. They call their swords "daggers" and a few of the low-level ones really are, but most of their weapons are long enough they'd normally be considered one-handed swords. (In Japanese, one-handed swords are regarded as short, since the katana is better wielded with two hands.) Graphically, they dual-wield with a style that involves a lot of spinning and leaping (weirdly flamboyant for a class that also involves stealth).

It's a fairly fast paced melee class that's pretty heavily focused on damage. (Their Goad is an important support skill to restore someone's TP, but it's a quick instant cast to throw in between GCD attacks, not like Bard's songs or something, which continue like a stance and many of which continue to cost them for as long as they're active.) Once you unlock the job, Ninja includes mudras where you need to perform quick hand signs in a specific order to get the effect you want, so there's some combo memorization there, but there's only a few to memorize, so that part doesn't get too complicated.

It might be worth at least trying out for a while to see how you like it. I find the job a lot of fun.
