I'm another one of those who doesn't consider NIN to be a sword DPS, those are daggers and maybe some short swords here and there but mostly daggers so no, I'm sorry but this is not a sword DPS class (least not from the POV of one random NIN player). I agree with others also wanting an actual sword wielding DPS, it would definitely be nice if SAM could fill this role though I'll probably play it regardless just because it being SAM. For the moment all I am waiting for is to at least see the other 2 t-shirts Yoshida could possible wear and then do my little panic dance as I wonder (if SAM gets 'confirmed') if it'll be a tank or a DPS
