NINJA...New Pet Class!

[Shougun]

The whole basis of a ninja is to stay low ("keep a low profile"), that is what they are "irl" and that is what they were meant to be in FF - except what happened in FFXI lol.

That said I think because Yoshida seems to be moving away from consumables (no scrolls) and because normally ninjas have access to small magics that you could make shadow clone an expensive spell to reapply - in such a way they could temporarily tank but never could they tank for long periods of time (out of mana = death, GCD running too many monsters attacking = death).

Also using (ninjas) them effectively would mean that you want to use your magic (mp) for other spells and only use shadow as a last resort. Furthermore using the shadow skill would use up your GCD, so you wouldn't be able to use your other skills for damage (and holding hate) - basically sub tank.

Finally I think the shadow clone skill should reduce hate (monster lost sight of you), because thats what a ninja would be doing with a shadow clone.
