Rogue/Ninja ConfirmedFollow

Low Level Duty Roulette would have been the solution for this back before the last patch. I'm curious how the ability to queue up for Duty Roulette in pre-made parties has affected queue times for individual DPS. My personal experience queueing up for Duty Roulette since the patch has been limited. While I tended to have to wait longer than the average time before the patch, I'm now waiting twice as long with no sign of progress.

As a PLD my queues are always under a minute. We definitely need more tank jobs. Too bad shadow tanking is dead in XIV.

Unless nin has great evasion monk hp and 20sec CD on shadows then Proly not. If so then we might have a ffxi situation were people took nin and made it into a tank.

You must be on one crazy backwards server. Any DPS job i do, it's like 15 minute wait, minimum. My PLD and WAR are always insta que's. SCH is slightly a longer wait then PLD/WAR, i'd say no more then 5 minutes max. The only time DPS que's are somewhat shorter is once you hit 50, prior to 50, good luck.

Clearly they need better actors.

This. If I'm in a hurry, I always queue on my DRG I get DF parties pretty much on demand. My BRD takes ten minutes plus, even during peak times.

That batman suit! I hope it isn't finalized.

It would be quite depressing if we got primal mounts before actual summons for summoner lol.

Either way, between Ifrit's Horns seem to be the 'kill spot' for a Ninja ability and Titan's is likely his Heart while Garuda's is likely her butt.

Couldn't link from my phone, but maybe this will work https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t31.0-8/10353522_10152505103485871_6232541901368705704_o.jpg

I'm disappointed that it's NIN rather than THF honestly. Or that there aren't both. For me it's lore/style thing. I've no interest in the Ninja as a concept/type but quite a lot in a THF type. It's a completely different style of role to me. I do understand where they are coming from but as Rogue is kinda underground anyway, I think their argument is invalid re Grand Companies. A Rogue's Guild is no different from a Thieves Guild... and it could always be alluded to rather than made explicit.

I think the thing here they wanted to do was keep Steal, Mug and Treasure Hunter out of the game. Just disappoints me a whole heap because I'd have loved to have played a THF and have no interest in NIN. At least how things are now. And no, being able to play Rogue for 30 levels isn't compensation because as soon as you hit 30, it'll be gone.

Guess I'm holding out for the new healer job then...

I'm quite happy that SE is going back to the original mythology to combine THF and NIN once again. For those of you who haven't played FF1, THF gets promoted to NIN. Over the years, THF and NIN were basically the same class anyways with dual wield, daggers, and sneaky tricks. If Rouge is the main class, that's means THF abilities such as dual wield, poisons, etc will transfer over to the NIN job. The only real difference between NIN and THF anyways is Treasure hunter(mug,steal)

Thief is still a hope among many of us, but i'd take a wild guess and say that if/when Musketeer/Corsair comes out, Rogue will be one of the base classes for it, in combination with Archer perhaps? Who knows.

I might be wrong here but does it really matter what the new class is? Classes beyond 30 are pointless. I would agree with your point somewhat if people could actually just choose not to play the jobs, but stay on the class instead. Unless they want to be gimp and probably not even invited to things though I don't think they can do that. Meaning that the class Rogue means virtually nothing to someone who wants to play thf endgame (and do not like nin). Or are classes actually used endgame nowadays?
