Awesmoe glad to see the video finally. Can't wait to try them out. Wondering what the cross class for Ninja is going to be. I imagine Pugilist but I could see BLM or Lancer with all that jumping.

Really cool that this is just in a patch and not the expansion.

It is---but at the same time they said in the E3 live video yesterday that this is the only new class and job we're getting until the expansion. He specifically mentioned that new tank and healer class/jobs won't be here until then, which means we're getting another DPS to clog up duty finder wait times even more. It's possible tanks and healers will become even rarer as a result.

That said, my Lalafell ninja will indeed be a sight to behold.

I love that the AF armor looks like Shadow from FF6. Hated that the Mi'qote rogue looks like Zidane from 9 but overall really excited for this. Lalafell master race!

This is the perfect time for me to start playing this again.

Should be fun! I'm looking forward to the new tank and healer jobs that they've said are coming in the expansion, but Ninja will be fun to mess around with too.

They haven't mentioned the Gun class at all, which seems to confirm it'll be a healer/tank. Thought we were supposed to get both before the expansion.

Either way Ninja looks bad ass, but yeah as a DPS I'm worried about the DF times taking even longer, on top of all the newbie Ninjas that will be running around. It sure looks fun to play though.

Eh, people will check out the new shiny class and then go back to their favorites after a week or two. Queue times will probably be a little bit longer, but not dramatically so. (Plus, you always have the option to queue with a healer or tank to speed things up, or with a full group to avoid the issue entirely.) That's basically how it worked on legacy servers when they added Arcanist.

And that fact that you can roll duty roullettes with a full party now makes farming less of an issue.
