2.4 Rogue/Nin Preview

[Kage]

Here you go

 

In today's patch 2.4 preview, we offer you a glimpse of Rogues, the covert professionals who preserve order in the back alleys of Limsa Lominsa, and Ninjas, stealthy masters of Far Eastern combat who have come to practice their art in Eorzea!

 

Rogue

These agile fighters pride themselves on their skills with knives and daggers to make quick work of enemies.

 

Lurking in the shadows, adhering to no laws but their own, they punish the wicked, pilfering their ill-gotten gains and delivering them to the downtrodden masses. Thought by many to be mere common criminals, some would say they play an unseen hand in maintaining order in the buccaneer's haven of Limsa Lominsa.

Ninja

Hailing from the war-torn lands of the Far East, the secret arts of the ninja were born of necessity, and have since given rise to a unique breed of highly-trained combatants.

 

Able to manipulate the vital energies of the land, the air, and living beings, they manifest their power through the weaving of signs, unleashing a wide array of attacks against their foes. Master the arts of the ninja and learn to bend the tide of battle to your will.

Dem question marks tho.

[Kage]

Spoilers Berrod! Spoilers!!11

 

I wish they would throw us a bone on the sub class though

[Berrod Armstrong]

I made a silly guess that it's gonna be THM. I'll laugh so hard if it turns out to be true!

[Zyrusticae]

Good thing I'm capped on leves.

 

Gonna go through ALL of them.

[Aldotsk]

You need to be 15 Musketeers to become Ninja.

I'm a huge fan of the fact the Lv15 Rogue quest is called "Rogue Level 10" /nod /nod

At least it's not my fault! /nod

Imagine if the NIN is exactly like FFXI NIN, where you have to spend load of Gils to craft ninjutsu tools

[Warren Castille]

A stack of tonko is craftable by Woodworking**** if you find a Sacred Log with the new Triple Secret Botany nodes, obtainable with 430 Gathering!

Shame the trees needed for Utsusemi only grow on Othard.

 

TANAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Warren Castille]

Please god let the lv30NIN unlock quest require you to kill 3 Jammer Leeches, and they're all lv50.

 

Edit: TANAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Nero]

I can tell that it's an authentic Squeenix preview when reading it leaves me with less info than what I started with.

 

And oh boy, DPS queues will be fun!

Let's just make premades for them all. Clearly, a 4-rogue party will be balanced if we all cross class physick, and then one person gets protect, another gets stoneskin, and another gets blizzard2.

[Kage]

... I don't get the reference @_@;

And then Square Enix decides at the last second that Rogues are actually a dodge-based Tank class. Along with Ninja.

 

FFXI HERE WE COME, WAHOO

Edit: TANAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

Also what if we have the skill or limit break called Mijin Gakure?

 

Info: Sacrifices user to damage an enemy

 

 

We all played NIN for dual wielding for sub class abilities

[Warren Castille]

... I don't get the reference @_@;

 

Hiromichi Tanaka was one of the longtime designers for FFXI and the masses hold him (myself included) responsible for the clusterfuck that was FFXIV 1.0.

 

The best gear in the game for FFXI? It came from the first two expansion. It wouldn't be replaced for three expansions and a level-cap increase. Everything was sidegrades and situationals, and XI had a lot of flatly bad gear and decisions in it. We remember it fondly now, of course, but it was a mess back then.

 

How put this, for the folks who didn't play XI...

 

You needed 44,000 experience to hit the old level cap of 75. Getting 6000 exp a night, spending multiple hours in parties used to be a GOOD night. That's if you could get a party, because XI had no solo content. Monsters didn't give incremental EXP: Killing something levels below you gave you 15 or 30 exp, if it gave any at all, and that proceeded to the cap. It's not so bad when you only need 2000 exp to level and can run around whacking bees, but you stop being able to solo comfortably around level 12.

 

I could go on and on and on. Tanaka is the battlecry of retarded design choices.

Must....not....derail....thread.....

 

I will say that a good party could get over 10k an hour if memory serves me correctly. At 75 cap you could pull in 12k+ for the thinger points (the name escapes me). I don't know much about gear though because I spent most of my life in a Scorpion Harness and Ohat, lol.

 

Edit: Jammer Leeches, hahahahahaha. I forgot all about them! I actually almost went and redownloaded that game for that free weekend. It owns a part of my soul and will forever call out to me like a siren on the shore.
