Ninja
Ninja is a melee DPS job first introduced in E3 2014. It evolves from the class Rogue. Ninja, like rogue, dual-wields 2 blade/dagger weapons and utilizes various types of poisons. Ninja will also use different types of Mudras (Ninja hand signs) in correct combinations and orders to create Ninjutsu and cause desired effects. Players can fail these combinations.
In the battle, the main focus of Ninja is to use its Mudras to create Ninjutsu correctly. It will not be as positionally focused as Monk.
- The weapons of Ninja is similar to that of Monk. It appears as two weapons but will only count as 1 item.
- Ninja is scheduled to be released on patch 2.4, before the expansion.
The Primary Attribute for Ninja is Dexterity. Ninja will share pre-2.4 gear with Monk at level 50.
Ninja will be able to use the Cross Class Actions of both Pugilist and Lancer.
