this is just my opinion here but woudn't it make more sense if it went like this? Rogue<Ninja<Hermit<Night Lord Rogue<Bandit<Assassin<Shadower Because assassin in MS throw stars(I think everyone knows that) but wouldn't it make more sense if the class name was ninja? because ninja's are sort of the people who started using them in the first place(Yes, ninja's did exist, my friend argued with me and i proved him wrong) And in most of the game's i've played with Assassins in them, the assassins used daggers Also i think calling 3rd job for Dits "Chief Bandit" was just a little bit Lazy Don't flame me please, just give a yes/no and why

CB was a tad lazy, but I think it's fine the way it is. +, if the name was Ninja, EVEN MORE people would chose that class, especially people starting out. OGM NINJAH They could rename CB, though.

i think it's a perfect idea.

I agree with renaming CB, but I think having a "Ninja" class would be kinda ghey to be honest.

Instead of Ninja, maybe Narutard?

I always thought that they should just switch the names of the two thief classes... I mean... Shadowers have a skill called "Assassinate". >.>

While on this topic, I sort of wish that the title "White Knight" was changed too. To me, it sounds rather... racist. I mean, I know they're not implying the person itself but the actual knight behind the armor. Perhaps it could have just been "Knight" instead of adding the extra word that would make it a bit uneasy with people who are offended by the color choice. And it would only make sense. When a page completes his training, he is knighted, not white knighted... >.> And another thing is a page. I hated how people always used to crack on us before paladins came out. Before anyone even knew that the name of the title of our 4th job class was, people were assuming it to be "book" or "white novel" it just sounds really lame and disturbing. It's really offending to some knights and pages and it even used to make me feel uneasy when I was a page. I would have preferred: Swordsman/Squire/Knight/Paladin. And while I'm on this, I think the title names for the spearmen class were a bit lazy too. In my personal opinion, it should have been: Swordsman/Spearman/Dragon Knight/Dragoon. The whole thing with dark knights is... well, I remember when people used to make fun of them, calling them Batman without a spear or polearm. I found that to be offending too. Sure they have the beholder, which is a dark little eye thing, but their main attack has a dragon background animation. So wouldn't it make more sense to call them a dragoon?

I always think Bandits should be Pirates. Also Brawlers seem more Thieve-like than Bandits.

Plus TS, that's kinda true, but I think chief bandit sounds pretty cool. Besides, if they changed it, we would be the ks'ers -.-

Well, "White Knight" implies that they are fighting for a just or holy cause... Which is further implied by "Paladin". ^_^
