Expansion Jobs Speculation

[Telvorei]

We all know Ninja is planned for 2.4.

But looking into the future with the expansion on the horizon, were told that the new expansion will have a new tanking job and healing job, what do you folks think it might be? Curious on what the community feels might be coming to us.

CNJ nature damage job.
GLD damage job.

Soooo........ 2 more DPS jobs? Sounds about right.

I bet the new gun job will be a healer. Not that that's what I want personally, but Yoshida did say it wouldn't be what we are expecting.. when it came to a gun wielding class. I think everyone is expecting a gun wielding class/job to be a ranged dps.

What I would like to see is a Great Sword class/job. *coughDarkKnightcough* Though, I want it to be a melee dps. The only problem is we already have a lot of dps. I would personally hate to see it made into a tank, but if it still retains it's badassery and darkness, I suppose I would give it a try as a tank. Would still be much more enthralled if it was a dps though.

Unless they change how skills work for both those jobs, chances are no, and no.

Tank - Dark Knight or Samurai, depends on where we go
Healer - Dancer or Chemist, depends on where we go
DPS - that gun class

Just ones I'd like to see. people seem to think that introducing more tank jobs will increase the pool of tanks but in other game that's proven to be false so I can't see why it would change here.

I think they need to fix some skills, notably cross class and an expansion is the best time to do it.

Cure being useful to heal on a paladin, for example. With only base mind it's useless. I'm not asking for a one man healer but at least have it heal more. You take more damage while casting it! Sadly true, even while questing.

I predict disappointment (Rogue announcement/E3).

They may only release two jobs (Unless they stated otherwise, don't really read the live-letters and so on), but it may not be the ones' ppl want.

Not sure if Musketeer will be in 2.4 or not, so including it here. All just speculation of course, certainly won't get most of them.

Musketeer: DPS Class -> Job(s): Corsair (DPS), Chemist (Healer).

Gladiator -> Probably a DPS job.

Conjurer -> Geomancer [DPS, Cures turn into water (or whatever element they're associated with) based attacks]

Marauder -> Dark Knight (DPS)

Pugilist -> Blackbelt (DPS)

Thaumaturge -> ???

Archer -> Ranger (DPS, no support abilities like bard).

Lancer -> Soldier (tank)

And surprise classes/jobs!

Fencer (DPS) -> Rune Fencer (tank) and Red Mage (hybrid DPS/healer)

Thief (DPS, NOT ROGUE) -> Dancer (DPS/Healer hybrid)

Orator (healer) -> Mystic (healer) and Arithmatician

Whatever jobs they introduce, they better introduce new classes from them to evolve from. I DO NOT want a new job that is suddenly at level 50 already. I want to spend time getting to know it before I do end game stuff.

Dancer Job as a Healer
Dark Knight Job as a Tank
Samurai Job as a DPS
