Poll: Which of these FF jobs would you like to see added to XIV next? (Post ShB)

Wao, a lot of people wanted time mage, and very few for sage. Interesting, but my vote was for spellblade/rune fencer.

I feel like a lot of the people wanting Time Mage are AST players who miss how it played in Stormblood lol. Then again I could just be projecting XD

Yeah, I thought the time mage mechanics in AST were some of its best parts. They really could have expanded upon it within AST. Kinda sad to see how the job ended up this expansion.

I've posted about this in the other thread on jobs, but my position for what it's worth is:

My Assumptions:
1) Jobs (or really any additions) are chosen based on what will sell the expansion/get fans excited. $$$
2) Job choices are not forced to fill missing "gaps" in roles. (4 magical ranged including BLU before a 3rd physical ranged)
3) The way roles are organized is fluid. (It used to just be Melee DPS and Ranged DPS)
4) New jobs can be influenced by the place we're going. but this is not a requirement. (YoshiP was originally planning to do SAM in HW)


Job History
2.0: 2 Tanks, 2 Healers, 2 Melee DPS, 3 Ranged DPS (Initial Release)
2.x:+1 Melee (Balance of 3 Melee and 3 Ranged DPS)
3.0 +1 Tank, +1 Ranged, +1 Healer. (Ranged "split" to Magical Ranged and Physical Ranged)
4.0 +1 Magical Ranged, +1 Melee
4.x +1 Magic Ranged (Can be ignored, it's BLU)
5.0 +1 Physical Ranged, +1 Tank

My Guess
A healer and melee DPS as second; Possible magical ranged instead, but I'd bet on melee.

I know this is a necropost, but I will toot my own horn a little to say my guess was on point
