New jobs ????

A chemist could maybe use temporary items, or create temporary items in zone based off a ja timer. That temporary item is lost after zoning or maybe after a set time it loses it's potency.

A chemist could then finally utilize throwing skill or maybe throwing WS to chuck offensive potions at enemies or healing potions at party members. Tactics style :)

I would say the craft alchemy would have no bearing on the chemist job to keep that balanced

Can't edit post on iPhone :(.

But also if alchemy could effect Chemist maybe they could do it so that potions/ethers actually become more useful by allowing chemist to empower the effects of these items. Because these items haven't really been worth their time to use them.

Actually adding the new job to the armor would probably take the least amount of effort :X

But i believe SE wanted an Even number jobs. we stopped at 20. We also have 20 macro books. it seems like this is where it ends.

I unfortunately think you are correct

I also thought a "judgemaster" job would be cool. The ability to tank with 'melee nuking', using JP as a stamina gauge, and creating combo's at the cost of this stamina. The more JP a player uses in one consecutive combo, the slower the JP stamina gauge would refill(allowing SE to balance out the DPS over other jobs). Also adding the traditional abilities like "red card" and "yellow card" which are forms of 'penalties'. Example, every 5 minutes a judgemaster can use "red card" once a target has used a weapon skill, this penalizes the target and leaves them immobile for 30 seconds. On top of that judge masters could be the great sword A+ job we are lacking, and fill the role as a new tank.

I would like new jobs too - preferably Druid or Necromancer. However I think 20 will be the max. I do think we may see a class section of jobs with merits at 99, I have seen this in other games. For example Necromancer may be a class of the job summoner, you use your merits at 99 to "Specialize" in a Necromacer line of merits/abilities.
