Which of course, has already been suggested. lol

As for my chemist idea stated earlier, keep it with temp items instead of actual items, don't want to drive players bankrupt, that's what we have RNG for.

That's what the potion bandoliers are for.(AKA Alchemist tools.)

I think SE should add Time Mage and Necromancer and a polymorph job.
Time Mage is the master of time and space thus they should get Comet,Meteor, Regen spells 1-6 or 7 as well as regenga since heals over time . they can be a big dotter maybe SE can bring Demi as their dot (Damage Over Time) spells. They would also get haste 1-4 and hastega 1-4 slow 1-4 and slowga 1-4 stop would be their version of petrify. Refresh not bad either also Regain spells.

Necromancer would work like Summoner you would get a pet as a spell at certain levels as well as a bloodpact type of ability but it would be called something else. You would only be able to have one undead out at a time. They could get all the spells the mages currently dont have that would be perfect for Necromancer but the undead would useit with their version of bloodpact so could use spells like Curse,Doom,Death,Amnesia, some more do exist just cant think of them at the moment. just like with summoner when you use the bloodpact ability they have they take from mp but unlike summoner they won't drain mp while they are out. Their main weapon like said earlier could be Scythe and Staff. Pets could be stuff like Demons,Evil Eyes,Imps,Lamia,Zomie,Skeletons,Ghosts,Evil Weapons,Hellhounds,and the larger looking imp type from Xarcabard S whatever they was called.
*Oh and to the members of Square-Enix who said having a Necromancer was silly because undead do not walk during the day, Undead walk around in caves, mines and crypts at all hours of the day in your game! Oh and undead are sleepless they are not going to care if it is day or night. if they are going to be restless they will walk regardless!

Polymorpher could turn into giant. But at a time limit with a recast of maybe 5 minutes or 10 minutes. If they turn into a giant they could do double damage for the time limit etc.. Maybe even triple damage at higher levels maybe somewhere between 80-99. could get some cool crush job abilities maybe a bolder throw attacks. They could specialize in 2-handed weapons >>> club sword axe katana staff scythe etc...

Maybe abit of a trim down...
Time Mage
Traits:
Resist Silence, II, III
Auto Regen, II
Auto Refresh

Spells:
Haste, Haste II, Hastega, Slow, Slow II, Slowga, Gravity, Demi (DoT sounds like a good idea to keep this spell from being overpowered.), All teleport spells, Warp, Warp II, Retrace, Silence, Regen, Regen II, Regen III, Regen IV, Refresh, Refresh II, Regenga (good idea of yours.), Stop (sounds like a good idea, but not a petrify effect, maybe like a super stun effect, even having it count as "Stun" for resistances.), Bind, maybe a few others.

I like this. I support this. We should set up a petition. :D

How long till they Nuke General Ruhjadeen too? The Japanese call him the Bacon general so their crusade against delicious bacon shall surely call him to arms.

Take that post and multiply it by the number of total posts Detoxy has. Add in some level of being braindead to the troll comments and that is Detoxy.

Lol, think Detoxy has been banned. They're removing all his posts.

The game will probably be back by the time you hit 1,000,000. If it doesn't, I don't want you to be disappointed <.<

I'd like to have the job Sorcerer. Masters of having all the elementals casted on his/her sword. And using that power to inflict a lot of damage. o.o

I proposed this as an idea for RDM melee bonus. Because RDM melee is crap.

I think socerer is the wrong term as traditional they stay out of melee.

Thanks :D
But seriously I'd would be interesting to have a job like that . Abit like Quistis from VIII, Whipmaster's 2hour - Spanking Spree :D

I keep seeing Necromancer mentioned. SE actually said that they looked into it, but thought it had too many problems with how FFXI works. What they came up with instead was Puppetmaster.

I think new jobs would keep people interested in playing, no matter what the jobs actually are.

Personally, i'd like to see Morpher or Chemist.

And the lower devs have hated it since. Not even RDM has been shafted like PUP has been, but at least PUP has slowly crawled out of the abyss and become a respectable, if not outright brutal damage dealing job. RDM has been declining steadily, and the level cap raises have been the deathblow. Subjob RDM is 99% mainjob RDM...

You can measure the dev's love/hate for a job by the absurdity of some aspects of the job. For instance, PUP can equip a Hope Staff, but lacks the staff skill as well as the ability to equip virtue stones. Also, they have the 2nd highest throwing skill in the game, but not a single throwing weapon can be equipped. RDM's Sanation Ring is pointless to equip (PLD get a Refresh ammo item from the same ENM), and they have Divine Magic skill that requires a subjob (WHM or PLD) to level (with is directly opposite to ANY OTHER SKILL in the game where it's impossible to use a subjob to level a skill).

I would like to see a job that specializes in wielding staves.


In melee combat. Mages don't count.

Actually fighting with them. Paladins with Earth Staff also don't count.

If I recall correctly, the problem was more thematic than mechanic.

Blue Mage is probably as close to Necromancer as we'll ever see, thematically; the same goes for Puppetmaster, mechanically.

This. Give it to MNK and change the animation so that it doesn't look like they're an 80yr old grandma, trying to swat a fly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Geomancer (with all the days of the week and whether effects, this job has ALOT of potential)

Chemist (uses potions and alchemy items to do abilities and cures/buffs to the group)

Templar (new Tank job that uses Polearm and Greatsword as their main weapon. They can also wear small shields while using polearm and wear heavy armor like a Paladin)

Bartender! now pour me a double Lagavulin Ltd. on the rocks! You're level 90? allow me to bump your tip!
