Tertiary Jobs

I would have liked to have seen this implemented long, long ago; even at the level 75 cap.

How about having a third job that caps at half your support job level, 1/4 of your main job level?

I.E. PLD90/NIN45/WAR22 or COR90/RNG45/NIN22, or even BRD90/WHM45/BLM22 (so you could both backup heal and ES songs when needed)

I don't think there are too many JA or spells or the like that would break the game balance if it was implemented with caution. Like nerfing Provoke to grab less hate if WAR is your tertiary job or making utsu: ichi only grant 2 shadows, etc. Even at level 99 you would be capped at 99/49/24, so you wouldn't get some of the nice level 25 abilities that might break game mechanics, though none really come to mind at the moment.

I think it could be a great way to build some more versatility into our characters.

I do realize, though, that it would probably take far more effort to implement than SE is willing to invest. It could, and probably would, break a few elements of balance we'd probably want to preserve. But hey, it's just an idea! :p

At 90 you will grow to hate the PLD/NIN/WAR.

Why's that? Super tough tank with shadows and provoke... seems pretty sploitz to me.

Fun, but unbalanced I'm afraid.

Considering how SE is constantly upping abilities, I wouldnt see it as too much, even at the lower levels.

TH1/Sneak Attack for everybody!

a friend and I had this very discussion bout 2 years ago.I think it would be interesting especially since lvl increase.

How about everybody being able to //whm for sneak/invis?! no more having to wait around to sneak people who are too cheap to buy oils! YAR!

@99 you'd still only have Sneak.

oh... u're right... hmm... oh well, still worth it. Most times I don't even use invis, I just run behind mobs and outside of their peripheral because it's more fun!

I've thought about this idea as well. I would love a third sub job...Like a WHM/BLM/RDM...more MP! YAY!

I have thought of this but I am not sure what it would do for balance issues.

let me be SCH99/RDM49/BLM24

I want more INT

RNG/SAM/WAR would be fun, yay berserk

Wouldn't SCH/BLM/RDM be a better choice for INT? Yeah you would lose out on Refresh, but that's what Refresh Atma is for.

spells, convert , fast cast

( my main thing is spells though gravity is 21....)

hmm

FINE

SCH/RDM/BLM when not in abyssea.

if abyssea has a part at 99 then ya SCH/BLM/RDM

some type of support role still needs to be SCH/RDM for phalanx I pop that once in a while even for blm with the release of that new ja.

7 min 30 sec phalanx is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuun

Refresh is kinda pointless when you have sublimation anyway.

maybe they mean for others when no rdm is there.

you know I am changing my view point.

SE please let us have this i am tried of being stuck on sch/rdm

Like where this may lead but it also sounds unbalanced

When I've seen this brought up in the past I always thought it was a cool idea. I'd love to see this implemented someday.
