New Job Ideas

[Tsukino_Kaji]

We'll cram all the mages together and call it an Auramancer.

Necromancer is a usless job that we pretty much already have x.x which i am ; ; summoner . . . . .

I disagree, while it shares the same spells SCH allows you to use those spells in a more complex and
much smarter way, it's not like blm where you just press a macro and boom, 1.5k damage
SCH requires THINKING, and sadly, alot of players aren't good at thinking, which is why it's a rarely used job and even more rare to see someone actually good at it. it shouldn't be removed, the retarded people who don't know how to use it properly should be removed.


White Magic requires spells that cost MP Ninja requires spells that cost consumable tools

Dancer dosnt cost anything but TP..No where near the same thing, whm and ninja can't reduce targets defense, evasion, magic evasion, critical evasion, and drain HP from the target from each hit. another job that is hard to master due to the requiroment of "thinking"



Blue mage spells are very unique, some of which aren't even seen by other jobs i won't even go into details on this one because there is just no point, and no where near similer to rdm in any way shape or form.


I dont think you're even trying anymore, why not try actually playing these jobs?



No because there is no point, none of what you just said is even close to comparison, each of those jobs have uniquie abilites that are well thought out.

All you're describing is "well it can restore Hp so it's just like white mage"



Yes..it's called...beastmaster.....summoner...they all can tank mobs and keep players from being damaged from thier own damage..i understand you are trying for a new idea but this one is simply no diffrent.

You wasted your time by missing the entire point of what I said. All of these unique abilities weren't all there to begin with. As for the part about Necromancer hybrid tank-pet job. You, again, are completely minsinterpretting it, there is a massive difference. Neither Summoners nor Beastmaster's are applicable party tanks. Sure they can tank a mob for a bit, so can every other job (cept maybe scholar) in the game.

Back to the "should be removed" statements.
"Well it can restore hp (with the same spell) so it's just like white mage"
"Well it can charm enemies so it's just like beastmaster"

I understand that you are merely trying to avoid being proven wrong that there are many viable ideas.

Btw, Corsair is my main. I dare say I was one of the best corsair's on server at the time, was only missing like 3 pieces of equipment.

If in the end, you want something like it needs to use consumable items to make it different, then it's even more like beastmaster (see: jug pets).

The point is, no matter it is given, it will, regardless, in some way, be similar to another job, just like every other job there is right now. That is completely inevitable and it is a completely stupid to try and use that aspect in your argument.

You can argue that it will be very similar to Dark Knight but that Dark Knight will be better. No, that's why I brought up the minion tank idea. Not in the same vein as a Summoner using Stoneskin-ga or a pet, to temporarily tank or a beastmaster using a pet as a shield to keep himself alive. I was talking longer term tanking. That is different, entirely from Dark Knight, Summoner, and Beastmaster. There's also the matter of linked hp or is that too, unoriginal. The closest thing is Spirit Link from Dragoon.

Going further, Necromancer would not even need an actual charm ability (not that it would necessarily lack one). It would only need a job ability to summon undead. The undead summoned would be based upon the area the Necromancer is currently in and they would only be able to summon weaker than themselves versions of said creatures.

How about race specific jobs!

[jeffanddane]

And no tsukino that wouldnt be called an auramancer it would be a Raveamancer!!!!!!!!!

I had an idea once for the job "Judge", based on the Judges from Final Fantasy Tactics.

AF Armor could be black GM armor.

Judge would have a variety of abilities to set certain "laws" of combat. The range of the law would work kinda of like an aura on the person playing judge. Examples of things that could be outlawed would be types of magic, elements of magic, elements of attack, abilities, etc... using the "illegal action" in the vicinity of the judge would have negative implications on the enemy - or the party member (double edge sword, they need to follow the rules as well)...

Judges could obtain "Judge Points" similar to a DNC obtaining Finishing Moves... Judge Points could be used to make a "Ruling" - which could be a very potent benefit to the party or a very potent determent to the enemy.

It's just a crazy random idea though.

It actually sounds very interesting. I would like to hear more about this job.

Judges in FFXII just complained and died a lot and were all corrupt.

[jeffanddane]

They did complain alot . . . . They also complained alot in FFT advanced series and sent you to jail for not listening to there annoying laws

Btw, Corsair is my main. I dare say I was one of the best corsair's on server at the time, was only missing like 3 pieces of equipment.

I've seen relic owners get out damaged by people without relics back in the 75 cap days. Gear does not make a person good. Knowing how to play a job does.

Druid, i want to be able to turn into a Tree a Cat and Bea... wait...
