FINAL FANTASY XI JOBS TIER II

[Maquis]

I had the idea of "upgrading" your job to an advanced version of it a long time ago. Now, I have a lot of ideas and I don't want to post them all. Since this thread is already started, let me show you what I thought of.

It is very hard for SE to come with an advanced version of each job, so I thought it might be better to combine two jobs into one (Three might be an option?). You would have to have leveled both jobs to 99 (and perhaps have some skills that need to be capped) before you can upgrade both jobs into a new one. You will no longer have access to those old jobs. Your new job is level one, but you can wear any gear that has one of the old jobs on it. Now I made an example list, but thats all it is. I had some trouble pairing some jobs, like PUP and SMN. Other jobs were very easy to pair up, like BRD and DNC. I don't want to step on any peoples jobs with this, so if you have any alternative ideas you want to share, I would be interested.

WAR&MNK: Fighter
Strongest DD in game, lowest eva/def etc. All in/High risk.

BRD&DNC: Performer
Bind Songs and Dances together to perform them at the same time. Samba songs will overwrite themselves and Waltz songs will overwrite themselves.

BLU&BST: Pictomancer
Creates copy of target beast to fight besides you. The copy responds to Blue Magic you cast.

RNG&THF: Hunter
How about some SATA Sidewinders? Escape JA or other nice combinations of the two jobs? Someone else have some nice ideas?

PLD&DRK: Magic Knight
Tank with both black and white magic.

WHM&SCH: Geomancer
Entwines Scholar spells and White Mage spells into stronger effects. Helix/Storm adds elemental effect to White Magic. Example Stoneskin+Firestorm makes the SS effect receive double damage from Water element, but half damage from Ice and Fire. Allows Haste and Cure to be entwined and with proper grimore to have Curaga/Hastega built into one spell.

BLM&RDM: Time Mage
Meteor, Haste 2, Demi, etc.

SAM&NIN: Assassin
Movement speed job trait. TP gained when evading attack. When out of range to WS, automatically draws you in on mob to make it hit (you need to face it).

DRG&SMN: Caller
Summons various versions of Bahamut. (Could be a "Summon/Call" via JA/Magic or a "Transformation")

COR&PUP: Jester
Ultimate Hate controller through puppet. Strong DD, very high hate gain, but has JAs to shed it to pt member close to puppet.






TL;DR Version: Lose two 99 jobs, get one "Advanced" level 1 job, combined from the two lost jobs. Example list above.

The only appropriate upgrade for SMN is AVA: The AVA now floats, radiates an element of their choice, and can make pacts to be summoned by SMN.

Cool new Job would be Wizard. NO not like WOW but you can morph into stronger animals ex: Werewolf, Dragon, Behemoth lol, Rhino, not only can you morph but you would have stronger spells than BLM. Spells: Meteor, Tsunami, Earthquake, Tidal Wave, Lava X, Hurricane etc and these spells would take up say your whole screen when u cast them lol. People can see them happening from across the map lol.

Maybe instead of combining jobs it could be done with crafts. This would make a lot more people craft, and maybe put some stuff on the AH.

50+ Woodworking + NIN

= Assassin

-Able to create its own tools on the fly (no need for tools), mastered their use (high fast cast), etc. Gains benefits from WW and 99NIN.

Gladiator! I know they have in FFXIV but eh put it in FFXI. You can weild anytype of melee weapon, but can use Sword, Scythe, GA, and GS better than any. You have a merit ability where you can switch to tank job or melee job and can both dual wield or use a shield. Weaponskills are furious and can light up a night times sky.

Or even LEGEND job which is when you get to lvl 99 you can obtain this job and go back to lvl 1. When you go back to 1 what ever job you chose to obtain Legend status would now be that higher job and be named such as MNKLEGEND, SAMLEGEND, SMNLEGEND and so forth. Now these jobs you can get better spells, Summons, weaponskills etc.

BLU or BLM could have an option to turn into the infamous Geomancer that everyone was guessing it would be the new job when BLU was announced.

wait, when did people assume blu was going to be Geomancer? Anyone who has played a FF game knows that blu is blu unless theres some point where SE said "New mage" and showed us a picture of blu AF and not mentioning that it was blu.

Before BLU was announced there was a huge noise and people where trying to guess what job was going to be made available and Geomancer was one of them Just something that came to memory.

The Tier II jobs would be designed to be better than the required Lv99 Job. It would consume the level but not the availability of that job, turning that job into a Lv1 in the list of jobs available from the Moogle. So if you are not satisfied with the Tier II job you could level the Tier I, but that's simply the price paid to attain that job.
