Yah.. dude was awesome...

Gunbladers: master in the gunblade weapon, hybrid between markmanship and 2hsword in one weapon (put bullets in the ammo space and use it with your blade lol) would be cool to shoot a renzokuken on jagedy eared jack or making a robbery to retto-marutto in windurst pointing your gunblade at his big head

The WSs would look cool at least.

Job Trait: You may get attacked by cats or dogs due to open wounds with the smell of fish and gravy , you also might have no friends because hygiene may be an issue. . . .
Necromancer!

I saw a couple posts suggesting it,
Alchemist. That acually has a lot of possibilities if you really think about it.
It could use club type weapons which are also used to "mix" their materials in their mortar. Higher lvl "weapons" would improve alchemy skills.
Consumables are combined to create "items", spells/effects
Items offensive could be created, for example: explosives , using the algorythems used for "Bomb Toss" as a template.
Spells/effects could pretty much follow the current existing ones, except "cast" by using alchemy instead of magic.
It wouldn't be that difficult to come up with specifics unique enough to the job so its not just a clone of another job.
Heh, that would make it lucky 21 jobs...
Now you got me thinking about it.... Gonna have to work on some specifics....

I suggest Onion Knight^^

It could at certain levels equip a set amount of job traits, job abilities, and magic spells. But, you must already have gained access to them on the job that it is from.

Throw in a few original abilities.

I would like an idea like a Ronin job.

Like SCH did for RDM being able to change between Light and Dark. That made the job fun.

But what if Ronin let you sub and switch between NIN with Utsu and then SAM job to be able to DD.

I would like the idea to help jobs like RNG, THF or even DNC to be aggressive in melee and yet flip to use some NIN attributes.

Don't kill me if someone already said this, just an idea.

Ninja was originally designed as a throwing DD. just check throwing skill and shurikens DPS on FFXI wiki

Alchemist's 2h: doubles the effect of food and medicine effects for 3 minutes (useful in boss fights)

I suggest: Geomancer and Mimic

Geomancer:
main weapon: bells (club skill)
JA:
Terrain: can use Buffs, Debuffs and damaging abilities based on the terrain of the battlefield. Uses TP to execute them.

Mimic:
The mimic job class can set his abilities like BLU; the list of available abilities (and weapon rankings) depends on all other party members Jobs.
2h: can mimic a 2h ability of another party member

Except with capped skill(*waves*) they still to little to no damage, even with with the barrage merit ability. Sad.

I said to USE NIN attributes, I never said anything about NIN and DD.

But like most people subbing NIN or DNC, or even using SAM for it's attacking tributes, I would like to have that on my COR job.

COR/RONIN would allow me to use things like NIN (dual wield and utsu) or flip like SCH does and now attack like have /SAM.

I remember someone trying to solo COR like two weeks ago and said they died off a rabbit. D:
