Job Traits

[jdshad]

In an attempt to stir up some discussion and to better show what Im talking about here's a list of jobs who I beieve are either very well put together in terms of job traits, stuck with resist job traits or may have too few job traits. There is one exception to the resist job trait list and that class is bard, even though resist silence helps scholar too.

Solid Job traits
Monk
White Mage
Black Mage
Scholar* (I'll explain scholar below)
Bard* (I'll explain bard below)
Dagoon* (I'll explain why dragoon has a star below)
Blue Mage* (Maybe take away some of the less desirable talents? Adding more good ones? Mainly the killer effects)

Jobs stuck with a resist traits
Warrior- Resist Virus
Thief- Resist Gravity
Red Mage- Resist Petrify
Paladin- Resist Sleep and undead killer may be questionable.
Dark Knight- Resist Paralyze and arcana killer may be questionable.
Beast Master- Resist Slow
Ranger- Resist Poison
Bard*- Resist Silence I acknowledge that being silence as a bard means no songs, so their resist trait actually isnt bad since it protects them from being useless. But if you keep thier resist trait would you keep the others?
Summoner- Resist Slow
Samurai- Resist Blind and Demon Killer is also a questonable trait for samurai
Ninja- Resist Bind
Dragoon*- Dragon killer maybe be questionable because its situational, but it does fit the theme of the class so I'm not really complaining. Makes sense they can slay dragons easier but makes me wonder would SE make samurai keep demon killer if they let dragoon keep dagon killer? Don't really see the connecton between a samurai and demon, compared o a dragoon and a dragon.
Corsair- Resist Paralyze
Puppet Master- Resist Slow, Resist Amnesia
Dancer- Resist Slow
Scholar- Resist Silence Scholar's resist trait actually helps the class since it protects scholar from being useless, but again if you keep scholars resist trait would you keep all the other ones which may not be so useful)

Jobs with too few job traits.
Dragoon
Bard


Of course everything here is my opinion and what I think could use some adjusting/fixing regarding the jobclasses and thier job traits. I'd love to see some discussion to ee other peoples opinion about these talents or other talents that may not be as upto pr as other talents in the game. I think SE could be real creative adding/adjusing talents for the listed classes and really improve the game on a whole. I'd really love for there to be some community discussion about job traits and maybe some suggestions about wehat SE could do with them.

Warrior- Resist Virus

Resist Virus isn't useless as it helps you to prevent/shorten the ammount of time beeing influenced by certain deseases.

Thief- Resist Gravity

Go pull!

Red Mage- Resist Petrify

Since RDM has Fast Cast and Chainspell - Resist Petrify is only logical since you can't be fast and a solid stone.

Paladin- Resist Sleep and undead killer may be questionable.

A sleeping PLD is useless. And a PLD is a warrior of light while the undead don't belonge to this world.

Dark Knight- Resist Paralyze and arcana killer may be questionable.

Again - most/all DRK weapons are slow swinging monsters. A paralyzed DRK is useless.
On the first look there seems no connection between DRK and Arcana but then again booth use/exist cause of magic that don't belong to any of the major magics.

Beast Master- Resist Slow

Hmm... I didn't played BST that long. Maybe Resist Poison/Paralyze would fit better.

Ranger- Resist Poison

Hmm.. did you ever asked yourself why the AF has leafes, why they could track monserts and why they could pickup items out of the dust? ;p

Bard...

Selfexplaining

Summoner- Resist Slow

SMN relys on abilities.

Samurai... ...Don't really see the connecton between a samurai and demon, compared o a dragoon and a dragon.

You should google for SAMURAI and in special for their head gear. You could say the mask they wear symbolize/resemble the face of a deamon. http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...20050413170830

Corsair- Resist Paralyze

Slow fireing gun. Paralyze is the death for such weapons.

Puppet Master- Resist Slow, Resist Amnesia

Actually you never played PUP - This job highly rely on abilities and his martial arts trait, that is not that high compared to MNK.

Dancer- Resist Slow

Questionable
