To start, they could implement the actual concept of using attachments to MCH, or at the very least, not give them both WM/GB (both functionally the same abilties, and GB loses the "attachment" novelty when you're just gonna give to to BRD). They're different jobs so they should feel different in both gameplay and dynamics, like you would see between the three melees or the casters. It's also kind of silly that you don't have any ranged dps that is "physical" in the standard mmo sense (having auto attacks and not being subjected to the exact same mechanical limitations as a spell caster)Quote:

I bet you at least three of the following will be added
tank
dps
healer
we'll probably go to vanadiel and steal the rest of the models and fail to even retexture them -
11-09-2015, 12:30 AMTyriusI agree I think they should feel vastly different from each other they gave them both the WM/GB but also gave tp/mp regen on turrets I think they missed the mark on that one, turrets could have been so much cooler and better implemented then just tp/mp regen we already have a class that does that. I would like to see bards get their mobility back and let machinist be the stand still power out dps and chose the right attachment for the jobQuote:

They can homogenize their role, utility and performance considering they are competing for the same party composition slot, but they should not be homogenize their gameplay. There's very little turret interaction that it almost becomes a posion/FoF applicaiton that you need to refresh occasionally.Quote:

I honestly wish for a job that branches from archer that's not a support and purely focusing on damage. Hunter/Sniper/Ranger or something like that.
If it does happen, I don't think people would be playing Bard anymore, lol. -

Bard already does that. Unless you think that a ballad once or twice a fight (and only in the hardest raids, even) counts as "focusing on support".
People just hate the fact that it has 2 songs reducing their damage. And that it's named bard (for some because it shouldn't focus on dps as it's a bard, for the others because they'd prefer it named ranger. Bah) -

Nontheless, It's obviously a support Job, with their job abilities, and does pretty low compared to the other DPS classes but I might be biased on that. I'd like to see a pure damage-dealing focused archer job.
Not that I don't like Bard, though. Bard is pretty nice (well, except for some abilities it had in 3.0). I like how Bard is an archer, too. I think it's pretty cute. -

Still waiting for dancer and beastmaster. I'd like to hope for the fun classes. Also I'd like to go to a 10th dimension version of Eorzea with everything evil. Lame idea but something of that nature.

Given the arrival of Krile in 3.1 and the reveal that she has a new, unique weapon type (a crystal ball) I'm willing to bet her job may eventually be playable.
As far as 4.0 is concerned though I'm fairly certain we'll be liberating the conquered nations of Ala'Mhigo and Doma in preparation for 5.0 being the counter-attack on Garlemald. SAM and BLU are definite contenders there but I know Yoshi also wants to get RDM in at some point. It's hard to guess to be honest since they can so easily rewrite the lore of jobs to fit any new culture they add. -

My action bars are begging that, no matter what we do or where we go, please just give us new Traits instead of new abilities. They are weeping at the thought of trying to accommodate one more skill.

I want to go to Meracydia to take a break from Eorzea and get Allagan technology to beat the Garleans.

It looks like 3.x will have us handling business in Ishgard/Dravania for the duration, unless the devs have some curveballs set up for us. 4.0 might send us closer to Garlemald but not quite to their front door. Ala Mhigo & Doma sound like prime locations for a few more skirmishes with the Garleans--don't be surprised if we see a Besieged- or Campaign-type battle scenario implemented considering the location.
As easy as it is to see Samurai being released, it is still difficult to see how Red or Blue Mage become integrated with the jobs we have currently.
For Red Mage:
1) Which role will it play? By definition, it would have to be average at all of them but have it's own skill set that set them apart. A Hybrid Role would have to be created for them and other mentioned jobs.
2) What spells & abilities will it have that will give it an identity that other players will want in their team without them being pigeonholed because of 1 or 2 abilities/spells?
For Blue Mage:
1) What monster abilities will they be able to learn, and how many? How will they be organized for maximum effect?
2) What stats would determine how quickly spells are learned?
