New Jobs for Existing Classes (My wish list)

If they add new jobs to existing classes, it probably wont be the same roles.
For PGL, it's probably going to be a tank, since they got fist of earth, and featherfoot, and can cross-class defensive/aggro skills. Mantra, and second wind to help heals, something similar to what war does.
They got some AOE combos even. Downside being you couldn't utilize position based combos, so your damage would be default be gimped.
There could be a healer class also, that use mantra to boost healing, and maybe something that supports second wind, making it AOE. Could add Fist of Water, which increase healing potency.
Would be interesting to do tp based fighting, and use mp for heals. That way they wouldn't need any MP recovery skills like WHM/SCH.

GLD would be kind of OP as anything else, cause they have lots of defensive buffs. It would have to use clothing, to minimize base def, so the buffs dont make you a tank. Also they got vit trait, which would give them more hp, but less atk, than other DD.
They would need to add more damage oriented skills to GLD, with increase in lv cap, some new 3rd hit to riot combo, or a completely new one.

BRD is already DD, so i dont think they will add ranger. If they give some combo to ranger, it would be to strong, if they dont, it won't be any different than BRD.
Unless they turn bard into support-healer or caster, and give it mnd or int gear, to nerf dps; And Ranger becomes dex-dps.

Either change the price to reset attributes, or dont do it again. It just penalizes u for choosing it. Now I hav to be a white mage.

that was exactly the point of it. Pick one of the jobs, to focus on. You can still be decent at both though.

Bold is Existing - Italic is my Thoughts (some ideas might be seen multiple times)

Gladiator

• Paladin
• Dark Knight (makes sense since DRK usually (other than FFXI) uses swords)
• Samurai (Could be a sword alternative for GLD)

Marauder

• Warrior
• Beast Master (if they sub new dagger class could dual axes *drools*)
• Viking (Think this was only in FFIII, but they could use axes and hammers, but had a steal ability... heehee dagger sub anyone? XD )

Pugilist

• Monk
• Dancer (sub new dagger class, and make dual daggers~! :D )
• Puppetmaster (could sub a pet class like arcanist)

Lancer

• Dragoon
• Dark Knight (if they want to go back to Scythe for it, could come off this)

Archer

• Bard
• Archer/Hunter (pure ranged DPS)
• Beastmaster (If they want to make it a ranged DPS w/pet)

Conjurer

• White Mage
• Red Mage (depending on what way they wanna go...)
• Blue Mage

Thaumaturge

• Black Mage
• Red Mage (depending on what way they wanna go...)
• Time Mage
• Blue Mage

Arcanist:

• Summoner
• Scholar
• (unless they add 3rd jobs to every class, this is done...)

DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE MAIN STORY LINE - HAS SPOILERS:

Two new classes have been announced, which most should know.

Gunner Class:
Now they say this isn't going to play the way we think, so I don't know what to do about this. As long as it's guns, I'm happy... been waiting for Musketeer since it was announced back in Alpha 0f 1.0, and was the whole reason I wanted to play. I think BLU could come off this, as well as Corsair, Gunner etc... would be interesting to see.

Dagger Class:
It seems to me this is pretty much set, and that all signs point to Ninja and Thief, though I think Dancer and Blue Mage would also be good choices to come straight off this. But as you see above I have also put where BLU and DNC would work as well. :)

My personal wish:

Gunner Class > Alchemist Job

using 2handed rifles, being an healer job that uses potions and vials graphically for his spells (no consumable items)

How could you make it viable instead of a whm or a sch?

Give him the basic heal spell (cure1, physicks)
Give him a basic aoe spell (medica1 like)
Give him buffs that improve received healings, mitigate damage, lower boss damage, improva party damage etc...

He would be auto attacking the boss while he use his skills, so he could give a minimal dps boost himself.

I'd personally love to play a class like this if executed well, otherwise well, I'm a sch! Best healer of any mmorpgs, first pet class healers, tons of options/tactical skills. No reason not to play one if you love healers ;P

Conjurer > Geomancer = GIMME!
