Scout, Caster, Pet. Which class would you want next?

Job is perhaps as good as class for "pet" summoner. I presume the choco's in party will be an elementary variant of this if multiple fighting choco's per player are being considered. If there are limitations on number of total players including pets then as class "pet" does not work as well with parties(limited to 8 players).

That's just it.
Taming/Charming monsters into fighting for you =/= Summoning Godlike creatures to fight for you.
Evoker could = Summoning Elemental Spirits while Summoner = The above ^

• A scout class (thief)

• A pet class (Pet user+Debuff)
• Other suggestion

I know people are clamoring for a third caster class and other are drooling over the potential for possible pet classes, but my heart has always belonged to a thief class.

So, in order of importance to me, I'd vote: Thief first, Caster next, Pet third.

A pet class (Pet user+Debuff) +1

My suggestion is Musketeer/Machinist

Snipe

The Main Skill for Musketeer.

Elemental Bombs.
Elemental Bombs have Elemental crystals inside that burst when ignited, and causes a cloud vapor that effects enemies within the area for the duration. so here are some examples.

• Light Bomb - Creates a bright flash that blinds, and enemies are more susceptible to Light based damage.
• Fire Bomb - Burn Damage over time, and enemie are more susceptible to fire based damage.
• Ice Bomb - Cold Damage over time, and enemies are more susceptible to Ice Based damage.
• Thunder Bomb - Shock damage over time, and enemies are more susceptible to Thunder based damage.
• Earth Bomb - Earth Damage over time, and enemies are more Susceptible to Earth based damage.
• Wind Bomb - Wind damage over time, and enemies are more susceptible to wind based damage.
• Dark Bomb - Enemies ar more susceptible to dark based attacks, and weighs them down causing slow movement.

Grenades
Grenades are thrown, and explode upon impact, and are your basic non elemental Damage.

• Frag Grenade - Single Target Damage.
• Cluster Grenade - AOE Damage.

Throw Item(Cross Class Skill)
The ability ro throw potions to your Teammates.

Automation(Mechanical Pet)

If implemented in XIV there would have to be a much needed way to customize AI (Gambit System), and an overhaul on pet commands.

Examples.

• Attack - Attacks at close range while keeping close distance to the enemy at all times.
• Defend - Defense Greatly increases while guard is up, but renders the pets attack speed.
• Protect - Stands infront of a selected party member absorbing all damage.
• Range - Keeps far distance from the enemy, while using ranged attacks and spells.
• Return - Stops what its doing and returns by your side.

Customizing Your Automation

There should alot of different parts to customize your pet, from different heads, bodies, arms, and legs etc.

• Head Slot
• Body Slot
• Arm Slot
• Leg Slot
• Feet Slot
  
• Weapon Slot (class select)
• Sub Weapon Slot

Attachments

Equip plugins to boost your automation.

I would be the happiest man alive if this was implemented.

Scout, pet, then caster, in my opinion.

Pets/Beast master, Caster, Thief

Pet class for me.

I've been dying to tame beasts in Eorzea and have them follow me around and fight for me for over a year now. I can handle going without the other two if that means a pet class could come first. But most likely they'll choose what's needed over what's wanted more first in a realistic scenario. But they did say a pet class was coming, so I'm very happy regardless. However, sooner or later that may be~

THIEF!! the best original class from 11 :D

Personally it'd be more versitile to see a scout class or a pet class. And for all of those in denile pet class would be more closely to a beast master/tamer not a summoner. Silly kids summons are for free companies. But I would love a scout class since they don't have a definite thief since pugilist is more like a monk anyway.

I would like to see a pet class next.

I am hoping this question isn't in the polll, and that the next job, which is supposed to be a caster, isn't changed to a melee. I will seriously go on a rampage.
