I really think in an expansion or major patch they need to add "Support" as a job role.. but how this would effect DF in all other instances I don't know.. I just can't see RDM sitting in a DPS role..

How do i think RDM will be implemented in this to be different to THM and CNJ? En-element spells and element spike spells for a start.. Giving himself and the party Enthunder etc.. and spikes to tank (damages enemy when it hits tank).. refresh isnt really a thing anymore cos all jobs have ways of regaining MP, although i guess it would be a nice role to ask for rather than taking a BRD for the soul purpose of mana songing (i am talking about when we do titan runs, we take a BRD just in case)

RDM could also Debuff the enemies.. Enthunder.. give enemy thunder resistance down.. etc..

just thoughts off top of my head

Here is my thought:

They implement a Fencer class (melee DPS). It's weapons include Rapiers and Knives. This class gets two jobs, Red Mage and Theif.

If you go Theif, you gain stealth, steal, mug and a good backstabb ability.

If you go Red Mage, you gain elemental weapon buffs like En-Fire to add a little fire damage to your attacks. You also get a lot of freedom to take cross class abilities from BLM and WHM.

This has been discussed past death and right into undeath. In a game where the class balance is centered around the "Holy Trinity" of Tank, Healer, and DD, a pure suppose class just can't work.

Besides, I'm sure you'd piss off a LOT of people if you shoved RDM into a support role like players of XI did.

Ninja, THF, Blue mage, Red mage!!!

YES, PLEASE!

My only hope is to have a support/tank samurai someday.

A padjal would be great, but kinda spits at the face of the lore. Padjals are blessed by the elementals and are pretty much stuck running gridania and being conjurors and whm.

Id feel weird seeing a blm padjal. Plus Padjals are just short humans with horns that look like kids. Other than the horns it'll be easy to creak a padjal look a like.

As for viera I would like to see a male one. But hopefully they'll make a brand new 1, since I dont wanna see a race from another ff game

Hoping to see dancer in the future. Dance to victory!!!

GIVE ME MY SOULEATER BACK!!!! I WANNA FEEL THE DARKNESS CONSUME ME!!!!

I want to see the Mime make a comeback.
