They are thinking of creating a new job unique to ffxiv so lets give them some ideas!

Oughtn't that to depend entirely on the lore and themes of the expansion the job will be introduced in? Without knowing that, what proper ideas could anyone give?

Not to say that we can't come up with stuff conditionally, but we're far from afforded vital information, and by the time we are, the new jobs will likely already be cemented.

Not what I had envisioned, sure puppetmaster had a pet that you could set as a tank, healer, or dps but this would involve having 3 minions out simultaneously and changing minions constantly to use abilities as part of your "rotation" kind like the Lords of Vermillion gameplay.

This was done before. Wilhelm was a tank who used a heavy shield and spear and had a very counter attack playstyle

Would like a link to the info for this. I was under the impression they wanted to have more FF themed jobs before designing a completely original one. Mind you should they do so it could be a very interesting thing.

An idea i had taken from another post:

A counter to the request for Viking when we already have Warrior.

If you need to make a class/job with a two handed hammer, must it be so uninspired that the best one can come up with is an already existing jobs theme? In this game we already have Nero and Grynewaht using two handed hammers setting a precedent for an existing class/ job of Garlean origin. From my perspective they do not seem to be Vikings to me. Would it not make more sense to have a Engineer who makes magitek field emitters that create defensive/ buffing AoE's and make it a Tank role? Something that would mirror Machinist but with a defense role rather than a DPS. The whole story could be wrapped around Garlean defectors trying to help make their homeland something to be proud of, something i feel is being missed with the current defectors we have had contact with.

He even calls his hammer Mjolnir ffs...

I still want my dancer but i suppose they can add something like Reaper or something
I would also say Valkyrie (like that of Tera Online as example) but that is pretty much close to Drg

Role: Healer
Name: Glamour Mage

Casts glamour spells on people and heals them while making them look fabulous.

:p

Allagan Beastmaster

Let me control the servo-proto-chimaeras, minotaurs and deathclaws.

Chocobo knight- Dps role... uses a one handed mace and buckler... melee class but can also use choco cure, chocometeor, Choco surge...

Can they add Garlean Sympathizer? I'd gladly give up the echo and ability to use magic in exchange for Magitek armor / weapons and a cool theme song.

How about a tank that dual wields shields.
Like for aoe agro spell he could bang the shields together like a taunt similar to flash.
And for aoe damage he uses all his might to smash them together and create a shockwave.
Combo rotations involved attacking with one shield and then the other and for finish combo stroke with both shields at once.
And as an equivelant to holmgang hallowed ground etc he could have a buff where he reflects 100% of all incoming damage back to attackers for 5 seconds.
Could also give him some kind of bar similar to red mage which is based on left and right shield attacks.
