This is because of one of WHM's traits "Proshell", so basically a WHM's protect is both Protect and Shell in one (but a crossclassed Protect is just Protect!).
Hmmmm.
Geomancer as an MP tank branching from Conjurer with the ability to use the terrain to create shields, barriers and counters for themselves.
Funny thing, couple of my friends and I had an idea called the "S&M Mage". It was a healer that only cured for small amounts. Scaring the tank (and the entire pt) into thinking they could die at any moment and would force them to play better.
I think if you mixed HumsterMKX's idea and mine together it would be the stuff of nightmares.
Green Mage, Sage, Elementalist, Alchemist could be a potential healer job, beside Dancer. Scholar was never a healer job per se until FF11 and FF14.
Well Scholar wasn't even actually anything till FF11 & FF14 lol before they were just a scan ability made into a job and in FF11 they were a red mage without a sword, which is pretty dumb so I hope if SE ever remakes any FFs or makes new FFs with Scholars in it they make the fairies into a staple for them.
Would be interesting to have a healer type summoner job in FF since in the history of the series summoner has always acted more as black mages.
I'd like to see dancer return as a front line healer/dps class. But I'd build that off of the duel daggers class coming in 2.4.
For brand new, I'd love to see Time Mage brought in as some type of class, along with Red Mage having the ability to Tank, or DPS. With their en spells, they could en for defense, or damage, etc, much like how WAR works. :)
Just a thought. :)
Red Mage as a tank would be pretty awesome if done right.
Red Mage or Beastmaster for the tank.
Dancer for the healer.
Seer only for the Cat-Hood. If it's too similar to WHM can we still have the hood?
