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

PET CLASS please

Pet class please!

I also agree with the sentiment that I don't mind new classes being delayed so that SE can release several at once. The majority of players have at least one Level 50 DoW/M* And I know a large number of people with all 50s (I am 13 levels away, myself). If only one of these classes is released, expect Ul'dah to be full of shouts for healers/tanks as everyone is levelling the new class.

Even if they release all three at the same time this will still occur, but to a lesser extent.

I'd like to see...

Pet-class (mage type)
Pet-class (non mage type)
Thief / Assassin

but atm..i dont care anymore...too bored & 2.0 too far away.

I want my Scout, i love my thief and i want it so bad. However, there is a lack in caster type classes so this round i would have to vote for caster to be the next.

Did anyone else notice that the new mage class is exactly what thaumaturge is now?

why is this thread not a poll?

scout class please

I feel that a new caster class is definitely necessary. It would be really nice to have more mages in-game.

A thief class would also be really nice. Especially if they dual-wield daggers, can pick locks and increase drop rates. :)

Caster Class!

Kaoru! /ten<3

Pet class (Pet user and Debuff)


Love pet classes, and we certainly ned a debuffer back, one in which debuffs work would be nice though.

1. Pet class if it's a summoner (because that's like a mage type too almost so we get two birds with one stone! :) )

2. If not summoner, then we really need that mage/debuff class.

I say you do SMN AND THF though, why settle for just one new class??

I want a Mimic or Blue Mage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man, the list of classes that I'd want goes through the roof.

Its clear everyone wants a pet class moslty and a mage class second most.

that means Summoner (with the REAL avatars) is the best fit. Its a mage with pets. SE should do it!!!. That takes care of everyones issues mostly in this thread. SMN has debuffs and buffs and Strong attacks so its a really great fit for a class/job right now.

Nope, not at all actually. Played FFXI a little and quit because I didn't like it.

A lot of games tend to have a singular healer class though, occasionally with an additional support class that has healing capability. Most traditional RPGs have a Cleric, Priest or something of that nature (White Mage for FF). Guild Wars had Monk, Aion had Cleric (Chanter had healing capability but their main intended role was not healing), Phantasy Star Online/Universe had Forces (though they were healing and DD rolled into one). Most games I've seen don't have three or four classes that heal as their role, it's generally one, maybe two in some situations.

For example the healer role, I could simplify talking about a standard healer that cures through normal spells (very simple and straightforward), one that heals through damage mitigation (doesn't have a lot of healing spells, but has a lot of different "shields" he can apply to several targets at the same time) and one that heals through time (having several different HoTs in his arsenal).
There are many other versions as well, I could make you a more practical and real examples taken from released games if you want, but I'm sure you'll just trust my words.

That sounds more like an additional support class with healing capability. The main role wouldn't be healing (defined as restoring health) but to support and back-up heal.

It all comes down to the game designers being good enough with ideas and originality ;)

---

I guess we'll just have to wait and see then. Lack of uniqueness or definition has been one of the major complaints here since this forum was created and it's just hard for me to see how they could make multiple Main Healer classes/jobs without them feeling too similar.

We absolutely do NOT need a second healer type with the limited amount of classes we have now. We need a Pet class, debuffer, and a duel wielder in that order (unless the pet class is good at debuffing)

Totally. The pets could have debilitating attacks on top of "power" attacks. Almost kinda like smn use to be in 11.

Activate guano attack!... an evasion down effect. :)

NINJA!

Pupmaster <Can i have it?>

yoshi already said caster said guess it doesn't matter what i think. anyways, id like arcanist as was originally planned. Not to mention with mage reforms a new cster class is most needed now.

1. Caster class (Musketeer. Yes, please.)
2. Scout class.
3. Pet class.

Pet Class please.

At the risk of being overly presumptuous, if you guys decide to make a pet class thats like bst rather then smn I'd like to see a chain sword as a weapon for the class.

couldn't a chain sword be considered a whip. so maybe low lvls would get whips then rare high lvl gear could be something cool like you posted

Honestly I don't care how but I just want a Whip/Flayer class solely because it would be fairly unique as far as MMOs go. Then prepare to see tons of Miqo'te in leather subligar running around with whips.

If you watch the video closely its a sword that breaks apart into a bladed whip of sorts. So you could use it as a sword (traditionally I suppose or as auto attack) and breaks into the fancy-pants moves for weapon skills. Watching the video its not hard to see those moves translated into FF14 attacks.

Um, yes, thats very similar.

pet pet pet
ra ra ra
pet pet pet
ra ra ra

smn or bst...i dont really care as long as they are done well. I loved both jobs in xi and even tho each one had its faults they were both fantastic jobs. a pup wouldnt be bad either as long as it isnt rushed and broken like the orig xi pup, but pup would be on the bottom of the pet list for me. my only real hope is that they dont go crazy with perpet costs again. some of those -mp tics and high mp cost blood pacts in xi really limited smn before we got refresh at lvl 80 imo

there really isnt a need for thf atm with so little need for treasure hunter (I stand by Ifrit being basically a bcnm and th never effected those drop rates anyway). It's not like we are hunting alot of 3% drops anyway at this point. I could stand behind a mage but with con/thm 50 already for me another mage is just that.

My vote goes Caster, Scout, Pet. Would LOOOOOOOVE a pet class but I know importance when I see it.

I'd love to see all of them implemented within the year, or at least soon after 2.0.

If I had to pick an order..Well, even though I don't play a mage class -ever-, I think the people who like to play caster types deserve another class to try out.

1 Caster
2 Pet Class
3 Scout class

Beastmaster. Bring it.

OMG pet class please!!! :D lol

Here's my ranking of what I would like to see first, second and third:

1. Pet class (Pet user and Debuff)
2. Caster class (Ranged DD and Debuff)
3. Scout-type class (Thief, etc.)

I personally am interested in trying out a theif class, and on a complete side note I'm really hoping it would be housed in Ul'dah. My character is all about Ul'dah haha

I would like a Scout class if it means the potential for a Ninja Job

Yes, I quite agree. After reading that one interview (not gonna link it) that said they were thiking about having a theif class and having its job be Ninja.......... well nothing else really seems to matter. Thief/Ninja yes please!!!!

This is the order for me:
Passionate Side = Thief/Ninja
Logical Side = Debuffing Mage (but who needs logic really? ~.^)
NerdRage side = ZOMG pet jobs will be the ruin of us all!!!

* Seriously though, I'm telling my firends and their freinds and eveyone in any LS I am in to not vote for pet jobs. Sorry would be Summoners and Beastmasters, but for the good of Eorzea, you should not be allowed to exist!! Sorry, but you cant convince me pet classes are or ever will be a good idea. We will already be able to fight alongside our Chocobos, thats good enough.

Im actually a bit shocked by the amount of people wanting pet classes................All I can think of is wtf is wrong with you all?

im actually shocked how many people would take the novelty of a pet class before an essential class like a mage. maybe after 1.20 sinks in abit people will realize how outta balance the game is.

after giving it some thought i would like to see

thief
pet
caster.

i think the game needs

caster
pet
thief

(BOOOOOO)
