What kind of jobs do you want in 7.0?

Still wish the would increase the variation in how jobs functions. As of now it is almost exclusively fixed rotation compared to procs.

Multiple jobs have energy systems, but all those energy system have perfect increments of 5-10-20 rather than random numbers around those values.

I wouldn't mind if they went down to only 1 job per expansion. Ones I particularly want to see are corsair, geomancer, mystic knight, and beastmaster as a limited job. Corsair would be nin's scouting partner, geomancer could be either a healer or a caster with a heavy emphasis on elemental spells (rip whm), mystic knight could either be melee or caster. Beastmaster could function similarly to blu in that you have a beast log/bestiary and you tame overworld mobs in battle, which you can then summon and your entire hotbar is becomes pet actions with some specific to what you have out, so the gameplay ends up being like pokemon battles!

Personally I would love to see some kind of Elementalist where your skills depend on the element you are attuned to (earth, air, fire, water). Opposing elements (for example, attuning to water against a fire-based enemy) would give greater DPS or healing, whereas attuning to the element you encounter would reduce these but replace with increased mana or health regen.

Anything that can shake up role boundaries and move us away from such interchangeable homogeneity.

Off the top of my head, though... Wildling, Adept, Hunter, Judicar... maybe a Dervish or Warden.

Puppet master :)

My wish for the last few years have been that they add Green Mage which would be a physical/magical melee dps with support magic and a hammer weapon. Could probably use scouting gear being a mage and need for mobility.

Most of the jobs I've seen mentioned being desired are already in the game for NPCs only (Beastmaster, Mimic, Geomancer, Onmyoji/Oracle, ...) or equipment related from lost civilisations (Viking, Onion Knight, ...). Viking may be a possibility if we go to a location in the north hinted to during the MSQ

Treasure Islands beyond the frozen waters of Blindfrost

but since there is equipment that is Viking related in HW, I doubt we'll get that as a job outside Warrior.

I'd like to see current jobs diversified significantly so we have actual jobs, not

-warrior, gimped warrior, warrior with a shield and gnb
-conjurer, conjurer with a coin flip, conjurer with shields and arcanist who lost the plot
-warrior with a gun
-drg, drk and drg's child
-drg as a caster and more pets

We could use another ranged physical DPS class... There's only 3, after all.

Lopporits could have bells as their weapons if they become a playable race. They wouldn't have to worry about gender either, you are what you are and that's cute. The only problem is that this game is already furry enough and there's not much individuality to lopporits so I don't see it as a playable race. But if they did give them a weapon, I would imagine a bell.

Other jobs could be beastmaster (alternative to summoner), Chronomaster (healer/support aka the Time Mage) and Magic Knight but -- there's also Creation Magick that could have its own class but it would require a butt-load of aether which would likely require some sort of Magitek weapon as a conduit.

I would personally enjoy more limited jobs than actual new jobs though. There's enough choices already but new classes do sell. Hopefully limited jobs could be made in an interesting way so that they can be worth pursuing. Blue Mage was fine for what it is but we can't have blue mage limited quests for every new limited jobs.

Oh gosh, I would hate that. There's no guarantee that someone will like both jobs. Having two increases that chance that each player will have something new they'd like to try. I can't think think of a worse move other than no new jobs outright. One per expansion sounds abysmal.
