I would love to see a two handed sword or a scythe and maybe a class with a pet like Puppetmaster, dragoon, or Summoner. I would also love to have some oriental weapons and armor like wakizashi, katana, and maybe some samurai armor. i would settle for some dual wielding at-least I like being able to change to any job or class instantly but the choices don't really intrigue me archer and marauder are really the only 2 dps classes i can stand. gladiator is cool and all but I don't like the fact that I cant use two swords or a two handed sword. I loved the Blue Mage in FFXI the fact that i could beat the hell out of a mob with its own skills was fascinating. The current crafting classes are perfect in my mind its much better then just kneeling down and a crystal appear in front of you as it did in 11 but the lack of magic and melee classes such as the red mage and paladin is simply boring all i really do is run around mining, fishing, and crafting crap because the current classes are impossibly boring.
I've been thinking for awhile on how Square Enix could add new classes w/o having to add a whole new set of weapons for it and I've decided that one of the best ways would be adding a item to the arrow slot or off hand slot that changes your class or job into what ever it is for. Example: equip a 2h staff for conjurer or thaumaturge and equip a orb or jewel in the off hand or arrow slot to turn that class into a summoner or have a one handed sword and equip something in the off hand such as a spell book to turn the class into a red mage.
I may be thinking a little to far ahead but can they atleast give me one class that can dual wield like thief or ninja.
New classes?

All for new classes, but prefer to get the current classes ironed out before hopping to something new.

New classes (Arcanist and Musketeer) are coming after the coming job system is balanced

I want to see Novice as a class.
Take off your weapon to unlock the Novice class!
No skills except 1:
Rank 50: Knights of the Round.
(You have no skills as novice, so you must get there by being powerleveld. Once there, you get to undertake a quest as a novice. This quest can not be won, you must lose 200 times before Odin appears. Odin looks at you and tells you what a worthless adventurer you are and gives you the tools to summon Knights of the Round. (mostly because he feels bad that you suck so hard)
Novice can not use skills from any other class.
Novice can not wear any weapons, nor punch with fists.
Novice can ONLY use Knights of the Round.
Knights of the round costs more MP than the novice has.
UNLESS they have 185 MND and full MND gear.
THEN they can cast it ONCE.
It has a 66%% chance to kill the novice instead of the target.
Now THATS an exciting class!
Who agrees? -
08-09-2011, 07:28 AMPetoriI understand their reasoning but I want them now ; ; until then (goes to Musketeer guild, /sit, /wait ∞).Quote:

08-09-2011, 07:32 AMRazelol although that's an exaggeration I used to love those types of classes in RPGs (MMO would be a little harder to implement), I actually mentioned goof-off from dragon quest in the last one of these threads.Quote:

08-09-2011, 07:38 AMIceWinglol that would be epic but you should be able to hit with fists but only do 1dmg 2 as a crit and have a 75% miss chanceQuote:

Hmm got another idea maybe a class that uses a bo staff as a melee weapon
-
08-09-2011, 08:28 AMSAMINUSI agree that the current classes should be ironed out, but having new classes to level would be nice while they are ironing out the classes. It just gives us stuff to do. And who knows how long it will take to iron out the classes. It seems like it will be a continous thing, ever changing, just as the content will change and the player base' opinions.Quote:

It's not gonna happen for a long while from what I gather, given the revamping Yoshi-P and the crew have to do. But I completely sympathize, I love sword-wielding characters but hate that the only one in the game (Gladiator) is being positioned and remodeled completely into a tank who pretty much has to have a shield and sucks at DD compared to the other melee classes. They're already starting to limit the Glad's offense by buffing other melees and not Glad with the recent patch, and I suspect it will continue.
I, and I suspect other people besides myself, just want a good, proper DPS sword-wielding class. But until Samurai or Fencer come out (if they even come out given the repositioning of the game) I'm basically out of luck. -
08-09-2011, 09:42 AMIceWingyeah i cant stand tanking, dps is my thing but no sword dps classes atm so im S.o.L...Quote:

So does anyone know when Musketeer comes out? like a general time frame a few weeks, months, years?
at-least I'm assuming that's the next class that comes out since there are guilds for it and arcanist... -
08-09-2011, 10:27 AMFouluryu
I prefer beast master over puppet. Waiting 10minutes for respawn pet summon is just dumb.
-
08-09-2011, 10:33 AMIceWinglol just dont let it die :P, pup was epic in soloing took no effort to kill mobs if u used the melee puppet but range and magic ehhh, i never got into beast master was kinda boring for me...Quote:

Soulsoother was by far my favorite Pup frame, followed by Sharpshooter. Spiritreaver was good if your team didn't have any blms on the team AND pup was great for Manaburn parties.
