New Cnj Job, or healing job in general

[Simaril]

Acn has Smn and Sch. What should Cnj second job be? A second healing role, or a dps role? What other classes might be a good fit for a healing job?

Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_F...character_jobs Sage, and Chemist pop out as healer jobs. Cleric has been a class in other games, and we already have the stance I really don’t know what Sage or Cleric would bring that’s different than Whm. Chemist could bring interesting game play with throwing potions? The could make Alc the secondary class required.

I don’t really think of Red mage as a healer, and certainly not Green, Blue, or Time mages. Red mage should have a sword – which might not fit under any of the DoM. Green, Blue, or Time might go well with Blm under Thm.

RDM will likely be the alt CNJ job in the future. Chemist seems more like an ACN job, honestly.

Wouldn't Geomancer be a better second job for conj? Just a makes sense since they already use nature attacks.

Yes. I think that would be more in line with the conj abilities and story line.

Given that Cnj have Stone, Aero, and Fluid Aura - Geomancer makes sense for the second Cnj job. I think Geomancer could use Cnj weapons also. Geo probably wouldn't be a healer though.

I feel like Red Mages need to have sword, which doesn't fit Cnj well, and I don't think Rdm should be a healer.

What's the next healer job going to be?

It's easy to list DPS and tank jobs we can expect, but I have a hard time guessing what the healers might be.

I'd say probably a DPS. When it comes to things having two jobs, I see them making classes have 1 DPS option and 1 tank or healer option.

Geomancer tank. Deep in your heart you know you want it.

I feel like releasing another tank Job might help with the duty finder waits more than anything. In general I assume they'd want to generally maintain the balance of typical party composition (1 tank 2 dps 1 healer) - so your idea of 1 dps option and 1 tank or healr option - the numbers work out perfect.

Muskateer has been on the horizon forever right? It seems like another DPS and a good fit for archer... but they have Brd which is dps. The FF universe seems like it needs the "support" archtype (Bard, Red Mage, Time Mage, Dancer).

I've read comments about Red Mage, and a stealthy scout class. But I haven't seen any mention of healer jobs.

DPS Sage (Sage in FF3 was esentially the ultimate Black/White Mage with the ability to use summons)? could have access to all CNJ's abilities, boost up potency on current offensive spells and add 5 new offensive utilities

[Akirakogami]

second conj job should be Geomancer

a utility dps like bard. or a tank, whatever sense that makes.
