New Jobs: One possible concept

[Ferendial511]

Was discussing some of the new job conversations with a friend on a MU* and had an idea on introducing new jobs without messing with the lore too much, and this was mostly inspired by Arcanist, in that, with this concept, each of the new jobs that hasn't been mentioned before is an alternate soulstone, much like Arcanist can go either a nuking role with Summoner or a healing role with Scholar. One rough idea would be

Marauder->
Warrior: Tank (Requirements: Marauder/Gladiator)
Dark Knight: Tank/DD hybrid (Marauder/Thaumaturge)
Pugilist->
Monk: pure DD (Pugilist/Lancer)
Dancer: DD/Support (Pugilist/Archer)
Archer->
Bard: Support (Archer/Pugilist)
Ranger: Ranged DD (Archer/Lancer)
Gladiator->
Paladin: Tank (Gladiator/Conjurer)
Magic Knight: DD/Support (Gladiator/Thaumaturge)
Lancer->
Dragoon: DD (Lancer/Marauder)
?

DoM
Conjurer->
White Mage: Healer (Conjurer/Arcanist)
?

Thaumaturge->
Black Mage: DD (Thaumaturge/Archer)
Red Mage: Support/DD (Thaumaturge/Conjurer)

Arcanist->
Summoner: Support/DD (Arcanist/Thaumaturge)
Scholar: Support/Healer (Arcanist/Conjurer)


I'm not entirely sure what would be good ones for Lancer or White Mage. Any suggestions, comments, ideas?

These all seem cool. Magic Knight sounds a little too generic though-- I think that Red Mage might work better in that spot, since Red Mages are known for their ability to use a one handed sword/shield and wear average armor, in addition to having decent magic capabilities. The issue of putting RDM there though is that they wouldn't have access to any heals (aside from any job-specific ones) which is definitely a RDM characteristic. Putting RDM as a job of THM however would mean that they need to use staves and wear robes which isn't very RDM-like >.<. People have mentioned Geomancer being a second job of Conjurer, since conjurers are very earthy (their spells being based off of earth, wind, and water), so maybe CNJ 30/THM 15 would be a way to work Geomancer in? LNC is a hard one because there's not much other than Dragoon to turn into, since the job needs to share the class weapon. I really enjoy reading threads and ideas like this-- I think it's crucial that SE come up with a second job for all the classes like they did with Arcanist before they start introducing even more classes. At the moment it seems very unbalanced and weird that Arcanist is the only class that gets you access to TWO jobs while the others only offer one. I believe the reason they released it this way is because they needed to introduce a second healing class because one wouldn't be enough (for DF reasons and whatnot), and so they went ahead and released SCH with SMN.

You can edit the post to bypass the word limit.

On topic: I would like to see an "Advanced Job' system requiring 3 classes to be at 30 to achieve the said job.
For example:

Dark Knight (2h sowrd)
30 Marauder
30 Thamaturge
30 Lancer

...

Honestly I don't think advanced jobs would be a good idea, because the fact that they're advanced would mean that they're naturally better than the jobs that already exist. That means that traditional jobs like White Mages and Paladins would be seen as lesser jobs. The advanced jobs you mention remind me a lot of Death Knights from WoW and how they generally had an advantage over the other classes. Eventually (when I played anyways) they were balanced out and basically ended up being just another class, but then what's the point of having a special "type" of class? Besides, introducing this concept of advanced jobs in my opinion takes away from the fact that jobs are supposed to be specialized in something. By having advanced jobs that come from several classes, it becomes less exclusive and more jack-of-all-trades like (in that it can borrow skills from 3 different classes) and I think that takes a bit away from what SE was going for when they came up with the class and job system. The advanced jobs you mentioned though I think are great ideas to be made into jobs off of currently existing/potential future classes!
