RED MAGE and other jobs

[Deathscythe343]

I prefer that rdm blu and any other job would have a new class and no be branched of the old classes.

I'mo not so sure about this. The base classes we currently have are pretty basic. What I mean by this is, they are the classical classes that a lot of games base their trinity off of. The only one that I can think of that is not currently present is some kind of rogue/thief class, which may soon be changing.

The thing is for me i only see gla and mrd getting new tanks jobs and not dps or even less healer. Their basic skills have enmity in it. Sure they can make an ability for the job to negate the enmity but that is wasting 1 skill from the 5 skill we get for getting a job. Rather see new classes with wholle new skills/traits and new jobs than using the existing classes and just add 5 more skills for the new jobs. And also dont forget we share attribute point with the class and we would have the whole sch/smn sharing dilema that we have right now.

Yoshi has said that they can quite easily remove the high enmity tags when you swap from a tank job to a DPS job, mostly likely replacing one or more of them with positional bonuses. The biggest problem with turning GLA into a DPS is that it has the most boring rotation imaginable; it would be almost impossible to make a compelling DPS job out of GLA. On top of that, GLA and MRD have too much tank functionality in their class: they've got a large survivability CD suite and comparatively small DPS CD suites. A GLA or MRD DPS job would be miles more survivable than any other DPS because of that. Before 2.1, MRD could have gotten a DPS job, but the changes to the MRD CD suite, even though they were necessary for WAR, basically prevent MRD from getting a DPS job now.

Who says that the dps class of Gladiator has to only have 5 skills? It's assumed that it will be 1 per 5 levels, but it's not written in stone. They could also attach the skill to remove enimity or decrease it by 50% to the soul crystal itself. It would kinda makes sense anyway for Dark Knights off Gladiator, Dark Knights are kinda threat magnets anyway so maybe they would have reduced enimity by 20% enough so they don't end up becoming tanks but not enough that they don't have to watch themselves.

Is not writing in stone but is the pattern. Also people a while back ask for a levi-egi for smn but yoshi said that it would be unfair for the other jobs that smn get a new skill while other dont so is basically 5 new skill for a new job branching from a existing class.
