Doesn't it make more sense for Thaum. to have Raise/Rebirth II?

In FFXIV, classes are not jobs, but you can create your ideal jobs from combining actions across classes.

For example, if you think a your ideal WHM can not only cure but also take a target's MP to keep your heal energy always full, you just need to put Siphon MP in your action list. Accordingly, you can even be a magic swordsman, magic archer, etc.

I know that the Classes are not Jobs, but SE is going to connect the Classes to Jobs by making them the jumping off point to open said Jobs. Once we have the Jobs, SE already said players would be much more limited in what abilities that you can use on the Jobs, and that the Jobs would get their own special abilities to make up for the fact that you can't really use the large range of Class abilities on your Jobs. So in that sense, we might not be able to use Siphon MP with the Job WHM. So they are very difference things indeed:

Classes can use pretty much any ability from all other classes, making a great range of classes you can create.

Job will be unlocked by getting Classes to "X" level and will be much more limited in the use of Class abilities and given Job specific abilities that are Job use only.

So if that is the case, you can't create your ideal Job by combining Class abilities because Jobs and Classes are going to be two separate areas that can't exactly cross together.



On a totally different note... they have only announced Paladin, Dragoon (Dragon Knight), White Mage, Black Mage, Monk and Bard...

Also Musketeer and Anarchist (I believe it was) were announced classes that that have guilds but are not in the game yet.

So we have::

6 Announced Jobs

7 Classes

2 Missing Classes

1 Unannounced Job.... 3 if you count the missing Classes.

So in short, we don't have all the info, so there might be a missing job they haven't announced that connected to either CON or THAU.

Hope more info comes out!
