SMN redesign in expansion?

[SomnusNemoris]

I am just hoping on some news in the next live letter. My jimmies can't take it anymore

Keep waiting then. i don't see SE saying anything about class changes until the patch notes and even if they say before a patch it will be something along the lines of "we are looking at it". They didn't announce what they had planned for war, drg or blm when those got changes. Frankly, 2.5 is done and waiting on patching. 3.0 is done and waiting on release. Unless SE decided to overhaul smn back when they were in planning phase of Heavensward, they won't do it now and waste the production cost of 3.0, and even after 3.0 it will probably take something drastic like 25% drop in subscriptions before they do a redesign.

Should have battle system info at PAX East, March 7.

Im so glad I'm not the only that thinks that way. I still dont see the connection with arcanists and illnesses.

LOL according to the dictionary:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/arcanist

person professing special secret knowledge concerning ceramics, especially concerning the making of porcelain.

Learn something new everyday. When do we start throwing porcelain pots at mobs!?

That'd probably be more effective than Ruin, anyway.

how awesome the world would be, if Scholars were the only Arcanist job with Carbuncles and Fairies *dreams*

And a separate SMN job ;P

To be quite honest it should've been. Carbuncle should've remained a Scholar pet and cast buffs on the party as Carbuncle has ALWAYS been known to do in FF history, dunno when he decided to put on the fighting gear...

I'm REALLY hoping when SE does do away with the class system, they merge Arcanist with SCH and then make Summoner its own category and give it the face and boob lift it really needs... That way SE can use carbuncle in substitute as new pets to sch class with level cap increases, but carbuncle would need to be redesigned to fit SCH system. THAT is what I would personally love to see.

EDIT: Just to explain the simple "do away with the class system" thing: Technically it would not affect any of the job storylines cause if you think about it they can take away Lancer and call it DRG storyline quest and it would remain the same. The only JOBs it would be difficult for is Summoner & Scholar due to them sharing a class... and even then it would just require work on, you guessed it Summoner... but even then the summoner would start with Titan and Garuda, just like emerald and Topaz... or they could change it to it being a DPS class and they start with Ifrit after beating him then Titan, Garuda and so on...

That only opened up so many questions...

[Zedd702]

You mean questions like Arcanist should've actually been in DoH, instead of DoM?

I think that definition answers that, wouldn't you agree?
