The Next DPS Class according to loyal fans!

[Mikedizzy]

Hearing so many good ideas in here but even though I have given my two ideas form "what I know" of jobs throughout the series I would love to see some original jobs or something different, just so long as it is cool and plays well. Samurai has to happen and then surprise with the other new job.
I think they are only going to have two new jobs for 4.0 because they flat out said that they would probably never release three again because it was too hard and time consuming to do and balance. So we will probably get two, one at the start of the expansion and one in the middle??? Who knows.

I think Samurai and Beast Master have a really good chance. Remember in actions and traits menu "pets" isn't used, and when you think about it DRK attack stance does resemble of what a samurai would do. Even drks law weapon...

[Craiger]

I would want something new and more interesting than just a Samurai.

One idea I had, was something like a Physic, that can teleport as an important part of their rotation.

They could cast spells at range, with most spells being instant, and the difficulty would come with some other mechanic... But a big part of their rotation, would be to teleport to the enemy, and continue attacking using a weapon that they enhance or something. Then they teleport back to casting spells at range. What weapon they would use I don't know, but I love rapiers.

That's just me coming up with something just now, but I think it's kinda boring to just think about if it's going to be ranged or melee, then if they look cool or not... I care mostly about getting something unique and interesting in terms of skills and playstyle.

Play style is going to be the biggest thing. We have 3 melee dps/tank/heal. We have 2 physical/magic range. Given the breakdown, you would think next jobs will be 1 physical, 1 magical range.

Beast master using whip and pet (physical range) and dancer (magic range) could fill those roles

[GrizzlyTank]

Inquisitor.

Taking conjury and a little bit of thaumaturgy to it's fullest potentional to punish heathens.

Seems somewhat fitting to the current theme we got right now. <.<

Some with a gun blade lol living my "squall fantasy"

But seriously I like the physic job idea, DRK should have never been a tank lol there goes my x-2 fantasy with the really longs swords that did massive dmg instead we have a not so much tank -_-

[otarolgam]

Please, not Samurai as a DPS...

I have this dream of a japanese themed team, consisting of:

- Samurai Tank
- Ninja DPS
- Shrine Priestess/Miko Healer

Please don't ruin this dream... >.<

[Osteichthyes]

Samurai is all but confirmed that it will be coming out, we just don't know when. As for a melee caster I agree that Red Mage or some form of Rune Fencer would be ideal. As for the caster next I put together a little thing that didn't get much response, but I proposed a psychic class.

[Natandalus]

Samurai would likely be a tank as Yoshi P said that when deciding the next tank class his choices were DRK or SAM and he choose DRK.

[Drakeos]

But wernt SAM a DPS class in FFXIV meanwhile DRK was a tank (with warrior sub) ?
