What Roles would you like for Samurai and Red Mage?

[Subucnimorning]

Would be cool if one of the new jobs was a melee focused class that has good AoE (kind of like how SMN has slightly lower ST but amazing AoE).

[jomoru]

I would prefer Samurai to be tank, Red Mage to be a magic DPS (because we need a new magic DPS) and want the new healer to be Dancer. Though I'm not sure how Dancer would work - you wouldn't be able to give them regens or shields for fear of WHM and SCH complaining endlessly that their classes aren't unique anymore.

A TP based Healer would be unique enough in and ofitself.

What about magic and support for red mage? we don't have such job for now

[Sapphic]

It's obvious!

Samurai should be a gatherer and RDM a crafter!

I agree, but the forums will still be flooded with whining about how WHM and SCH aren't unique anymore because other healers get HOTs and shields - much like they are right now.

I personally don't want to see rdm ever implemented, anyhow they put it into this game it would be a disgrace to the job.

Same here, I loved it in FF1 and 5, had fun with it in 11, but with the current role/team setups, it just wouldn't be what it should be. Better off creating a whole new job than butchering a classic IMO.

ehm, they have also said they will never release 3 jobs at the same time, again, cause of balancing 3 jobs, simultaneously, is a nightmare.
also the rising event hints at puppet-master and dancer, as well.
it's not exactly as if the game is *missing* tanks and healers. it doesn't matter if they add 10 more tanks, there's still going to be same amount of people playing as tanks.
the game already has a 2h-sword-tank, so it would be kind of -.- if SAM would be tank - and as i said, they don't need to release all the jobs at the same time
there's no particular reason they need to keep the 1:1:1 ratio - SMN/SCH/NIN, were all released before HW, no tanks - so HW releasing 1 of each, isn't really any indication they will keep it that way.
none of these jobs, have been confirmed either.

I should note if you read the Census info graphs from 2015 and compare them to the 2014 ones, Tanking and Healing actually GREW in percent while DPS shrank, which means that placing attractive jobs in certain roles can and will influence a player's decision, which means that Tanks and healers will probably continue to get the more widely "desirable" jobs added to them to help with the balance, rather than coming out with an expansion that has 3 new tanks and nothing else. (make sense?)

people will level DRK, cause....DRK. they won't necessarily make it main - you know, the whole thing with wave of DRK doing FATEs, at launch.

My appologies I fixed the punctuation so you could see they were intended to be bulletpions defining the content of their respective categories. Now on to your actual grips.

Also the new job ration and ongoing is 1:1:2 they released nin early to appease fans it was origionally slated for much later release. Anyone can look at the character screen in game and see this, with dps having the slight lead due to the dual roles on acn. The fallicy in your statement also is yes there is going to be a tank in the next set, does not mean sam has to be that tank though.

For the record I've seen you sam as tank post one of those likes is actually from me, does not mean I think it will happen though.

[myahele]

I'd guess Samurai (whether dps or tank) will be released 1st.

Since it was in consideration for the tank slot I'm sure they atleast have concepts on SAM

thank you for posting that article and shows how Samurai is most likely to be Dps due to fan feedback- feedback im trying to get for SAM and RD MGE so the devs can see it clearly.
