4.0 Where will we go? what class (or classes) will be added

[Alahra]

In this year's anniversary event, they hinted fairly strongly that we'll see Samurai and Red Mage--either that or Yoshi-P was trolling, which isn't outside the realm of possibility.

There was also a bit of a hint that we might see Blue Mage, but that one wasn't as direct.

[Azper]

Samurai is for sure, not only because of the hints and Yoshi-P talking about it, but because I recall a shot of one of the developers desktops with a folder clearly labeled Samurai. I'll take Red Mage or Blue Mage (as both were hinted at in the anniversary event), but not both. At least not both in 4.0 series. Which leaves the final spot for my personal preference: Dancer.

More healer or support or tank classes. We have an overflow of DPS right now.

Yoshi already said.

You say this as if he has a track record of keeping his word.

[LandricFrey]

Red Mage. That is all. Ty

You say this as if he has a track record of keeping his word.

generally when it was about add a class, he was always true to him word
he did say the game was lacking a scout class and was wanting to add one, and had often talked of the ninja. that was the first jobs.

he have too often talk of the dark knight and was added too, same for the machinist that was simply asked for ages...

you can try to hope, but i don't see the blue mage coming soon, mostly because it will be impossible to bring the jobs as in the solo game and people will complain even more than with summoner.

samurai was extremely asked when people did learn they had choose the dark knight, more than he was expecting. a few hint in this way, was the last new years event, the haircut of samurai we did get and the futur event that simply give us a samurai armor :x don't bring the jobs will be quite means if not cruel...

for redmage, it's as much wanted than was wanted the gunner class. and i doubt they will add a tank jobs to the game soon, mostly because they need to find a new sort of tank. Samurai = warrior in the principle then add it will as tank will be silly.

In a interview around 2.2 he said that would have loved to see Thief too.. but we know how it ended the story. Until they announce something, nothing is for sure with SE

[Gaiussenpai]

Don't know why you would want not trinity when their team is understaffed and is unable to deliver things of lesser scale such as inventory and all p2p mmos with trinity so far have not fared well at all.

If they Do add Red/blue mage how do you guys think it will be implemented both are really diverse in the way they play red mage being that jack of all trades and blue mage with learning monsters spells?

If they Do add Red/blue mage how do you guys think it will be implemented

i feel red mage would be best implemented as a tank and blue mage best as a dps, now while red could be a dps and blue could be a tank i feel red mage just feels so much more like a jack of all trades if he were to go a tank (because honestly at this point the tank role just fits that well in this game).

as for blue mage i had an idea for how to make it work.
first off for its main source of dps give it blank slots which get filled when using a lancet type of skill on enemies or pets (more on the pets thing in a second) and when skills are used in combonations cause skillchains for extra damage the goal for bluemage would be managing which skills hes absorbed and dishing them out for maximum dmg.
as for the pets thing this is to solve the issue of not having enough enemy types in encounters.
