Random Query: The Trinity System

Oh Vespar yes i would like the support classes like that. I wanted bard to be more support oriented for instance. But tell me regarding hybrid classes, do you think similar to wow style?, like a white mage should have a tree branching in 1 direction to heal and in another to dps? i would like that as well, or black mage branching into fire and ice or lets say arcane? sorry i guess i didn't understand the thread as i thought i did. ^_^, if you ment it like that then i am for it. i would like a bit of diversity.

I'm not certain that they could bring in skill "trees" now as the game was never designed for branching skill trees, but perhaps they could have an ability that could toggle you into a different skill set. So if you wanted to, as a healer or tank, queue as a DPS instead you could turn on this ability and you'd have access to a DPS-ing skill set. While entering the dungeon you queued for that skill-set switching ability should not be able to be turned off. Keeping you in the role you queued for, for the duration of the dungeon. (This is just an example I came up with, but it could work in theory) Obviously not ALL jobs can allow for this. For example classes that were always intended to be DPS and nothing but like DRG, MNK and BLM probably wont have the ability to swap into a different role. But classes like SCH, AST, WHM, WAR, PLD, DRK, etc could swap into another role.

Personally, I prefer the addition of support roles instead. Less confusing and easier to implement. This would add diversity and complexity to the game without having to seriously add to or overhaul classes that are already present.

If you replace white mage with character, then yes, we have this already.

maybe the devs should just remove the whole job system and go back to the "build your individual class yourself with mixing skills from other classes" philosophy that we had during 1.0

I would absolutely love support jobs to be put in the game!! they are my favorite and it makes me so sad there isnt any in this game

Astro is a good support job, that can heal
