New Class Speculations

All I know is Samurai better be a damn DPS. That's all I want.

Yoshi said that since DRK is tank, they would be making SAM a dps. So don't worry there ^^

I do believe the quote was more like, he envisioned samurai as a damage, not that it would be a damage.

I want Samurai as a DPS STR based job. I would like to see Blue Mage as an INT dps class that learns monster attacks and provides a unique way of playing a caster.

Considering SAM was going to be a Tank roll in FFXI which made as much sence as NIN Evasion tank, it good to see it be the way it should be lol

But dropping my 2 cents on the topic..

Red Mage (RDM) - I honestly feel if RDM does get added to the game, it might be a little watered down. You have to remember that RDM is a "Jack of all trades, master of none". But because the way the current battle system is, that might not be possible. Sure it can dabble into the current schools of magic that are currently in the game, and might be the only DPS job that can heal others (Example - Using Convert, RDM version of Cleric stance but with additional affects). Or be the only job in the game that can Multi-Role as in Queing as DPS or Healer. just a few ideas I've had in my head as of late.

Blue Mage (BLU) - Being the True Melee Mage job & with the current battle system I feel BLU would fit right in, just depends on how the devs impliment this. I honestly feel BLU done right would by far be the most customizable job in the game and what sets it apart from the other jobs.

Dancer (DNC) - Dancer I feel would fit best as a Healer Role & could possibly be the Ture DPS Healer (as in no cleric stance, not even cross class option). As a bonus If there is a BRD and DNC in the same party, they would gain bonuses off of each other (this idea spawned from FF Tactics and how Only Males were BRDs and Females were dancers but wihtout the gender lock of course lol) depending on what BRD songs are playing, DNCs would gain additional effects on certain abilities and vise versa for BRDs (trying to make this sound fun but I already know some are not gonna like it, its the forums after all lol).

Corsair (COR) - Had an idea for it for quite a long time, somewhat fleshed out as well. Like example a mix of Melee and range attack combos (Sword Main hand, Gun off hand {Merlwyb}). Questline too, May post in a thread of its own. But now that MCH is here, this is not possible (Too many Pirates in this Game not to have a pirate adventure! lol)

Only issue here is if we have classes that get direct bonuses off of each other it would then be mandatory that they be together to ensure you are putting out as much DPS/Healing as possible, at least in a raid or harder content scenario. I am all for DNC being a healer though

Yeah I've though about that too, but might make more sence if BRD songs helped with only heals the buff would be small and doesn't stack from other BRDs in the group.. Atk abilities would be a huge imblance, but I was thinking that it would encourage BRDs to play songs more often which benefits the DNC/Healer, which in turn benefits the group as a whole if you can see where i'm going with this.. or trying too at least xD
