What jobs are we hoping to see in the next expansion?

[LineageRazor]

I don't care much for the 'Dancer' idea floating around, popular though it may be. It seems like a recipe for disaster given that a lot of the gear and animations would likely be designed with feminine aesthetics in mind. So far, the developers have also expressed discomfort when it comes to designing gear that shows off the male form so I do not have faith that it would be handled well for those of us who would want DNC gear to be masculine and tastefully suggestive.

They did fine with the male dancer outfits in FFXI. I doubt they'd have trouble with it here.

I'd love Dancer, Puppetmaster and a Whip using job, I'd also like "different" types of healers...lets leave magic behind.

And yet, look at all of the healer gear. It's not a question of if they can, but if they will.

[Bobs]

Turn Monk into a tank

Geomancer with the ability to spec DPS or Healer (queue as such) (basically how Summoner/Scholar are but without splitting it into two jobs.)

[MageBlack]

Advanced Jobstones.

Use an advanced jobstone to turn your Warrior Tank into a Viking DPS
Machinist gunslinger DPS into a Chemist Healer that shoots potions at people
etc.

[Kazgrel]

Magitek Knight or such, wielding a war hammer (gun hammer maybe?) a la Nero. Could be a job that synergies with MNK’s blunt resist down debuff. Only issue is how a lot of the WAR attack animations mimic what one would expect from hammer swings (and you can see that’s what SE did for Nero in the last Omega unlock quest).

What like SCH/SMN/ACN? SE hates this.

There's a lot of things SE doesn't like (branching jobs, pet jobs, releasing jobs mid-expansion, etc)... >w>

[MageBlack]

What like SCH/SMN/ACN? SE hates this.

Not quite. More like, you do a level 70 5.0 job quest and you are given a new job stone with its own separate levelling from 70 - 80. whereas the SCH/SMN/ACN is all in tandem and tied together. So if I wanted to get my war tank up to 80 after I got my viking to 80 I would have to swap and level it up. Branching jobs instead of linked together. Might need to drop the level down to 30 even? I dont know, I just like the idea of an advanced job, even if it doesnt change your party role. I know SE hated it but I liked it. Probably too much work...
