Realistic 5.0 Jobs

[Kazrah]

This is kinda moot since AF gear rarely bends to the fending archetype. PLD's 4.0 AF gear is not a tin can nor is WAR's (I'd say DRK too but that one is debatable) So AF and maybe dungeon gear can break said pattern..

What I mean by "tin can tank" is that they're going to wear Fending gear as opposed to any other gear type (i.e. Striking, Casting, Maiming, etc.), not the visual factor.

The other thing to bear in mind is that Chemist is in the top three right now for most demanded jobs that could actually happen, and I would still argue Oracle as a possibility simply because it'd be easier from a development standpoint to work on something they likely still have resources for.

And some final food for thought: if Dark Knight was requested as a DPS and released as a tank, and Samurai requested as a tank and released as a DPS, what makes you think Dancer would be a healer when it could just as easily be a melee DPS in Scouting gear?

God i hope not, because most players that want Dancer added want it as a healer (myself included) and also for frak sakes we have more then enough dps until 6.0, lol
Not to say that they listen to us :/

I know what you mean, but them having tin can gear doesn't take away any aesthetic that at this point has been thrown out the window. All we're really missing is actual robes for tanks and no, the wicca robe doesn't count.

DRK as a tank does make sense, the issue was that WAR got all the HP absorb abilities before DRK landed, so the current idea for DRK is unorthodox but not far-fetched.

I apologize but I fail to see Chemist and Oracle as "high demand" jobs when every job request thread has Geo, Blu, Dnc and Gunblade as the most in repeat.

Don't get me wrong, I am not betting for any, I'm one of the unpopular opinion holders of fixing the current ones before adding something. And which ever jobs they add, we'll know until fan fest which lands mid 4.4 cycle.

If we are lucky we may get hints in E3 and/or 4.4 update Main Scenario.

At this point all Jobs planned for 5.0 are most likely for certain finalized and maybe already completed. It now just a matter of waiting for their reveal and the developers side focus more on adjusting them before release of 5.0

I am aware of that, my comment of fan fest being mid 4.4 was more to point out how there's a cluster of players who expect Alphi to do an "Alisaie" job evolution in the story (and if I am not mistaken, she did her own "job tease" in 3.4 soul surrender)
