Scout, Caster, Pet. Which class would you want next?

[PrettyPrincess]

Caster class (Ranged DD and Debuff)

where ya'll get healer class from?

[Kaizersan]

we know this :P

Just speak for you and you alone because a lot of people don't read up on stuff before they say things and last thing I want to hear is people QQing if he picks smn and they find out no major primals can be summoned.

Pets. But not bad pets.

FFXI's solution to making sure pet classes aren't over powered was to make it so nobody could do anything to pets outside of special skills. Because of this, when haste got put into the picture, pet jobs always lose because the pet doesn't benefit, so they are at a disadvantage. It's important for pets to scale properly with the master, and to be affected by buffs and debuffs. Not being able to do these things severly limits the strategies for which pet classes can be included.

I really hate to say this, but this is where I point to WoW, where pet classes are balanced just fine despite the fact that both you and other players can heal and buff pets like they would any player character. I'm no big fan of WoW, but this is perhaps the one biggest thing the game handled better than most- pet classes.

What I want: The Thief.
What I will get: A thief.

Heh...seeing fow shallow the game mechanics are going to be past 1.20 i don't think pet classes would be good...it will be something like FFXI DRG (pet mimic) or some s#!tty version of FFXI BST due the amount of actions. I don't see the 2.0 (assuming we won't get another battle revamp after this one fail again) having what's needed to support a pet class.

[Delmontyb]

All three!!!

[Drogo]

I'd want a pet job first.

[Babydoll]

does CON and WHM not meet your healing needs?

It does but nearly everyone will have it to 50 eventually...healers are hard to find. There definatley needs to be multiple healing classes..just like how there are multiple DD classes.

If everyone has it to 50 how will it be hard to find? >.>

Honestly though how many healers does the game need? They'll just end up feeling pretty much the same anyway. They should add more unique classes instead of clones of existing ones.

I would go with Caster and Beastmaster. Perhaps until we have more primals and avatars to fight, then summoner
