The current monk is a traveling ad to legalize euthanasia ,no one/class deserves to suffer as much ,by the fist of Rhalgr just let him go already .. I mean each expansion(and disappointment) you end to expect nothing , you just say yourself quietly ''it can't be worse'' until you see a skill video that make you lie , the moral is , devs always could do worse
so delete it or reset , that's much easier to create than try to improve a failed content
(sorry for my engrish attempt )

I'm not sure why we would assume that we would get a 5th tank while two dps roles are still at 3, as well as we just got a tank in 5.0

true i forgot to look at that if they did add a 4th would it be magical or physical ranged we did just get dance so maybe another caster?

Because we just got dancer in 5.0 I would say it is a pretty safe bet to say a caster and a healer will be coming

What type of caster could they realistically add though? We have the main archetypes (dot spec and caster spec) and RDM fills a gap as a bit of a proc/burst spec class.

I mean they keep adding stuff into the game for Geomancer. I mean other games have worked around getting passed one dot spec caster, one pure caster, and then whatever you would consider red mage. They have the technology and skill to make whatever they end up picking, work well.

I mean shit they put 4 melee into the game, considering at the end of the day you're just hitting something with a weapon, alongside whatever the class gimmick is. If they can make 4 melee dps feel unique and different that can do that with casters.

I'm pretty positive they can come up with something. In terms of aesthetics there are more than enough jobs to add after all. Healer and Ranged Magic DPS are what we should get, if they care about the way they set up the roles at least.

There are definitely options to explore.


Channeling - There could be something to explore with channeled abilities (like Flamethrower on MCH). Wouldn't be the most engaging so it would need to be combined with other things. Perhaps make it so channeled spells aren't interrupted with oGCDs. Maybe include a rune system where you channel a spell and use runes to augment it to keep it going by continuously changing the element which functions as its own elemental wheel for a semblance of a rotation. Each time the element is changed the channel becomes stronger and when you finish your elemental wheel you could get a burst channel that incorporates all elements. A special rune could fill up a Xenoglossy-esque attack for damage while moving where the longer you've been channeling the stronger the attack is.

Ground-placed/Totem - They took away a lot of the ground-placed AoEs which leaves an area be explored. Maybe give the ability to shrink or expand them to make smaller fields deal more damage. Trigger them to explode like Earthly Star/Wildfire at will to compensate for phase changes or end-of-fight use. If you wanted to have more a melee-range experience for a mage, maybe they could alter some of your own spells while standing in the area of effect. This kind of aligns with FFXI Geomancer, actually. They had a totem called a Luopan that could provide buffs to people, explode for damage, explode for healing etc. While that wouldn't work 1:1 in XIV, the base idea could be altered to fit.

There was also a Geomancer mock up made recently that had them with positionals for their spells ending in channeled spells for a finishers. Now that would be an interesting new take.

I want to add that meme about it being too long and now I’m afraid to ask............but I’m gonna ask it anyway, what is wrong with monk?

I am genuinely asking cos I really don’t know, I’m levelling all jobs to 80 so it’s currently 55 so haven’t got the slightest clue what is wrong with it to ask for a rework of the whole job?

I thought the storm blood version was good, it definitely wasn’t a mch mess back then.
Can someone explain to me or at least point the way for me to see. Thanks

P.s I do t usually play fist like jobs so haven’t really levelled it because of that. Prefer big axes and swords and stuff.

Summoner needs to lose its raise. Do that and I'll be happy.
