Why does everyone want Chemist as a new job?

It’s been on the radar for quite a bit of time though, just a bit in the background. Geomancer was datamined in 1.0 as a branch off of Conjurer, the opposite of white mage, when scholar/summoner was enroute.

And the hype restarted when Yoshi P said he had an eastern caster that was planned/made for Stormblood that never got released. It has definitely been a slow burn though.

Perhaps we'll get Healer CHM and DPS GEO next expansion. To please both sides.

That's honestly what I am wondering, which makes more sense to me, but I admit I don't know offhand which DPS "Role" needs something more.

Let's see. 4 melee, 3 physical range, 3 magical. Physical range just got something, so...Yeah, could work.

If we get a 5th melee with 6.0 I will scream both internally and externally.

I agree with Ryu here with the Chemist Healer and Geo caster. This way no one’s toes get stepped on thematically. We get a 4th caster and we don’t get a second healer who focuses on wind/water/earth.

Yea I think this works out really well, because then only Physical Ranged would be 3 with every other roll being balanced at 4 each and most of the unique big ticket FF jobs being represented
