Is FFXIV hinting Berserker, Necromancer, and Chemist next expansion?

[Ryion]

I mean, I could say GNB is just melee MCH, yet both exist and are very different.

So two total differend 'beserkers', tank(WAR) and melee(???), are not impossible.
I dont think its comming...but in my head it would be cool.

I think the bottle thrower (Heal) is comming...and a Range DPS.

Berserker is basically Warrior. Just let him use DRK swords as alternative weapon.
Necromancer is too villainy for WoL.
Chemist - i would say almost confirmed.

[Ryion]

Necromancer is too villainy for WoL.

I killd as the WoL thousands of living little creatures and in Garlemald the civilians and widows have a god reason to call me "Slaughterer of Light".
I think this is not the problem here ^^

Judging by the twins last conversation, I'm pretty sure they will be the ones to pick up the 2 new jobs, with Alphinaud being the new healer variation (Chemist or whatever they decide to call it). Alisaie will get the other job, which is harder to pin down. She's recently learned to do a bit of Fae creation magic. I don't think necromancer or anything controlling the undead will happen in large part because it would never go over in the Chinese version of the game.

Necromancer is too villainy for WoL.

I want it for that reason though.

Necromancy isn't inherently evil. It's all about how you use it.

So is thief, but they thought that was morally sus enough to not include it so I can't see them doing necromancer.

You're raising corpses from the ground to use them as puppets to fight at your side. Hell, the boss in The Heroes' Gauntlet even makes them explode. That doesn't look like a pretty heroic activity, especially in the eyes of your allies

and we already have Alchemist as a crafter.

Ah yes, remember how we can't have Gladiator because we already have Blacksmith as a crafter?

How could we reconcile the idea of a class that uses swords against a class that makes the swords? Aren't they all in the same?

If the only reason you have against Chemist is "The name is similar to Alchemist", then just that's purely superficial. It could be called Apothecary, Physician, Medic, Surgeon. Anything that implies healing using drugs and medicine.

"Oh, but a class that uses actual potions is not viable."
Of course they would not use Potions as they are in game. The "use" of healing items would be implied in the animations and names, they would not use actual potions. Just like Bard and Machinist do not use actual ammunition.

This analogy breaks down because Alchemists do use the potions they create. E.g. the Alchemist guild is part of the Phrontistery in Ul'dah where they house and treat patients. Not saying that Chemist couldn't also exist, just pointing out it's a bad analogy with respect to defining a difference between Chemist vs Alchemist.

I'm starting to get the idea that people who want Berserker just really, really wish warrior was relegated to dps role.
