6.0 New Job (Healer: Sage and Melee DPS: ???)

[Kaedan]

Also consider that the T-Shirt might be a hint of a LIMITED job. So it could very well be Necromancer hint, but not as the Melee. Hint meaning Necro will be limited.

They poked fun at necromancer, I doubt that’s the melee dps.

For the melee dps, Reaper or Assassin job is my bet with Scythe as weapon.

As I think I did that concept last year.
It would be so great if they have come up with the exact same idea ^^

Sage looks more like a PSO job to me than a FF14 job, but I suppose it looks okay otherwise. I doubt I'll ever play it so what makes me most curious is how the new healing division is going to work out, especially since the only healer I really play at all is Astro.

As for the other new job? I dunno. I still really hope it's not a necro and don't really see how a necro would even work as a melee class. That said, it would be hilarious if they did put a melee necro in and didn't give them a scythe as a weapon. That would be a troll I could actually respect.

Perhaps the Scythe Melee DPS will be a DPS take on the Dark Knight?

The shirt in question:



It's a t-shirt from the Japanse fashion brand Neighborhood. Several of their shirt designs have the phrase "The Filth and the Fury" referring to a documentary by the same name about the Sex Pistols.

My guess is they're going with a scythe dps and tying it to this new weapon Zenos is picking up in the latest patch. If they're going down that path, Zenos is the great-grandson of Hades, and so the reaper reference is kind of... "fitting". It may be unrelated but it could be their interpretation of "rune fencer"/"mystic knight".

The new healer looks spiffy and I like casters with floating orb weapons... shame there's no caster dps this time but I hope the existing ones get some good new spells/mechanics.

New job will be pistol based and be sexy, confirmed.

hmmm... it is hard. Maybe the new class uses a Scythe, but what classes have used scythe? I also can't see a Necro job because it still causes issues in being the warrior of light. Maybe a Geomancer using a scythe since scythes were used as agricultural tools. Beast master also been known to use Scythes, but who said it would be a beast master like the ones we have already encountered?

One of the Spectral Necromancer's lines in Heroes' Gauntlet literally has her saying "Tainted though I am, I am still a Warrior of Light." I don't think NCM (just an abbreviation I cooked up on the spot) would cause as many issues as you're fearing.

This looks like a scythe so maybe next melee a scythe?
