Predictions for job(s) in the next expansion?

[Karl0217]

That being said; A scythe wielding class, are we suspecting it will play like Sice? It gains some resource by dealing damage (with a bonus from killing an enemy?) Will it build up resources or buff stacks and lose them if it gets hit? How will it be different or similar to the DRG?

Job gauges that build up from damage for melee classes currently in-game are either increased via auto-attacks (Ninja, Paladin) or increased via successful combo actions (Warrior, Samurai, Dragoon). More then likely such a class would build up resources from successfully executing a combo with possible positional requirements like Samurai. I also doubt it would lose its stacks or see its job gauge decreased when it suffers damage. Many raid and dungeon bosses have arena wide AoE attacks were damage to the entire party cannot be avoided. A DPS job that loses resources and buff stacks when taking damage would lose a lot of appeal to the majority of the player base the minute one of those AoE attacks fired.

It could still work if you had a MNK style move that ate all of your resource for big damage based on how much of said resource you consumed.
Give them a way to use it before the raidwides.
