    Thanks for clarifying, I read that and was like hmm interesting but wanted to know what you meant.

    Mentally I sprang into three directions when reading it:

    - Magitek Pilot as a limited job, taking some of the really old ideas our dev team had for magitek combat mixed with perhaps some of the fancy g-warrior content they made
    - Engineering job, before we had a healer announced had suggested a Garlean inspired combat medic which used technology to craft some potent healing / buffs (as their gimmick) while also having a large kit of other technological inspired tools. Like orbital strikes, structures, drones, grenades', etc.
    - Advanced craft jobs, like Paladin in FF history (no longer really in FFXIV unless you're thinking really really early days). Paladin took white mage and gladiator for example, here you might have advanced crafting jobs (new crafting jobs) such as Materia Maester that can make special effect materia. Or going back to that magitek pilot you might have magitek engineer. Then again I just look at that and wonder why not put the craft under goldsmith lol. It does add some opportunity to have more leveling later in an expansion or what have you (say 5.5 adds 10 more levels to magitek engineer, that could be cool), fields of focused types of crafting, might be some exclusive gimmicks you can have (when crafting as a magitek engineer the UI changes a bit some unique new mechanics, etc), it's not .. not useless but you'd have to take advantage of the separation in a way tangible enough to not just be a way to obfuscate things.

    Crafty damage dealer could work as well, though it is semi-related to MCH ? Crafty tank is certainly a more open field though.
