What Classes Do You Want to See Next?

Cannoneer sounds great. Essentially plant-and-cast like black mage but with lots of bombs/specialized shot options/traps would be neat. Similar to GW2s Engineer (well certain aspects anyway).

It’s not really a new job, but I’d really like to see actual status effects brought back with actual usage. Not “needed” to clear content, but things like blind, slow, haste actually being more used and more impactful. I get why they removed protect and stone skin, but that was at the very least something interesting to do and added some consideration on whether we bring a healer to deep dungeon/treasure hunting or not.

Like, Blind need not last very long, but it should give a huge drop in accuracy to the point that, say, a monk could throw blind at the boss to possibly deny a tank buster.


So yeah, give us real, useful buffs and debuffs.
…then give me a job (like mystic knight) that actually works with them. Basically like how Blu spells have interactions.

I don't think a Ranged Physical class with cast times for attacks is out of the question, people just didn't want existing classes to be changed into that which was why Bowmage was not particularly well received...

As for status effects, the big problem is they rather easily become a must-have... There's a reason why every buff and debuff has fairly similar levels of effect, and somewhat low ones... Like 5% damage or 10% crit... It's to stop one class from having the most powerful buff and becoming something that every raid would "need" to have...

Doesn't change the fact that they said they will get job quests. And that they cant be ran at the same time.
they can and we see what they will do.



At that point you might as well just make a new job since you'd have to give them new skills and stuff anyways.

not at all you can reuse lots of the same skills the weapons have now or the old job have just add the particle effects and how much dps it do.

Berserker. There's only two two hander melee DPS and going around with a big weapon would be a lot of fun! Outside of WAR and DNK there's no job that really fits that "I have a big thing and I am gonna crush things" fantasy.

Casting as a ranged physical job sounds just as weird as casting as a melee.
Who would want to have cast bars on their melee DPS, right?
Oh but wait...

If it is done to the same extent as they did for SAM, it can be a cool mechanic.

What I mean is them making a whole new class, and designing it from the ground up to be a caster, rather than tacking on cast times to it. BRD and MCH don't feel like they were meant to just sit still and spam attacks much like for example BLM does...

I NEED Geomancer to be a magic DPS. Please please please

I mean, all they would need to do is make them the role skills so you can pick what you need for the coming fight.

Hope this isn’t a hot take (assuming it all goes well in EW) we don’t need more jobs they are getting too difficult to balance and make each unique soon we’ll have 30 jobs with one mech each

[Lihtleita]

if they add a musketeer/corsair/canoneer npc and dont put them in that empty guild in limsa, we riot
