New Classes?

[Alu79]

Why would SCH advance further? WHM wouldn't 'get' Geomancer, CNJ would.

And honestly I would rather they strive for closer balance before introducing new classes as they would have to dedicate quite a bit of resources that could go to further balancing what we have now. They would need to create the base class and advance job, story, gear/weapon, art for the skills. Decide the role of the new class. Honestly, if they introduce another class, it will probably be a Dex user. Currently there are 2 classes per stat. 2 casters that use INT, 2 healers that use MND, two melee dps that use STR and two tanks that are VIT focused. Then we have BRD which are the only class that uses DEX as well as only class with the kinds of buffs it has and that uses melee mechanics from ranged, so imo it should be some Dex based class like NIN.

Then they have to find a way to balance it against the classes that already exist. Like making sure it doesn't make any current class obsolete OR not offer enough to warrant bringing it.

So my vote is for spending resources balancing current classes in game but if they absolutely have to then make it a Dex stat based NIN.

PS: I am ALL for new spells tho.

Yeah but this is just ideas, just provoking thoughts while we wait for more content :]
