My ideas for new Jobs they could put in SOONER rather than later

[Dhaenon]

I know there is about a billion of these threads but I thought I would share mine. Using current weapons forced by the armory system, I believe these are jobs they could put in with the next few Updates.

RANGER (Archer 30, Arcanist 15) DAMAGE
Archer guild directs you to an NPC that is trying to hunt down a beast that is terrorizing the forest. Through the resulting quests you find that the beast is none other than FENRIS. After an intense fight you slay the beast, but acquire it's Egi.

THIEF (Gladiator 30, Pugilist 15) TANK
The life of a sellsword eventually guides you into a life of crime. You guessed it, EVASION tank! Enmity generated by Mug, Trick Attack, Sneak Attack.

TEMPLAR (Lancer 30, Gladiator 15) TANK
I see another tank. Possibly more about magic defense and AOE damage, AOE magic circles for protecting party, parry heavy.

DARK KNIGHT (Marauder 30, Thaumaturge 15) DAMAGE
I know, I know... a Great Axe? It is the only option.
I see dark magic abilities, self-hurting for damage abilities. Marauder brings the lifesteal and DPS options, this is not a tank class.

RED MAGE (Thaumaturge 30, Conjurer 15) SUPPORT
I know... no sword. Wand and Shield, horrible, I know. Blame it on the current armory system. What we have here is a switch up to how Fire and Ice would work. Healing flames, Shielding ice. Stacking up Fire would heal for more and more, but burn Mana. Shielding with Ice would regen mana faster but the swapping would make for some interesting Support, I think.

DANCER (Pugilist 30, Conjurer 15) SUPPORT
Counterpart to the Bard. We have Sambas, Waltzes and Jigs. Don't forget to Flourish! A little Healing, Damage, Party Buffs.

GEOMANCER (Conjurer 30, Thaumaturge 15) DAMAGE
Due to your interactions with the Elementals in the Black Shroud, you are chosen to be their champion. I see Terrain based damage, Air, Earth and Water.

It's too early in the game to be adding so many tanks. "More tanks" will not greatly increase the number of people playing tanks, past the first week of fate grinding.

What do people really expect out of ranger? Isn't bard really good dps right now? It doesn't have the coveted limit break, but honestly it makes sense that they don't. (Highly mobile, not interfered with other people's red's, lesser damage taken if kiting, and most importantly, no positional requirements that are obstructed by needing to run away, other people's reds, and your own reds. (I just got to his backside and Titan targeted me with Landside")

How about things the game doesn't have, like a melee pet job like bst or pup? The basic jobs are certainly there for it (mrd+acn = bst, pug or gld+acn = pup), or arc+acn = a physical ranged pet job.

Puppetmaster off of PUG and ACN would be very cool.

Dark Knight should run with a scythe and or great sword.

Templar how would it work if its main base was to take magic damage when 80% of the time the enemy will not be using magic damage ?

Red Mage could go swords just give it a new type the saber and foil if thats to close to GLD then just give them a Mace.

You understand how the current Armory system works right?

In this game there is only
Sword/Dagger
Wand/Scepter
Staff/Radical
Book
Great Axe
Fists
Spear
Bow

The current system won't allow mix and matching. It is what it is.

[Grundy]

Puppetmaster off of PUG and ACN would be very cool.

Nuh-uh: PUG and GLD.

[Airikay]

Considering mages can have two different weapons, there's no reason it can't mix and match. Once you unlock RDM soul crystal you can also unlock ability to equip swords.

You realize implementing a single job or new class takes thousands of man hours in order to accomplish right? Armor models need to be made, animations, texturing, quest lines, new area's and NPC's for those quest lines, class balancing, QA, not to mention this all needs to be planned out ahead of time. If I had to guess, SE probably has a good idea what the next 2-5 jobs that they are going to be implementing are going to be, and a very rough scheduled release for them.

Sure, they might look at the community for an idea, but simply listing off vague details is pointless. Most of the suggestions you have are very standard and already been laid out in more detail by other members of the community in other threads. It's pointless to make another one of these threads, please go post your fruitless idea's in the relevant threads which have tens of pages of content regarding this matter.
