What new DoL classes might we see in expansions?

[Fizzy]

My biggest gripe about this whole game is the lack of exploring/adventure when setting out to roam around. Too many things take you from point A to B and back 20 times. So I've been trying to find ways to encourage roaming and searching that isn't repetitive.

So, I'm proposing an Explorer class. Someone who can have the skills and gear to get to places normal players cannot. For example, when I was gathering in Thanalan, I looked up and noticed the large rock formations and wondered how cool it would be to climb up there and see whats on top. Would I find rare bird nests with feathers or eggs? How about lost treasure? In Gridania, I would like to be able to climb some of the rather large trees and see what's at the top. Limsa Lominsa has cliff sides that you could rappel down or shorelines that could be explored for sunken treasure. I think this class would give a good opportunity to make better use of the beautiful scenery we all want to explore more.

While leveling some of the skills to be learned could be rock climbing, rappelling, snorkeling, and diving. The tools to support those skills would be climbing gear such has hooks, ropes, gloves etc. Diving gear could be snorkels, diving fins, etc. And Rappeling could also be rope, and a grappling hook. This would also give crafters new things to create as well as help the market.

Best idea ever. Would be a nice tribute to Bartz as well.

I wouldn't mind an DoL being an Archaeologist gathering old materials for crafters (having small ruins or digging etc)

Also would love to have an instance that we could do once per day for a nice exp bonus (for leveler's) with also rare drops for mats / gears

For example

Archaeologist - Ruin (Name) and we're given 30-60 mins to explore and fulfill requirements to achieve the exp bonus etc

Also would be great to include Miner (Caving) Botanist (Forest Exploration) and Fisher (something)

Archaeologist is so far the best suggestion I've seen on this topic.

It definitely could fit very well with all the Allagan lore.

Diplomat. Having to regale the beast tribes and other races to form closer bonds/alliances to remedy the current situation of hostilities would be nice.

Would be pretty interesting/funny if the bst esque class was indeed a DoL. makes sense to some degree; bst were nature oriented according to their description in XI (Yea, I still have my old manual^^). Just herd up various mobs to gather materials from them or something. Perhaps even take a few out with you on dangerous ventures. In another thread, I believe someone mentioned DoL dungeons or something to that extent; perhaps herders can be the protector while the other DoL gather crap (I am reaching, i know, guy can dream though).

Edit: A bst esque class may be better served in its own little bubble with other DoL imo. SE is still trying to figure out bst's party mechanics to this day (XI). Just my 2 cents/humble opinion^^ Would play it on DoL or DoW; land makes a little more sense to me due to its nature oriented...well......nature^^

Card player. Craft your own cards, top tier cards won or made. Own card playing suit, free to play cards with anyone, timed tournaments and championship card playing rounds. aw this would a DoH skill anyway so ignore me..

The 3 DoL's we have are pretty solid. I just wish we could get more gear for our gatherers. Every patch adds countless weapons and armor for War/Magic but DoL is still stuck with the crafted "AF" sets, luminaries, and the 4 forager items. Sucks for players like myself who main DoL jobs..

[Wadoka]

Archaeologist would have to be something like MIN 30 / MUS 15 (Musketeer)

Why?

Because the mainhand tool would be a Webley revolver; the offhand, a bullwhip, and the gear would start with the Battered Fedora of Fortune....

i still stand by my briliant prediction of janitor.

someone's gotta clean up all this crap!. game will save recently discarded or vendered items and you can gather them from garbage piles to keep the city clean!
