Give us Ranger

[Krista]

Enough with nerf bard again. I'm sick some noob people still complain about bard.
Why you not asking SE to delete bard class if you hate it

There is no point to release another class like ranger that using the same weapon. Bard is already enough to cover it.
If you want another range dps, just ask them to make musketer that use gun.

Make RNG and make it super strong from ranged! Call it Musketeer, and make each attack take 1-3 seconds to use. Trade mobility for damage. Trade utility to keep your range at the higher dps rate. Then you can be a BLM with different animations . . . As much as we would all love some new jobs to come in, they need to be brought in properly, and it's VERY rare that anyone has a good idea for implementation.

I could see a buffing job coming soon, haste exists, enspells exist, spike spells exist, paralyze exists, but only for enemies right now... but at least they're there already.

Calm down there. Musketeer class will arrive later but seems most people haven't notice the 2 Jobs per class thing.

Archer still has his 2nd Job that needs to be released which is most likely Ranger Job or some other Job in FF series that would go with a Bow weapon user.

Still got to wait for Musketeer class release before that happens unless SE plans to release both Archer 2nd Job with Musketeer class and Musketeer's jobs.

I am confused... 2 Jobs per class.... Lnc gets Drg and.... Pgl gets Mnk and.... Mrd gets War and... Gla, Pld; Cnj, Whm; Thm, Blm. The only one that gets two is Arc, Smn and Sch and they have to share a stat distribution --which people hate.

Am I missing something?

Each class will eventually be given a 2nd Job but as of now they are not released.

Arcanist is the first Class to be given 2 Jobs. Eventually each current class will be given theirs but most likely we won't see them until new classes are released to serve as their level 15 required classes or 2nd cross-skill class.

Unless Yoshi-P has plans to expand Job cross-skills beyond 2 classes per Job.

That is like... light years away! But here's hoping. I also saw the movie in your signature as a late-night, might-as-well-put-something-on netflix watch, it was.. okay. I think Hildibrand would have improved it!

Add 2-3 support roles, Retweak all current content to 5 man..

Groups would take 10 times longer to get together because support is an unpopular role that you effectively have to sucker people into playing (XI's RDM and COR come to mind). Some of you have really learned nothing from the past, it seems. 0.o

whatever they decide to call archers 2nd job im hoping it will be a new pet class.

and that it has the ability to tame different open world pets, ie like wows hunter.
so many great animals in the game.

RIFT is actually a fairly prime example of a Support Role poorly implemented. Waiting for the Dungeon Finder to find that Support guy was atrocious, and getting a team of 5 before that tool was made was even worse.

I don't get why Bards aren't happy with how the Job functions. As a Monk, Scholar and Warrior, i LOVE having a skilled Bard in my party.

Every Job has a Role, something it's good at. Monk has exceptional continuous single target DPS. Black Mages have exceptional periods of burst damage. Dragoons are a good mix between the Black Mages burst and the Monks continuous DPS. Summoners are great at dealing a lot of constant damage to multiple targets at once.
The strength of the Bard is its ability to greatly improve the performance of everyone in your party, through resource regeneration or bonus damage with Requiem.

If you want to just do massive damage ranged hits, roll a Black Mage, don't try to force a Job to change to suit your desires. Leave the poor Bards alone to do what they're good at -_-
