New Jobs off current Classes!

[jomoru]

Yeah that's what I don't get if its a healer like CNJ and uses the same weapons why a new class and not just make the jobs off from CNJ? Since you didnt state any abilities it seemed like an extra CNJ



Its role is Tanking, with supporting abilities, hence the term Hybrid, and it's not in the game yet but Yoshi said it will be. And how will two tanking classe cause headaches? I see more customization on a role, Tanking.
.

Then it should come off of a different class. Its that simple There's no reason for a single class to have two ways to Tank or Dps, or heal or whatever. One will always be seen as superior it will end up fluxated back and forth like specs in WoW.

First of all this is just a "what if" thread. Basically I want to see how creative the community is by asking, what new jobs do you think can be added with the current existing classes? For example we currently have 1 which is Arcanist that can be Healer and DD as Scholar or Summoner. We mostly expect bard to become a Hybrid and Ranger to be added to Archer, but what about the rest of the classes?

What goes hand in hand with Marauder, Gladiator, Pugilist, Lancer, Thaumaturge, and Conjurer? Kudos if you can make an opposite role like SMN<-> SCH


I'll start us off with a new Job

Time Knight

which is based off of Gladiator, which will also be a Tank/support Hybrid

Support isn't a role in this game. Giving Gladiator another Tank Job is just going to cause headaches.

Current Stuff:
Gladiator > PLD, BLA (Blademaster, DW DPS)
Marauder > WAR, DRK / BST
Pugilist > MNK, PUP
Lancer > DRG, CHK (Choco Knight)
Archer > BRD, RNG / BST
Thaumaturge > BLM, NEC (Necromancer)
Conjurer > WHM, GEO

New Stuff:
Fencer > RDM, BLU
Rogue > THF, DNC
Ronin > SAM, NIN
Musketeer > COR/PIR, GUN (Corsair/Pirate, Gun Mage)

That's my guess anyway. I can go into more details if you like.

Botanist -> Dark Knight

Botanist -> Dark Knight

I can see it now. The BTN becomes enraged after dealing with RMT gatherers, tells, and undercutters.

One day he snaps, and a black pool swirls around his feet. He gets sucked in like getting flushed down a toilet, spiraling down into the abyss.

Moments later, a barbed, scythe wielding phantom of doom rises from the pool with an ominous rumble.

He swings the blade wide, and a wave of dark energy sweeps across the hills, beheading all RMT and botters hiding behind walls.

Such begins the dark knight and his signature skill: Guillotine.

I think the way jobs are being implemented, we can see they're really thinking outside the box (like scholar and smn.. and most obviously brd)
That's why I'm thinking RDM coming out of musketeer would be totally plausible (RDM with guns = awesomeness).
As Beastmaster would from archer (like a hunter, capturing wild mobs. seems to fit in well with the wood wailers)
So here's what i've been thinking:

Musketeer -> Corsair [DPS] / Red Mage [maybe a healer over time, so he could DPS a lot too]
Archer -> Beastmaster [DPS pet class]
Pugilist -> Puppetmaster [DPS pet class] / Dancer [support DPS, like brd but with TP] (these seem kinda obvious from the PUG and uldah lore)
greatsword (knight or something) -> Dark Knight [tank] (im sure the next job to come will be a tank, cuz they want to pull people into playing more tank. so either this or
katana or dual dagger (rogue) -> Ninja [Melee DPS] / Samurai [evasive tank]
Thaumaturge -> Time or Green Mage [support dps] (slows, gravities, poisons, maybe even a haste. i'd looove this)
Conjurer -> Geomancer [dps] (whoohoo more elementals)
Gladiator -> Mystic Knight or Blue Mage [dps] (just cuz its awesome, could lose his ability to equip a shield. rather, make shields not usable on these jobs)

I like your ideas. I've been thinking if they add new jobs to current classes we might see an influx of gear for current classes. like if DRK is off marauder we might see greatswords added to marauder a patch before the release of said job. But i do think based off what Yoshi has stated Fencer will lead to RDM and Rogue to thief. I like the Beastmaster of archer though.and Dancer and Puppetmaster from Pug makes a lot of sense.

Completely forgot about thief and drk haha

I dunno, I imagined a beastmaster with a bow. Could be awesome XD

I think you're missing how shields work for Gladiators. It's almost half of their weapon stats. I mean, yeah, you COULD take away the shields, but from L30-40, they'd be practically unusable due to Job-specific weapons only emerging in Stone Vigil...

...and all of them would be dungeon-exclusive.
