Thread: New Class/Job in 2.2?

I'd be willing to try Rune knight/Fencer and Mystic Knight mostly because they sound like they'd be Magic based, though looking at how the Paladin was done, I'm certain they'd be more Physical based than Magical. Sadly none of what I'd prefer to play were hinted at.

Red Mage and Blue Mage are my favorite jobs of all time! I just really hope they don't get thrown under the bus by being based off current classes, particularly the lame GLA. It would suck to have such a lame setup of 50 Lvs and then only 5 unique actions for both jobs. RDM and BLU are far too versatile in nature to be based off the current classes which are so far set-in-stone roles.

Sure SCH is a healer but it doesn't feel THAT different from SMN when you look at the action line-up. As SCH you can pretty much do all the same things as SMN can do it just doesn't do as much dmg and you lose some very bland DPS boosting actions and the pet functions differently. However comparing the other way around it does look like SCH gained a lot over over SMN as far as what it can do. Sure both are equally effective at their corresponding roles, but really it feels more just like the stats changed more than the actual job.

Compare to CNJ and all of a sudden SCH looks like it gained 5 levels of healing instead of 50, it just happened to be on a much more versatile class that has a lot of utility actions. As much as I'm looking forward to attempt tanking on both RDM and BLU whether it will be able to or not I don't want it to be based of the GLA setup. Because compared to the the more versatile setup of ACN, GLA does not look like it will sway very much at all from tanking, and again I would love to tank as RDM and/or BLU, but just adding 5 actions to GLA isn't going to make RDM nor BLU unique enough for me.

I really hope SE makes a Fencer class and extends to both RDM and BLU off that with BLU equipping Scimitars instead and GLA would make a great cross-class candidate for either job if SE wants them to fulfill a Tank Role or support tank via Support Role.
