New Jobs: One possible concept

[MiriOhki]

Was discussing some of the new job conversations with a friend on a MU* and had an idea on introducing new jobs without messing with the lore too much, and this was mostly inspired by Arcanist, in that, with this concept, each of the new jobs that hasn't been mentioned before is an alternate soulstone, much like Arcanist can go either a nuking role with Summoner or a healing role with Scholar. One rough idea would be

Marauder->
Warrior: Tank (Requirements: Marauder/Gladiator)
Dark Knight: Tank/DD hybrid (Marauder/Thaumaturge)
Pugilist->
Monk: pure DD (Pugilist/Lancer)
Dancer: DD/Support (Pugilist/Archer)
Archer->
Bard: Support (Archer/Pugilist)
Ranger: Ranged DD (Archer/Lancer)
Gladiator->
Paladin: Tank (Gladiator/Conjurer)
Magic Knight: DD/Support (Gladiator/Thaumaturge)
Lancer->
Dragoon: DD (Lancer/Marauder)
?

DoM
Conjurer->
White Mage: Healer (Conjurer/Arcanist)
?

Thaumaturge->
Black Mage: DD (Thaumaturge/Archer)
Red Mage: Support/DD (Thaumaturge/Conjurer)

Arcanist->
Summoner: Support/DD (Arcanist/Thaumaturge)
Scholar: Support/Healer (Arcanist/Conjurer)


I'm not entirely sure what would be good ones for Lancer or White Mage. Any suggestions, comments, ideas?

Conjurer I actually thought of a good one, given the conjurer questline dealing with elements. I think as a conjurer dps job Geomancer would work.

LNC/Marauder = Gunblade "Tech" (or sumthin lmao) DPS (ALSO able to throw grenades!!)

[Dregnautt]

Actually i think they might have to expand the "jobs" first lol

I would love to see every class have one DPS option, and one option that's either tank or healer.

Yes like warrior as a barbarian or sumthing for straight dps. I would fly towards that. But at the same time they needa attract more healer/tank options aswell for obvious reason one being duty finding.

Well, actually one reason I proposed that was to get people to do tanking/healing, even if they feel "I just want to DPS". Just look at Arcanist. There's loads of people who likely only leveled it to have Summoner. But you queue up for a dungeon, notice it's taking forever, and say "Ok, I'll go in as scholar so I don't have to wait an hour to play, but still get xp for my DPS" Probably not the best way to get folks playing tanks and healers, but it's something.

You can edit the post to bypass the word limit.

On topic: I would like to see an "Advanced Job' system requiring 3 classes to be at 30 to achieve the said job.
For example:

Dark Knight (2h sowrd)
30 Marauder
30 Thamaturge
30 Lancer

In addition to that I believe that this will only work if they introduce new classes such as the solider (2h greatsword), ronin (katanas), bandit (daggers), oracle (instrument) to coincide with the new jobs.

My personal thinking is that solider will be a tank class due to the nature of heavy weapons but in terms of spectrum it geared towards OT while PLD will still be a superior MT and WAR being the in median allowing for both effective MT and OT. The Ronin is a dps with focus on rotations similar to kendo where you have a high, med, and low stance and will be able to execute skills in said stances. Bandits are pretty much your standard dps/debuff/buff class with abilities that can help a party. I also feel that their innate party buff is a 10% drop increase to rare mats. Oracle is essentially a "support" class (if SE ever decides to implement it). Using Yin Yang magic (FFT reference) to buff your party and debuff enemies.

Solider -> Dark Knight
Ronin -> Samurai/Ninja
Bandit -> Thief
Oracle -> Time Mage/Sage*

*Only implement the sage job when and if SE decides to put long beards in the game

^ agreed

Oh yea i meant "classes" earlier.
