I miss thief's AF. I want that job to come ASAP too.. That exposed tummy was so sexy.

As for dancer making an appearance I'm all for it.

if the wiki that describes this is anything to go by.
would YOU want to play that class?

From personal experience in the job and also community and endgame.

- Dancer as a main role was a great solo class with its abilities.
- Party support in small groups (2-4) worked very well in things like XP parties and normal grind content.

It's weakness in XI was Endgame. As a subjob it provided more in endgame than the main job did. It's DPS/Support were just too little for the content compared to other jobs. You need to take into consideration the main content after DNC was released was Abyssea beyond WotG.

would YOU want to play that class?

Only if it had a defined role across content like other jobs in XIV bring. Otherwise it will just be something to lvl for cross-class abilities. Which if they did bring it to XIV, then it should be a class, rather than a job.

Erm..my DNC worked perfectly end-game..in all areas, even Delve. If by weakness in end-game you meant at 75 cap when it initially released and didn't even have it's Mythic weapon/skill, I agree since that's what it sounded like you meant when you stated the support job brought more. Heck, Dancer was actually one of the perfect roles for Delve considering how alliances split off to tackle it lol. So while true it excelled low man, like any job in XI, those horrible at it makes it seem useless in any regard.

For example Blue Mage was HORRIBLE end-game and almost no one wanted it...why? Because of all the Bludgeon only Blue Mages end-game. Now Blue Mage is everywhere lol. So in all reality, the only thing DNC would need for this game is a few more offensive skills, Steps were nice but still needed a bit more.

Honestly from my personal experience, since DNC was released until I quit after SoA last year. Never saw a DNC in any High Endgame Alliance Boss fights, they just were not favored over Higher DPS jobs, full healing jobs or even support classes like BRD or COR. Examples: Arch Dynamis Lord, Odin's Chamber II, and Legion.

Could be completely different now as the game has changed since SoA.

I really hope they put DNC in XIV, it was my favorite job alongside Red Mage (which I really hope gets in the game as well).

I hope to see it as the job for a dual knife/dagger class (thief maybe?). Can do a dual job for the class like arcanist has, make it thief -> ninja (as pure DPS) and dancer. Dancer would be either like a frontline healer with curing waltz and whatnot, or a DPS/support much like Bard is in XIV already. They have a few dancer templates to work off of after all, my preferred is XI's of course. I wouldn't mind it being like FFT's dancer, dances focus on debuffs over everything else. Can have the dances burn MP while they're up, lower dps by 20% like bard songs, and apply a debuff to the enemies (and maybe one of them could be drain samba, so everyone hitting the mob recovers a proportional amount of HP, like in XI ).

I'll be very happy if either DNC or RDM gets in the game, and ecstatic if both make it in =3

I loved dancer it was my favorite job in XI

[Alveus]

I would play dancer only on two conditions:

1: it is a physical healer

2: and SE fixes the lack of butts in this game so I can heal my party with magic twerking skills

I keep on seeing these "my favorite job in XI" posts. The thing is that I highly doubt that FFXIV's DNC will be anything like FFXI's DNC. I'm expecting it to be a dedicated Healer class that uses TP instead of MP. Maybe it will focus more on HP regen through the length of it's dances.

IIRC Minfillia is supposed to be a DNC and she uses a dagger when you're introduced to melding. I'm fairly certain DNC will be coming, just not the same jack of all trades from XI that everyone is expecting. Only a pur healer would make sense for XIV's armory system. Wouldn't be surprised if PUG was the secondary class with Mantra and Second Wind.

Thats fine. I'd still love to see the job/class in this game too.
