[Game] Make a Class/Job format!

[Nheir]

Simple, dont make Cleric Stance a Cross Class ability.

I thought of that too. I know some SCH pull so they can DPS as well. So maybe just don't allow RDM to pull it?

I posted this before months ago, but just for fun I will repeat it here:


Class: Fencer

Melee DPS based on DEX. Weapon type = Rapiers and Knives


Job: Theif

Fencer gains stealth ability, Steal, Mug and greater Backstabbing ability.


Job: Red Mage

Fencer gains buffs (en-fire?) that add Magical damage to their normal attacks. They also have a lot of freedom to take cross class abilities from WHM and BLM.

Job: Ascetic
Class: Thaumaturge
Subclass: Conjurer
Cross-class: Pugilist
Role: Healer

As before with Hoplite, my reasoning is simple. Ul'dah needs healers. So, again, how does one make a healer from a DD? Well, Square did it already, just look at arcanist. Now, yes, arcanist does get a healing spell early on in Physick so Ascetic would likely rely on cross-class to have early healing. And yes, like Scholar, they'd not get an Esuna action until late in levels. But that didn't stop people from playing Scholars. Don't see it stopping people from playing Ascetic. Thaumaturge isn't a bad foundation for more diverse caster types.

Job: Hoplite
Class: Lancer
Subclass: Gladiator
Cross-class: Marauder
Role: Tank

My reasoning is pretty basic. Every city-state has a tank role except Gridania. Every city-state is lacking in one of the roles, yes (Ul'dah has no healer, Limsa Lominsa has no melee DD), and these should be addressed as well. But when the roles are taken at their basic (tank, healer, DD) only Gridania and Ul'dah is lacking. So how does one turn a DD into a tank? Well, Warrior provides the most viable answer to that. Have the level 30 action be a stance. Further, like with the arcanist Jobs (arcanist Jobs gain the secret trait Combat Casting, which is only visibly available to conjurers) you could attach a hidden trait with the Job change that improves enmity generation from combo actions.

I could go for this one.

So it'd be using a lance then? jw

[Rakashu]

Job: Action Man
Class: Fists
Subclass: Man
Cross-class: Cyborg
Role: Risk Assessment & Management.

every group needs a certain type of man whose willing to go above and beyond the call of duty, some one who knows the risks, knows how to weigh them, and is willing to punch through them with the fists God gave him.

lawl I got too excited while reading and thought this was a fun thread where you could post anything just for fun/killing time so I spent like twenty mins thinking of random stuff only to realize this thread is serious. Huge derp moment...

Edit: Sorry, for clarification I mean..

No that'd work fine! haha Just so long as it sorta fits the format.

alright, but it's still more for fun than anything else so don't expect it to look balanced or maybe even useful 8D

Edit: Taking longer than I wanted lawl but it became pretty fun so I kept adding more and changing stuff
