2nd Job Predictions

[LordSliver]

I think Hybrid class---> Fencer=wields rapier style swords and shields similar to what CNJ/WHM and THM/BLM use.
add ability as RDM to turn on or off the Enmity+ so they can tank if needed but are not required to be a tank and I would be all over this job fast.

I was trying to think of something that went with the description that Red Mages use both Black and White magic, wasnt sure how to fit the sword combating into the idea lol. I was reading the 5 pages in the thread and came up with a new idea for it.

Red Mage: Hybrid Class that can be used as a Healer or DPS. Base Classes - New Sword wielding class with Conjurer or Thaumaturge being required.

The most efficient Red Mage will use skills from all 3 base classes. But I add New Sword class because the current ones wouldn't work with Red Mage. Plus Red Mage would invite mixing the stats to be very useful instead of just sticking to one stat upgrade we usually do now.

Why wouldn't GLD work for RDM ? They can have all the skills from the base class change to change the gameplay of the job. RDM don't have to use multiple stats he can have a buff that makes him use his strength stat for magic abilities.

Changing a ton of abilities seems unlikely. A Job is an extension of the class, not a replacement.

The producer said that it's what will happens, especially for classes like GLD which have a lot of tanking abilities, they will be forced to remove the enmity effect and the damage reduction to make a DPS job.
