Predicting the next new Job after Ninja

[ZephyrAM]

Mystic Knight demand!


^ There you go, I made the demand bigger ^_^

Seriously though, I want to play my Mystic Knight! Sword! magic, En-spells, however they want to handle that, and I will happily tank the hell out of everything if we could just have it XD

Even though I know the demand for Corsair/Gunner has been high (considering the guild sign in Limsa too) but if you think about it, if they were going to bring in a far eastern feeling to the next jobs cause of Doma then I'd think Samurai for Tank, Ninja for DPS, and Dancer for DPS. The dancer could be more Geisha-esque to fit a far east feel if necessary. But considering Yugiri is from a desert like nation, then I can see Dancer as in looking like the dancers in Ul'dah as a job and maybe something different as a Tank.

Though quite frankly, I want something different as a tank. Something hybrid related or just different than your normal hulking mass of figure. If Corsair/Gunner is healer, Dancer for Tank all the way!!

Being how Ninja is the next job @ 2.4 AND they've stated 3.0 will have a new healer and tank....
I'm thinking the gun Job will be one of these, perhaps utilizing gunblade as a tank (but that doesn't fully fit with the dual gun depiction they've consistently given us)
Not really sure which iconic Healer class/job they're going to go towards, but I'm looking forward to trying it out!

I want a blue mage type job, would even think it could be a tank depending on how they managed it. Gun Mage, however, could fit into the dual gun depiction nicely and I would be happy with that too!

I'm sorry another DPS? Really do we need that? I know the rogue is a classic backstab dps, but I think we can ignore this aspect with a simple high evasion skill set and make this a tanking job, ala ffxi.

Another Tank job(even though FFXI style) is way better for variety than another DPS.

I can imagine moves like "acrobatics" that cause mobs to miss, but with added feature of increasing enimity the more mobs miss. So rather than "damage based" enimity and new game mechanic emerges. Maybe, roll-outs away from mobs or more AOE stabs like baulders gate?

PLEASE, no consumed ninja items. I despised this aspect in FFXI. GREAT for crafters, made this the most expensive jobs to level except maybe ranger in FFXI.

Another thing, NO freaking death/bomb moves. So freaking lame to be weaken in fight.. did anyone actually bother with this move? I'd much rather have a naruto "substation" move were the mobs continue to attach a wooden decoy then blowing myself up.

I'd love to see RDM or BLU however the latest live letter said RDM won't come until after 3.0, if at all... Sadness..

[Jandor]

Musketeer into Chemist (Healer) and Blue Mage (Something.)

[Nicobo]

As I have seen puppets in ARR, i think eventually there will be PuppetMaster ^^;

[Ethanqt]

Yes please add puppet master

[Kletian]

Chemist Healer and Samurai Tank. Yoshi confirmed the FF14 ninja will never be a tank.

...if this is true, then it could be that RDM will actually be a Tanking DoM class.

This would be awesome. I was just talking with friends about how I'd like to see a magic tank in the game, with abilities centered around pulling the enemy to them, rather than going to the enemy, like Death Grip in WoW. I'd like to see it as a pure magic class - nothing like a magic knight or something. Long-term magical self-buffs (or maybe just traits) could be used to make up for lost defense with weak armor. Magic naturally lends itself to ranged attacks, so that would easily be included.
