Predicting the next new Job after Ninja

[MartaDemireux]

Well, there will be two released at the same time (tank and healer). One of which we pretty much know will be Musketeer. Available jobs that could possibly come from it: COR (DPS/Support), RDM (DPS/Support, DPS, Healer), CHM (Healer), BLU (DPS/Support, DPS, Healer), RNG (DPS). I have a terribly hard time believing a gunner to be a tank within a FF game (although it's entirely possible) so that leaves MSK being our healer. The possibilities I see for the healer are RDM, CHM, BLU. Red Mage could function as a healer/DPS hybrid though I hope it comes with Fencer some day as it's schtick is swords not guns but their AF is very "3 Musketeer" looking so would fit the name of the class. Chemist fits the bill perfectly. Blue Mage is a job Yoshi really wants in, has used guns in the past and has had access to healing spells. My bet goes to MSK>CHM.

For the tank I'm seeing the trends across various websites on which jobs people want to see and that's leaning heavily to SAM/DRK/RDM/BLU. I personally cannot see DRK or RDM as a tank. I could see Mystic Knight as a tank but there's little demand for that. BLU could function as a tank probably; it could during low levels in FFXI. However seeing as how Yugiri's race will be revealed in 3.0 and how she wears garbs of far eastern style I would guess that along with the new race comes a new area, the far east. That makes me think Samurai will be the tank coming.

TL;DR: Musketeer>Chemist & Mononofu>Samurai.

PS: And please please if they bring enspells back for players to use have them used by Mystic Knight D: They should never have been given to RDM in XI.
