Thread: what are some classes and jobs that you would like to see in 3.0

I would also live a garlean inspired gun blade class and it would not break the lore entirely because we have cid,biggs, and wedge who were garleans

The lack of Musketeer in this conversation must be remedied!

Fine fine, how about musketeer

Many of the suggestions in here are awesome ideas so i figured I'd add some of mine:

Class:Archer
Job:Ranger
Role: DPS
Primary Job skills:
(lvl 30)Long Shot: Fires a shot that deals damage to the target up to 30yalms away.(130 Potency),
(lvl 35)Running Shot: Deals damage to the target and increases user's movement speed for 5 seconds.(50 Potency),
(lvl 40)Sniper Sight: Increases ranged accuracy and damage.(no damage),
(lvl 45)Flaming Arrow: Fires a shot that deals damage and fire damage over time for 30 seconds.(130 Initial shot potency and 30 DOT potency),
(lvl 50)Dynamite Arrow: Fires a shot that deals damage to the target and others around the target.(150 Potency)

I'd like to see;

Dark Knight OR Samurai OR Viking: Tank
Green Mage: Healer

This class would be imbalanced, hope you know. Since Bard is balanced around having songs, having the same class with straight DPS skills makes it stronger than all other classes.

Skeptical? The game already does it! I mean for peats sake, take away the "heat generation" attribute from the WAR and PLD and what do you get? A DPS class. Take away the healing spells what do you get? A DPS class. There is NOTHING that sets one class from another. You can literally play every single DPS all and see no difference outside of the flashy weaponskill graphics they get. I'm not even close to joking.

Sick and tired of being able to group them into a role? That's how SE intended it and that's how it should stay. This isn't FFXI where you can pull all kinds of ridiculous crap because the players don't want to play classes like they were intended (Ninja tank? ludicrous).

Healing, Hate Generation, damage

I can mix and match these single 3 attributes between all the classes and they could all perform them EXACTLY the same way PERFECTLY with little to no difference in how they execute their skills.

Take a good hard look at every single combat class in this game and point out more than 3 differences between the healer,tank, and DPS. Go ahead, try it. I'm sure you'll struggle for about 5 mins before giving up and calling me some raging troll followed by "If you don't like the game that much, there's the door" remark.(If you don't, then you have my respect and I apologize for the potshot.)

1. Healers heal
2. Tanks have emnity skills
3. DPS don't do either of above (not efficiently)

Sure my job idea most likely have tons of balancing holes in it but it's a right side more creative than what we've seen so far. To be frank, I'm not getting my hopes up for anything new aside from flashy weaponskill graphics from the Ninja and other job to be introduced soon.

Would it kill SE to make a unique class for peats sake? :/

Your job idea is imbalanced from job skill at level 30. As I said, Archer already has the benefit of never having to stop moving to do damage which is why their standing DPS is lower than all other classes. Then you added 5 skills that do damage or increase their damage which makes them significantly more desirable than any of the other classes.

Ranger isn't unique, it's just Archer with DPS skills instead of songs.

So they implement "charge" bar for all of the ranger's skills then. forcing them to stand still outside of using the Running Shot and Sniper Sight skill. That balances things out right? I mean come on, Bard is a JOKE as it stands. As many other players have pointed out in the forums, Bard has one useful song and every single other is purely situational and almost never used. And don't even get me started on wondering what the hell possessed SE to give Bard(A DPS CLASS)the "Healers" Limit break...
